All posts, Chemo Round 1, Treatments 1 Minute

“When life gives you a hundred reasons to break down and cry, show life that you have a million reasons to smile and laugh.”

The past few days have been tough. It seems that 2 days after chemo is the day I have the most side effects. Then yesterday I was feeling a little better but still so tired. Physically this is difficult. But mentally it’s even harder. I’m trying to figure out a new normal. I can put in a load of laundry but then I have to sit down. I can run a quick errand but then I have to come home and take a nap.

It’s beyond frustrating I can’t do all the things I want to do. And I feel guilty that Ellie is in daycare while I’m home, but there is absolutely no way I could care for her by myself right now.

But today is a new day. Woke up feeling a little more positive. Got some good Saturday morning snuggles with this sweet boy.

And then Ellie started dancing with her little ducky. 🐥 🤣

Definitely have plenty of reasons to smile and laugh. 😍

  1. Ben and Ellie are the best medicine! Love that she enjoys her duck and her dancing always is a reason to smile. You are strong and amazing at how you are dealing with tiredness and other annoying side effects. Hoping you have more good days. Take those naps! Glad Ben and Ellie provide hugs, smiles and comfort. ❤️❤️❤️ Ps- hoping Gramma’s gift of a singing duck continues to cause dancing and smiles for you- and not dread of hearing the songs millions of times! Lol! Ellie is quick to push the music button the minute it stops! ❤️ Love Mom

  2. Celebrate the jobs you are doing. Remember that you are at work….taking care of yourself. It is a big job that you are up to. Thank goodness for daycare and the support the kids get there, giving you time to gather strength to enjoy their snuggles and dancing. Hope today was a better day.❤️😍
