Feelin' good in the 'hood!

Oh. My. Gosh.  I FORGOT what it felt like to feel "normal" and healthy!  Holy cow, today I felt like a whole new woman.  I had energy, I felt no pain anywhere, I could eat whatever I wanted, I went out to pizza with the family and we went to the outlet mall to do some long awaited back to school shopping for Isaac and Emma.  Every day I have felt so guilty sending Isaac to school in jeans with holes and Emma to preschool in dresses she had outgrown.  But finally I had the time, energy and health to at least get them a few things. :) 

And, there's no school tomorrow, so we're gonna find a park and completely KAMPTOWNE* it.  I can hardly wait!  I have missed my kids and my life. 

Today I actually wrote an email to Isaac's teacher to ask her a favor.  I asked her to call me if ever a lot of kids came to school w/ sniffles or coughs, or other sicknesses.  I said I'd come get Isaac and take him home.  This was my doctor's idea, and I liked it.  Anything to keep the sickies away!  And fun for me and Isaac. ;) I don't want to turn in to "that parent" that annoys the teacher, but hopefully she gets it. 


*To completely take over or dominate.  Sometimes it can mean to flip something over and set it on fire.

Oh man! Laurie, I had no idea! I'm so sorry. I just decided to browse FB a little this morning and came across a post about your battle and then this link to your blog. What can I say that doesn't sound stupid?? I've no idea, but you and your family will be in my thoughts and prayers!! Love you!

That's a really good idea and if you let her know a little background about it I am sure she will understand and go the extra mile for you. So glad to hear that you are feeling better!!

So glad to hear that you are feeling better!! I am sure that if you talk to the teacher a little about what is going on she will go that extra mile and give you a call.
