Say it ain't so Katie!

On my way home from painting class yesterday the temperature was a nice 75 degrees. As of 11:30 this morning the temperature was 32 and dropping! It is now sleeting and freezing, making for a slick drive home. Not to mention the wind is a blowin'.

The good news:
Robbie's office is closing early, school let out early and may not open tomorrow and oh, the snow is on the way!

Lane, get that sled ready - we are breakin' it in this year.

One thing you hear about often in "these parts" is the big ice storm of 2002. Let's hope we don't have a repeat of this...














Stay warm everyone, and drive safely! Especially all of those baby havin peeps out there. Oh, and Brent & Melissa........enjoy CA while you can.

Hi, It's cold here too. We've had sleet and rain and thunder and snow and I think I see ice on the street and sidewalks. I really didn't think it would happen. They get kind of over excited about weather here.

Went to see Dr. Stierlen today. Susan took me. We had a good time. He is so friendly. I'm being tested for a UTI. Last night I was up until after 2 and here I am up again tonight. I was almost asleep and then your dad came to bed. So, I got up. No use fighting it. Dr. Bryants nurse said that I could start walking a little each day. Of course as soon as I hung up the phone it started raining. Right now I am really having trouble finding the positive in this. What I really want to do is have a tantrum...Oh well, this will pass. It's only temporary, right? Love, Mom

I would be all for the sledding... but I don't think it is allowed right now. Oh well, I guess I could take pictures (BORING!)

Tulsa got 12" of snow on top of at least 3" of ice. Today was sunny but really cold. I worked from home yesterday and today. Andrea and Rob called last night and their electricity was off. It came back on after a couple hours. They had flashlights, candles plenty of blankets and were going to watch a movie on the laptop.

Glad your Thanksgiving was good. Wish I could have seen "this year's pie". I will never forget the one a few years ago that was slightly overcooked.

Where would we have been if this storm would have been last weekend?
Love to both of you

Those pictures are so pretty. If you didn't look closely, you would think that they are black and whites touched up with red and yellow and brick color. Very pretty! Mom

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...
