The Breakfast of Champions...

Robbie started his job today, well fed, neatly dressed and with a smile on his face. The only complaint was the ungodly hour he had to get up.....6:30 am! **gasp**

I am anxious to hear about his day. It's always interesting, those first few weeks of a new job. You meet all sorts of new people with new perspectives, hobbies, likes and dislikes. There's a new lunch routine that you have to learn, the office politics you quickly have to decide to stay away from, the new time sheets you have to complete and all that paperwork.....do I claim 0, 1, 2, or can I claim my cats as dependents?

What a snazzy guy, banana and all. I hope his day went well. I'll be expecting a detailed blog from either of you.

I don't know why but it still makes me glad you have that table. It's nice to see.

We love the table....I even found a china hutch that looks like it was made to go with the table. I will send you a picture of it.

Hope you aren't missing the fam too much - can't wait to get all the details of your week.

I hope Robbie's first day was good! Make sure you eye all that paperwork, if he takes any hints from his friend Lane he will be claiming you and both of the cats!

Well Catie, I am glad you asked, we did catch a Cirque du Soleil show, while we were in Las Vegas. We saw Mystere at Treasure Island. This was one of the original Cirque shows in Vegas, now you have "O" (the water show), "KA" (the fire show), "Zumanity" (the adult show), and there is a new Beatles themed show.

The show was pretty amazing, it was a series of French circus acts: trapeze, acrobatics involving vertical poles, acrobatics involving trampolines at 45 degree angles, acrobatics invoving a spring board/teter-toter, and finally 2 buff dudes using each other as jungle gym.

I highly recommend it as an alternative to gambling your money away the next time you're in Vegas.

Settling in...

Next month marks our 8th Moved to Kansas City Anniversary. Eight years and I am just now feeling like we are settling in. Life is moving along at a steady clip. I have a love/hate relationship with Facebook, but thank goodness it exists or I would never know anything about anybody. Having a small child seems to suck you into this introverted world where all you (feel) like you do is pick up toys, read Little Golden Books and sing The Wheels On the Bus. But, of course, this is only partially true. As disconnected as I feel to the world outside of my home and the Cancer Center, I am that much more connected to my beautiful son. I am learning to accept that "balance" is a myth. Lately, I've spent a lot of time challenging my notion of health and wellness. Robbie and I joined a gym and I am actually committing time to go. In fact, I even made the large investment to work with a personal trainer. I am trying so incredibly hard to hang up my discomfort and unease about my bod...

I knew I was forgetting something...

Writing and keeping a journal has always been cathartic for me and I think often, "I should jot that down." The many " thats " that have gone by since last July are almost too numerous to count, and frankly, I've sadly forgotten most of them. I love to write and this blog is testament to that. Unfortunately, my time and energy is limited these days and given my OCD nature, I can't just write a simple little update without revision and editing. I've always wanted to be sure I am saying what I mean and mean what I say...and if I can do it eloquently with a little additional thought, well even better. And that's where I struggle these days. It seems my brain power is more focused on the miles of pages that need to be read for class, remembering to pick my child up from daycare and staying on top of a job that, at times, consumes more of my life than I'd rather admit. Needless to say, I'm busy and taking time to sit, think, ponder and write (gra...

Gaining wait...

The heaviness of a few extra pounds compares little to the heaviness of grief. I'm feeling quite heavy these days and am impatiently waiting for a lighter spirit. The Daily Cancer Grind makes me weary and a little over a week ago Robbie's cousin lost her precious 4 month old daughter, Kate. Attending the funeral did little to ease the grief, but spending time with Kate's twin sister, her mommy, daddy and other caring relatives helped (a little) in redirecting the anger I was feeling. Am feeling. The grief in that home was palpable. It breathed, rattled the walls. We are losing patients, naturally...the holidays are approaching. I saw it in the funeral industry and the hospice industry and now the cancer care industry. People decline this time of the year. Not that the holidays are depressing enough. It's different this time though. I'm losing friends. Some of these women I see more than my best gal pals. I'm watching their decline and wishing on anything, everyt...
