Humor. I still have it! I have been think about the things that I said and done recently you keep my sanity.
The other day after picking out my wig. Per the kids request I wore the wig into Michael's. I have several excuses for what happened next e.g. the day was hot, the wig was long, it was my first time wearing it.
Anyway when we were leaving the store, I pulled of my wig sitting right there in the front seat of my van. Big deal right? HA - I see movement in the truck next to me. The sweet old man (who has just watch the kids and I cross to and pack ourselves into to van) looks once, twice, and as he turns to look again I slid on my hat and smiled at him. The look on his face, I cannot even begin to describe. But I will admit laughing most of the way home. I know, Bad Stephanie.
But I have to laugh.
Maybe I will write the Fleetwood Mac / Swine Flu incident later - now that was wrong but funny.

Update
Yesterday, I had my 3rd chemo treatment. All went well. Today Kris and I met with the doctor after my Neulasta Shot (mom calls it my B12). So here is the news.
I am scheduled to take my 4th treatment in 3 weeks. Afterwards I will have another CT Scan to see where I and my little friend Non-Hodgkin's stand. Depending on what the CT Scan shows, I will either finish the traditional 6 treatment chemo regiment or additional treatments will be added (as needed).
After the Chemo treatment is finished then it will be time to move on the the radiation treatments.
So how do I feel? - I am really tired.

MY HAIR!!!
So... my hair. Now I liked my hair, but I never thought of it as my best attribute. My sisters (Nicole and Carrie) they have great hair, no matter what their hair looks perfect. My cousin Kim is someone who could change her hair and no matter what looks great. My mom - I can only hope my hair will look as good as hers one day. Mine looks good for about 10 minutes, goes flat before I arrive at (__fill in the blank__), and then I have to pull it back to get it out of my eyes.


That being said. Nicole hooked me up with a cute halo (wig) and hat combo. This one will be great from the summer since it isn't a full wig, the hat covers part of my bare head.
The American Cancer Society has Wig Day at the cancer center I take my treatments. The kids and I went on Monday. Yes, as I am sure you already reliazed it was a regular laugh riot. Joe would not stop laughing and Kate didn't like any of them. We took a little drive of the American Cancer Society's office and Dione (a wonderful woman - god bless her) helped all three of us. The kids just couldn't see me in short hair (one wig they informed me made me look like Nana - my mother in law). If the hair didn't come to my shoulders - it was a no go. What you see below is the compromise. The kids have given me permission to get it trimmed up a bit -- but not much.
Keeping the Kids Busy
After a interesting day getting my hair. The kids and I made a trip to Michael's for crafts. (And Father's Day Gift - I can say that because Kris won't be reading this. HA) The kids looked so determined I couldn't help but laugh. Kaitlyn is painting a little blue parrot and Joseph by some rare coincidence is painting a pirate.
