The hair's coming out! Its a little disgusting, and definitely disturbing, but there's only a 5% chance it stays in. After the 76% thing, I am always aiming for the majority, so let it fall. I am trying to get the courage to shave it, but its not here yet. What a stupid thing to hang onto, strands of hair that may or not be attached anymore. Maybe tomorrow I'll do it. I did buy a sucker for Max so we can call it a party and bribe him with candy in case he freaks out. I'm at home today. I took the little dudes to daycare, whihch I feel bad about considering I'm home, but I have to keep reminding myself to take it easy so I can get better. I feel like there are all these things I should be doing. I used to be able to lay on a couch all day long in college doing nothing, completely guilt free, apparently those days are gone. I do feel pretty good today. I feel a little loopy, and like I need to walk slow, and do everything slowly, but I'm not nauseous. The headache that I seem to get from drugs or chemo is gone for now. My dad's working today, and I still have a 1/2 day planned for tomorrow. We'll see after that.
My school last Thursday dressed in pink for me. Not to be outdone by Tillamook, kids had on pink or at least a pink ribbon, as did staff members. It was hard to find a kid that didn't have pink on somewhere, even the skippers. I also had balloons, flowers, cards, a bear, and a giant pink heart made by the spanish class. Very flattering. I had one girl that came up to tell me that she had a pink tank top on, but it was cold, so you couldn't see it, but she wanted to make sure I knew that she cared about me. Aw, how cute, maybe she's not really flunking... ha ha
Having Rick & Debbie here was great. Max & Cannon of course loved it, Max got the infamous doughnut from the store, as he usually does when a grandparent takes him, and Cannon got to be held as much as he wanted. Brent & Rick did some serious weeding, Debbie & Brent did some serious cleaning, and I did some serious sleeping. How worthless am I? So, when I get up the courage to be the bald girl, I'll post a picture, talk to you soon.

Take your time Mo with the hair. Mom waited awhile and then shaved it...she still cried, but do you remember what awesome hair she had when it came back in? I am so proud of you for taking it easy..it will sure pay off on the recovery trail. The good thing about taking the kids to daycare is they are on the same schedule as always, and they are young enough they don't know you are at home. You are an incredible Mom and are looking out for what is best! Oh, the days of laying around in college--that was pre-Mom, wife days....funny how much it changes, I would love to lay around and not worry about it too, when you figure out how, please, please let me know! How cool that the school dressed in pink, you are so loved! Well I think 2 more weeks to the house to be done, what a headache and a nightmare...all in one. It is all we do is work on it...I spend that time thinking and praying for you and your family! You rock Mo!
Love Rachel
