I am starting to feel so much better, and so much more normal. It has now been three weeks and two days since my surgery. While I am still in pain from the tissue expanders (awful little things, that I am sure I will come to lovingly accept due to what they are doing for [...]

Today is my baby sister’s last day in Phoenix. She came to be here for surgery recovery, and to help with the kids while I had the port surgery. So today we shopped and bought my first wig. My daughter was absolutely dying for me to go platinum blonde, but for my first wig I [...]

“And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing… and God saw that it was good.” So God created the bugs, and called them good. Well I am not so sure about that right now. UGH!!!! There is a big lice infestation going on at my [...]
