Sweet Life in the City

"And miles to go before I sleep.  And miles to go before I sleep" Robert Frost Stopping by Woods on a Snowing Evening Do you ever have one of those days or weeks? Today the line from Robert Frost's poem has been running through my head. Monday was a crazy day with all the bad weather. Tuesday Samuel's little earache turned into a full-blown "Mom, my ear is REALLY hurting". He complained at school so I knew it was infected. Samuel is not a complainer and the fear of having to leave school would keep him from complaining to his teacher about his ear hurting. Well I had class Tuesday night and I was not sure when we could get him to a doctor. They could not get him in at his doctor and the walk-in clinic for him is way across town and the wait would be too long for me to get back in time for class. So, I called up my doctor's office because they have a walk-in place that I have gone to several times. They could get him in. So, I leave work an hour early and...

We had a wonderful weekend! The weather was beautiful on Saturday and Sunday. Saturday was spent going through the many boxes and Tupperware containers in our garage. I am planning on having a yard sale  (anyone want to join me :)) in a few weeks and I have to get rid of some things. We are in "get the house back on the market" mode and trust me it is not fun! I emptied about 10 containers of things that I am going to put in the yard sale. They are mostly kids clothes that I can no longer hang on to.

Sam and Emma went on an errand with Jeremy so Chloe "helped" me get the rooms in order. She was so cute. She kept asking me "dat heaby" (that heavy) every time I moved or picked up some ...

April 2nd. The day the world stopped. Well, the day it stopped for me. The day that would divide my entire life Before and After cancer.  I had been having some problems for about a year. I went to the doctor and I was assured that the problems I was experiencing were normal and since I was so young "my body would work itself out".  So I went home and I waited for my body to start working, whatever that meant. Several months went by and the problems continued but I did not go back to the doctor since I was told that I would be alright. In the meantime Jeremy and I moved to Florence, SC for Jeremy to attend school. He was also hired on as the Assistant pastor at a FWB church right outside of Florence. I got a job as a Customer Service rep for Washington Mutual. It was good money but I hated the job. It was very stressful and I started to feel even worse and noticed the problems I was having was only getting worse. I found a doctor in Florence and I really like him. He prescrib...
