Just a Reminder...

If you want to help sponsor me in the Race For the Cure, get your donations in. Time is running out! The race is next Sunday, EEK!!! Less than two weeks away! I still have a ways to go to meet my goal, so every donation is very much appreciated! Here is the page to go to so you can make your online donation. And if you want to register to walk with me, you can go to the same page and then there is a place on the left that says "register for the event". You don't have to, but you are more than welcome to join the Holston Medical Group team, that's the team I'm on. Gotta go, today is treatment #8, just 4 more after this one!

Better post while it's fresh on my mind, and since I haven't posted in over a week. Sorry guys, hope no one has missed me too awful bad ;) I'll start out telling you about Autumn's week, my 6yr old daughter. Sunday night at bedtime, she got up and told me and her dad that her tooth was bleeding and it was ready to come out, we checked it and I didn't really think it was ready, but there was no convincing her of that. So her and her daddy wiggled and messed with it for a while and did manage to get it a little bit loser, and, of course, bleeding more, but wasn't having any luck actually getting it out. So I tied a piece of dental floss too it and got it stuck!!! Well, it had to come out then, or take her to the emergency room to get the floss off, lol. Good ole dad gave it a yank and out it came! That was one of the top front, the other top front had already been pulled and was about half way grown back. THEN, if that wasn't enough, she gets up right after we put them to bed on Tuesday night, (she's one of those kids that finds a million and one reasons to get up when you put them in bed!) saying another tooth was bleeding, yes she lays in bed messing with them to get them loose, so I check it and sure enough, it was ready to come out too. Dad had just went to bed so I figured I could try this one on my own. It would have came out on the first try if she hadn't pulled my arm away, but the second attempt was a go, came right out. Being a major snaggle tooth is really no big deal giver her age, but the real winner....they had school pics made the next day! Oh, I didn't tell you which tooth THIS one was, it was on the other side of the top one that was half grown back! So she has half a tooth in the front on top, LOL! Just makes her that much cuter!! Maybe I will get a pic and show you. Yesterday morning we're getting ready for school and I rolled her hair with my curling brush, knowing it won't stay, but more just to keep it "tame", she has some super fly aways!! I had her look in the mirror to she what she thought, and keep in mind, it did NOT look any different than normal, just not flying away everywhere and I had put a very very small clip to the side pulling some of her bangs back a little, well she's use to a ponytale everyday and didn't much care for what I had done. She informed me what she thought by saying "Mom, my hair looks like I just got out of bed and my momma didn't brush it!". Ah, out the mouths of babes! It makes me laugh now, but it really made me mad when she said it, lol! She's a character, that one, I tell ya! Never a dull moment! I could write a book about her and her "ways", but Ethan, doesn't talk much, keeps to himself and is perfectly content that way! Grayson, on the other hand, is just like his sister with a tad of his brother mixed in. When I found out I was pregnant, I wanted a little girl with Ethan's personality but figured I would end up with a boy with Autumn's personality. Did I ever hit the nail on the head, got a boy that acts just like his sister, talk talk talks all the time, lol! Well, I'm not gonna be able to finish my post, gonna go visiting, lol! I'll be back later!

I've updated my "thank you's" to reflect the latest donors, again, thanks so much!! I never imagined that I would have raised as much as I have just by sending out a few emails! I have posted donation forms at my church, and my sister is selling some breast cancer awareness stuff in the OR where she works, so I hope my total goes up a bit more! And, let's see, so far I have recruited 5 people to walk with me. I have a few more that have said they would, but I have 5 that are registered! If I feel like I do now, I should be able to get through the 3.1miles, I'll be tired, but I should be able to make it. But, if treatments get worse, it will be a challenge. Not that the treatments are bad, but the Dr told me that they would get progressively worse with each one, meaning the symptoms will at their worst at the end. I will have finished treatment #9 when race day comes around. We'll just have to wait and see I guess. But I'm determined to be there and go as far as I can! So far the only bad part about these treatments has been fatigue. I've just been really tired since the last one, can't seem to get enough sleep. Tomorrow is #6!! That means I'll be half way finished when I get done with it!! Changing the subject...I can definitely tell the the seasons are changing, it's getting a tiny bit cooler and there is a hint that the leaves are changing. I wish I could say that this was a good thing, but the truth is, the fall is when depression sets in, and having all this "new" stuff to add to it isn't gonna be much fun. I really hate this too, because the fall is such a beautiful time of year here in TN, and I love everything about it, the cool crisp air, the colors of everything, the fall decorations, hot drinks, and I could go on and on, but on those dreary gloomy days I just can't help but feel BLUE! Yes, I'm on medication for it, so it's not as bad as it use to be, but I still feel yucky some days. Now, please know, I'm not posting this for sympathy or for anyone to feel sorry for me, this is my blog, a place to write how I feel, good and bad, and that's just what I'm doing. The reason it was brought up today is because it's rainy here and just reminds me of one of those days. Closing this one up for now, gonna see if my little one will nap with me! Don't forget to go to the Komen site, link on the right side under my pic a ways, and see how I'm doing with fundraising!

Special Thank You's...

I want to thank these people from the bottom of my heart for donating, in my honor, for the Komen race.
