Thoughts at 5:00 am

I got up at 4:30 last night to feed Lauren. I could not go back to sleep and so all kinds of thought filled my mind.

1. Nathan has now lived more than half of his life as a cancer patient. He was 33 months at diagnosis. He is now 66 months. How warped his life view must be.

Nathan just came in the room as I was writing this - he just asked me did I remember when he had cancer and was wobbly and he had to hold on to the IV pump to walk. So - yes - I guess I just confirmed my thoughts. Before he just told me this he came up and snuggled up to me and said he loved me. I then took his picture because he is wearing a new shirt and looks so handsome.



2. I am trying to put together a birthday party for Julia. She turns 4 on the 22nd. I was working on the details of that. She wants a party at home with a Strawberry Shortcake theme. She wants to do arts and crafts. I really need to send out the invitations. I must try to keep my house clean between now and then so it isn't too much work to get ready.

Hmm - my other thoughts seem to have escaped me. Probably because now I am thinking about getting ready to go and all I need to do today. I am taking Julia to Tammy's (sitter) getting some things from the store and then taking Nathan to the clinic for chemo this afternoon.

Gotta go.....

Nathan is adorable. You don't know me, but I found your blog when I was searching for things worth reading.

Just want to let you that your family is in my thoughts.
