My first PTR..May 2011 anyone out there??

[loganpaulsmom]

I don't think there's any trouble planning as long as you know the whole thing can change once you get there! I know what I want to do, but the reality is that we might have a different plan once we get there.

Plus without planning however would one pass the time before the trip!?

That is the funny thing.. I realize that once I get there everything won't go according to planned and I am definitely OK with that. I really have just been focusing my attention on so much planning to take my mind off of everything else.. When it comes down to it.. I am just So happy to be going and if life threw us a curve ball (which is does often) and all my plans went out the window,I would be OK with just being there.. After all, it doesn't matter where you are in the World. is all around..

1 month from today..

I can't believe it.. it is coming up so fast..
Logan and I created a countdown calendar today.. But, I can't post any pictures because........the camera really is broken.. spoke to a Nikon person today and it won't be able to get fixed.. $220 down the tubes.. argghhhh..

But.. on a better note.. 1 month today.. 1 month today..

So even though I don't have a camera right now I was able to take Doug's Iphone and take some pictures of the clothing and such that I have ready to be packed.. Yes, I have a problem !!! I also created our little countdown calendar with Logan yesterday.. I am SO not creative but it looks cute and Logan was really excited about it..

Sorry can't figure out how to resize.. this is our calendar..

this is my travel purse. I LOVE IT.. it has a pocket for everything.. it is that nice water resistant material and it was only $14.99

These are some of the clothes I have.. The dresses are mostly for out to dinner and cover-ups for the pool.. Yes, I have a problem.. LOL

here are some of Doug's shorts.. he is always the last to get anything. this time I said " you NEED clothes"..haha (i think i figured out how to resize now)

Logan's clothes.. yeah.. i have no idea how I am going to fit everything.. but, I made a decision. I am on vacation there is NO way I am doing laundry.. So, since he's 5 I need 2 outfits a day for him, cause he's a slob.. HAHAHA

Woohooo... one month!!! Sorry to hear the bad news on the camera. Love the countdown, it is cute and who cares how fancy it is , you are just going to toss it when you are done with it! I will have to remember to do this for the boys if we don't just suprise them with our trip. Have fun planning and packing!

Ok readers... WHERE HAVE YOU ALL GONE??? HAHA..

So.. tomorrow is a very nerve wracking day for me.. I have my 6 month check up.. early morning blood work followed by an MRI and then to meet my Doctor.. I believe in my heart of hearts that everything will be fine but that still doesn't let me NOT be worried..

I decided to go in it alone too.. Back in Aug. and Sept. when all of this way going on I had my husband at most things with me because I was a crazed lunatic and so anxious it was ridiculous.. I cried pretty much every time I had to the doctor because I was afraid of the unknown.. NOt that there wasn't a reason I should have been scared.. But, this time I think I will just be more worried and anxious if I have my hubby with me.. So, i am gonna be a big girl.. Hopefully, they do MRI's the same way as my previious place.. I was so ridiculously scared it was crazy.. But, they asked me if I wanted a towel over my face and I said YES.. then they rolled me in and I was fine (although I have to admit I took some anxiety medication) but this time I am planning, hoping on going cold turkey.. Since my about 1 month into my recovery I have not taken any pain medication or any anxiety meds and I just want to stay that way..
Then, after I am heading to my friends house so she can do my hair.. Nothing like getting yourself beautified to make you feel a little better about yourself.. Here is a picture of Logan from this morning. We had the Mommy and me Tea party at his school.. (Notice the white undershirt, his nice white

shirt was too tight and he didn't care)...lol

Logan is adorable!

Good luck tomorrow, I hope that all the tests turn up negative and you get a clean bill of health.

Awe.. thanks Mindy.. i don't even post half the stuff he says.. On FB I do.. I have lovingly referred to them as " loganisms" and I will run into random people from my friends list and they will say to me " I just love reading your Loganisms".. He can't be a big difficult to deal with, but most of the time we are doing it with
a smile because he is so funny..
Here is an example: The other day I put on the show the Real World.. He came walking into the room that I was in and sat down for the second.. He watchs for a minute and turns and says to me " MOm, I do like the Real World but it is kind of inappropriate for children".. LOL

Lessa thanks for the encouraging words.. I am about 10 minutes from leaving for the hospital.. arghhh.. and my stomach is in knots.. But, I will be fine.. LOL

Aww, too funny. I ofte think I should have kept a journal of thingsmy kids have said that crack us up. How fun it would be to look back on it someday..

CANCER FREE 6 MONTHS

I had my testing today.. As I said yesterday, i went in it alone.. I was fine with the blood work.. Even fine with the invasive MRI (I had one previous to this but this one was much more nervewracking) was fine until I was being pulled out of the tube.. I just started WAILING.. I guess it must have been a culmination of the past 6 months and the fact that for some reason I hadn't taken into consideration that after all my testing this morning I was going to be seeing my Doctor.. So he could tell me my results.. The fear of what was going to be told me to was just overwhelming.. But, GOD was watching out for me (as I believe he has been since this whole ordeal started) and low and behold my BFF of 20 years appears in front of me (she works in the medical field and the hospital I was having my testing done was actually one of her hospitals).. She stayed with me while I waited to see my Doctor and even went into the room with me.. She was by my side as she pretty much always has been for the past 20 years.. Even after the Doctor told me the good news I collapsed in her arms.. It is just So much to take in.. And I just feel so blessed.. Now.. I can celebrate like its 1999 in just 3 weeks and 6 days..
