Max and Cannon are doing great at school. Max has the same teacher as last year and a great class. He doesn't like change so this transition back to school has been very easy for him (and us). Cannon's teachers tell me he's really focused which is shocking to me, but I'll take it! Brent is thrilled to not have to be the only one in the house getting up early in the morning.
I still get a little weepy at times. This morning I gave Max a hug and my eyes started welling and he said "you can just cry, it's ok." That kid is amazing. Cannon of course came and joined in the hugging session, I recovered and we all went back to breakfast. A new normal.
All of this is so much easier with the support of so many people around us. Cards of just checking in and saying hello show up once in a while, kind words of support, gifts for the kids, it's wonderful. They all get here at just the right time when we feel like we need a boost. Something that reminds us that others are thinking of us and sending their love. If we all told others how much we loved them more often wouldn't that be cool!?
I am trying to eat as healthy as possible while still maintaining some sanity. I ate a plateful of French fries last night, so there is the ocassional binge. The better I eat the less weepy, hot flash, etc I have.
October makes me nervous. Breast cancer awareness month. Pink everywhere. On one hand it's wonderful, money being donated, thoughtful people with pink gifts galore. On the other hand, a constant reminder when somedays I just want to forget and not be the girl with cancer. There's always a new normal. :)
