Happy Thanksgiving!

I hope each and everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving! We did. The in-laws and us went to my parents for Thanksgiving. My cousin and her family were there, my grandparents, my sister and her family and my parents were all there. There was TONS of food and we all had a great time! We all sat around after eating looking at the Black Friday ads. We picked out what we were after and had fun talking about it. David and his dad left to go watch a movie and then around 4pm his mom, the kids and I all left to come back home. We also got our tree up. It's not decorated, but it is up.

David and I decided that we were going to get up for some items. Since our printer/scanner has hit the dust we got the HP printer from Wal-Mart for $25. It came with both inks so it basically paid for itself. David also picked up both kiddos coats at Wal-Mart for $15 regularly $35, so both were less than one by itself. They needed them bad. Skyler was still wearing his one from last year and you could tell it was too small, and Kaylee has been wearing her light jacket, cause hers was way to small from last year. Then later on during the day I picked up the color wonder pads that Wal-Mart had for $5 each, one for Skyler and one for Kaylee. Then at Target I got the Memorex DVD player for $20, so the kids can watch their own movies/shows when we would like to watch something. I also got a toy for Skyler for mom at Target. My camera has been about ready to roll over and die for awhile so David got me the Nikon camera that they had on sale for $88. Which I very much appreciated, I just have to figure this one out. I also got a few odds and ends at Target and Wal-Mart. I already had the majority of the toys bought before I found out about my cancer, but this kind of put a halt to the additional stuff that I would of like to have gotten them. All in all it was a pretty good day.

The in-laws left once we got back. It was sad to see them go, however, it is nice to have my house back again. I am gearing up for next week. Kaylee is off to see the dr Monday about her head. She has seemed like she is just very agitated all the time since it happened, just not herself. Then Wednesday is chemo day. I am not really looking forward to it at all. I will just take it one day at a time though.

Again I hope everyone had a wonderful Holiday! And just think 27 more shopping days til Christmas!

Update

Besides being extrememly sore, things are going ok. Just a little bruised from the surgery. I have been getting on the internet, and it does escape from things, but then I have a sering pain and come back to reality. I know I have been pushing myself too hard, because David does not want to seem to pick up any slack at all. And it gets sooooo frustrating. I am not suppose to be picking up anything, but yet I am because he always finds an excuse about everything. I thought this time around would be different, but it's not. He had three days off Sunday through Tuesday and did not do any cleaning, his parents just got in today and he has known and the only room that he cleaned up was ours. This is just so frustrating. Once again after surgery I had to finish what was done. I am so sore from it all.

His parents are in until Friday (I think) and his dad, David and Kaylee all went to Wal-Mart to get groceries, some reason Subway did not deposit anyones checks and said they will be there Monday, So I literally had no money for groceries this weekend. Anyways they all went and David said Pepsi had a display set up with just a few 24 packs of pepsi in the front and then a ton of Diet Pepsi behind that. He grabbed a pack of Pepsi, and his dad was crossing it off the list when all of a sudden they heard Kaylee crying. Kaylee was in the cart in the front and she had 4-5 cases of pepsi piled on top of her. David said all of a sudden 10 managers/employees came running over. She has a HUGE goose egg on her head, and David said he held her for awhile and once he let her get down she didn't quite have her balance and she had wanted to go to sleep right after it happened. Wal-mart said that they would pay for the ER visit and everything. So we took her and they said to watch her for the next several days. Wal-Mart said that Pepsi was liable since they build the displays, however my questions is this, if it is in your store don't you have a liablity to your customers to make sure items in your store are safe? I think they are both liable. How hard is it to have an employee check items. I am just really frustrated and my heart just sank when David told me. I just hope that she is ok, because we sure can not take any more bad news right now.

Wow!

Man I just can not seem to keep up with the blog like I use to. Work and Facebook def get in my way of keeping it up. For those who don't know I have been diagnosed with Breast Cancer and will be having surgery on Thursday to remove it, the surgery was originally Wednesday but it got pushed back, and then the 3rd of Dec I will be starting chemo. I am very scared this time go around but I am planning on keeping a positive outlook. My last day of work is tonight. Not really sad, I like the people I work with just don't like the aspects of the jobs and the nite hours. The kids are very happy that I am not going to be working. When I told them that today was my last day working they were very happy. With the chemo I am going to have 6-8 cycles of treatment and it will be aggressive. I know I will lose my hair but my mom and sister are going to help me shave it before the chemo can take it. My biggest worry is the kids. I just don't want them to be afraid or sad. Also money is a big concern. Since I will not be working I am super stressed about how we will make bills. But I know and hope we will find a way.

My in laws are coming in for Thanksgiving. They are coming up this Sunday and will leave the following Sunday. This is the first time that they will stay and entire week. Normally they come up the day before Thanksgiving and leave that Sunday. I hope they will put up the tree with the kids and I am hoping to get my father in law to hang the lights, because I know David won't do it. We have chosen not to tell them so that they can enjoy their visit. We are going to tell them before they leave. The kids are excited for them to come in. We only get to see them twice a year.

But I hope to be back within a week to keep you updated about how the surgery went and how I am feeling.
