I LOVE this idea!! I was given a no-sew blanket by my best friend when I was first diagnosed and I use it daily. When I was going through chemotherapy I took the blanket with me and it brought me so much comfort :) If a blanket can bring such joy to an adult imagine how much it will bring to a child!!<br />
<br />
If your interested in making some blankets to donate please check out Amy's site <a href="http://snowbearblankets.blogspot.com/">http://snowbearblankets.blogspot.com/</a><br />

I was
set on getting back into writing regularly, going to the gym after I
took the kids to school and deep cleaning the house. Did any of that
happen? Nope. I have a tumor in my left leg. Up in my thigh right where
the thigh and butt meet. It started hurting like hell. It was so bad
that I couldn't walk. I was stuck in bed for about a month :( Then I
ended up having to have surgery on September 27th. I had a small bowel
resection and 7 tumors were removed from my intestines. I was in the
hospital for 5 days. I know have a lovely zipper looking scar going down
my belly. After surgery my leg hurt so much worse. I was still stuck in
bed/laying down even after I was recovered from the surgery. I went
back to see my regular oncologist because I was taken off the trial drug
because my last CT Scan showed that the cancer grew a little bit. So
because of surgery I haven't been on any cancer treatment since the
beginning of September. I have bumps and lumps popping up all over. One
in my right thigh (this one does not hurt like the left one though,
thank God), one on my pubic area, one by my right elbow and one by my
right shoulder. You can feel all off them. The only one you can see is
the one in my pubic area. I had another surgery on October 29th. They
removed the tumor in my left leg to hopefully relieve my pain. I *think*
it worked. I don't want to say just yet because it is still pretty sore
from surgery. This one was outpatient, we were home by noon :) I go see
my oncologist on the 9th so I should be starting some treatment then or
shortly after that day. Thank God!!!<br />
<br />
The boys are good. Nathan is 7 and in 2nd grade. He is really good at
reading...when HE wants to. I wish he loved reading as much as I do.
Hopefully he'll end up loving it. Colin is 5 and in kindergarten. He is
so smart and such a ham. He's guaranteed to make you laugh multiple
times a day!! <br />
<br />
Nick and I are good. He has been so great about doing stuff around the
house that I haven't been able to do. I have felt so bad that he works
all day and would have to come home and do everything. I know that there
was nothing I could do about it but I still felt bad, ya know? Yesterday
was the first time I made dinner in probably 2 months or so. I'm so glad
I'm starting to feel good enough to do all the household chores again!!<br />
<br />
Have a good weekend!! Kellyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11895383136725132213noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2323127590771310124.post-7484123663642953522012-10-11T19:53:00.001-04:002012-10-11T19:53:54.903-04:00Its Ok Thursday<div style="text-align: center;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Its Ok...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
...that I am bored out of my mind. Being stuck laying in bed recovering from surgery is no fun anymore! Especially since I was stuck in bed because of my leg for 3 weeks before I even had surgery. I'm so sick of tv, the internet and reading at the moment!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
...that since my surgery I hardly have an appetite at all. I have not been able to finish one meal since I've been home. That is unheard of for me. I'm looking forward to seeing what my weight is when I go to the doctor on Monday :)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
...that I have not worn my contacts in 3 weeks.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
...that I got 4 new books before surgery and have only read 1 so far.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
...to love that fall is here but be bummed that I'm cooped up inside and not able to enjoy it right now.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
...that I have the best friends in the world. My BFF who lives in AZ arraigned for John Wharton (the old trainer for the Detroit Red Wings who we job shadowed when we were in HS) to visit me when I was in the hospital. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

...to get crazy cravings for stuff then be satisfied after 2-3 bites.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">Long time no blog huh? The lap top was in the shop for about a week or so getting fixed then after I had it back I felt horrible. I'm back now and hopefully with the kids starting school next week I can get into a regular routine blogging wise. Cross your fingers yo!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I actually got to go out this past weekend. The boys ended up spending the night at my parents house after my niece's birthday party so mama went buck wild!! Nick and I went to Olive Garden for dinner. Never ending pasta, yum! I swore up an down that I'd make it to 2 plates. I even stayed away from the bread sticks and only had a <span style="font-size: xx-small;">little</span> bit of salad but I still could only eat half of the first plate! Oh well it was good :)</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">After we left OG Nick said he wanted to go out. So we ended up at the bar with Brett. We had a blast. I ended up so drunk and I was ordering my drinks from the male bartender by telling him to give me more sex!!! I was a hot mess, lol!! I was texting, tweeting and facebooking and you could not read what I was writing. Oh well I had fun and I never go out so it was well deserved!! :)</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I'm excited for this weekend. Friday we are going to Cedar Point. I haven't been there in 12 years. We're taking my cousin Hayley with us. Then Sunday we are headed back to Sandusky, OH to go to Kalahari waterpark. We got an awesome deal on <a href="http://www.livingsocial.com/deals/427206-family-water-park-resort?rui=3480311&ref=tw_share">Livingsocial</a> for $159. We couldn't pass that up =) We get 6 passes so we asked my brother if him and my niece want to go. If he can't make it we'll ask Blake and Hayley.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Well I'm off. Gotta head out and get some last minute back to school supplies!! </div><div style="text-align: center;">Happy Tuesday!!</div>Kellyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11895383136725132213noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2323127590771310124.post-19219603099691682262012-08-21T11:12:00.002-04:002012-08-21T11:12:46.206-04:00<a href="http://www.bloglovin.com/blog/3972086/?claim=ec72acc23t3">Follow my blog with Bloglovin</a>Kellyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11895383136725132213noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2323127590771310124.post-64932326894557410342012-08-07T12:01:00.000-04:002012-08-07T12:01:11.699-04:00Blog Star: Hi!

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">HELLO!!!!! =D</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I took an unexpected break from this little old blog of mine. I wish I could say I was on some spur of the moment exotic vacation but I was laid up in bed feeling like death ran over :/ For about 3 weeks I literally could not get out of bed. I was so tired. All I did was sleep and vomit. Nice huh? Come to find out (after some bloodwork) my hemoglobin was very low. I had to have a blood transfusion. Thankfully it worked and I started to feel MUCH better :) I am taking my treatment pills now so I still feel crappy but at least I don't have to be in bed all day long. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I also had to have a procedure done about 2 weeks ago. It was called the Gamma Knife and rays of radiation were aimed into my head at the tumor. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcZj6AHTEtFYwknMwimed9Ct6OazGN36oFVk0FgvSenH5UXD0WrOP_pLqOmA-ranUazRTtGmZF-ZJaFnKLM0B3aJKaOoBcvejSmqHAuHT2B0z2HpNzjU_2OZis4-qHRLncxXRDlN5Rq4I/s1600/gammaknife.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcZj6AHTEtFYwknMwimed9Ct6OazGN36oFVk0FgvSenH5UXD0WrOP_pLqOmA-ranUazRTtGmZF-ZJaFnKLM0B3aJKaOoBcvejSmqHAuHT2B0z2HpNzjU_2OZis4-qHRLncxXRDlN5Rq4I/s320/gammaknife.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />

It wasn't as bad as I thought. They gave me some good drugs because I don't remember them putting it on at all. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I saw the doctor yesterday to see how it went and it worked! The spot they were working on, they weren't positive that it was melanoma or another glioma. Now they believe that it is melanoma because of how big it grew in a matter of weeks. Well it is now only about 1/2 inch!! They said it usually takes longer to see results from the gamma knife so hopefully when I go for my next check up in 2 months it will be gone!!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">In other news the kids are good. Nathan turned 7 on June 25th. He picked 1 friend to go to Chuck E Cheese with us. That was fun. Colin will be 5 on August 2nd. We're doing their birthday party on the 5th of August and then we'll do something for Colin for his birthday with us and he can pick 1 friend to come too. Depending on what he picks we'll do it on his actual bday or wait till Nick's day off. He's saying he was CEC so we could do that after Nick gets home from work. We'll see :)</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

I was able to work with the fabulous company Sunglass Warehouse. I have a sunglass problem according to my husband. He thinks one pair is plenty and I think the more variety the better! My glove compartment in my car can attest to that. Hubby opened it the other day and at least 10 pairs of sunglasses were in there. In my defense they were a mix of mine and the kids so it wasn't that bad.<br />
<br />
I choose to review SW Rhinestone Style #1976 in purple.<br />

<br />
<div style="padding-bottom: 7px;"></div><div style="padding-bottom: 7px;">I LOVE these sunglasses! They are my favorite color and they are blinged out. The more sparkle the better in my book! I have been wearing these non-stop since I got them and I get compliments on them nearly every time I go out.<br />
<br />
They get a huge thumbs up from me and I'll definitely be back to add to my collection!! </div><div style="padding-bottom: 7px;"><br />
</div><div style="padding-bottom: 7px;">Sunglass Warehouse has a huge variety to choose from. Women's sunglasses, men's sunglasses, and kid's sunglasses.

Katie is one of my bloggy buddies who I have been reading nearly as long as I've been blogging. She is a sweetheart and she has a business making homemade jewelry (among other things). You can check her out on her <a href="http://www.facebook.com/Katiebugscustomcreations">Facebook page. </a><br />
<br />
Katie is letting me do a giveaway :) You can win a beautiful initial necklace with a bead. She has lots of different colors to choose from. I'm going to end up getting this one pictured for myself as soon as I have some extra cash :)<br />

Dear Everyone: May is Melanoma/Skin Cancer Awareness month. Please please please be safe while your out in the sun! <b>Generously apply sunscreen to all exposed skin</b>—even on cloudy days—year-round. Be sure to use a sunscreen that provides broad-spectrum protection from
both UVA and UVB rays and has a sun protection factor (SPF) of at least
30. <b>Wear protective clothing</b>, such as a long-sleeved shirt, pants, a wide-brimmed hat and sunglasses, when possible.<b>Seek shade</b> when appropriate, remembering that the sun’s rays are the strongest between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m.<b> Use extra caution near water, snow and sand</b>, as they reflect the damaging rays of the sun, which can increase your chance of sunburn. <b>Avoid intentional tanning and indoor tanning beds</b>.
Current research indicates there is no way to get a tan through
ultraviolet exposure without increasing the risk for skin cancer. {these facts came from <a href="http://www.melanoma.org/">www.melanoma.org</a>, check them out for even more info!}<br />
<br />
Dear Mother Nature: What gives?? It was insanely hot yesterday. It felt
like the middle of summer it was so nasty. It's only May so please bring
the temps down about 15 degrees or so. Thanks!<br />
<br />
Dear Husband: One month till our belated anniversary getaway. I am so excited!! Love you!!<br />
<br />
Dear Little Snot Faced Teenage Girls That Bully My Beautiful Cousin: One day (hopefully) you'll realize how horrible it was that you picked on someone over the scars they have on their gorgeous face from a vicious dog attack that happened when they we little. I can't believe you don't know any better and you treat someone that way. I know my cousin is beautiful, funny and just plain amazing. Get over your jealousy you <strike>big</strike> little bishes!! <br />
<br />
Dear Sweet Children of Mine: Would it really be too much to ask that you get along? Do you really need to argue over everything?<br />
<br />
Dear Pepsi: Why must you be soooo good?<br />
<br />
Dear Blog Readers: Be on the lookout for my upcoming review & giveaway from Sunglass Warehouse :) I got my sunglasses yesterday and I love them!! <br />
<br />
Dear You: What you want to help save lives and fight cancer? You want to know how you can make a donation to Relay for Life? Go <a href="http://main.acsevents.org/site/TR?px=16090291&pg=personal&fr_id=38363">HERE</a> to make a donation. I'll love you forever if you do =)<br />

Hello =)) I have some awesome news!! I got my Ct Scan & MRI results this past Thursday and <b><span style="font-size: x-large;">my cancer has shrunk by 10%!!!!!!! =)))</span></b> I am so happy & excited about that obviously!! The brain MRI showed that the glioma has not gotten any bigger. I saw the neuro oncologist Monday and he said since there was no growth we'll do another MRI and follow up in 2 months. No need in having major surgery that will result in life changing consequences if there is no immediate need. Works for me!!<br />
<br />
Friday night me, my mom, 2 aunts and cousin went downtown Detroit to Greektown. It was supposed to be a RFL fundraiser. A bus trip to the casino. It ended up getting cancelled because not enough tickets sold. We decided to still go anyways. It was fun. We ended up having to pay $30 to park :/ All because there was a Tiger game. It would have been free otherwise. Oh well. We had fun. I won $60. Woot woot!!<br />
<br />
Saturday was opening day for baseball. It was soooo cold :/ The parade was at 9am and then Nathan's game was at 2pm. After opening ceremonies I took the fam out to breakfast with my winnings :) Then we went home to relax and finish packing up the boys. They were going on an all boy camping trip after the game with Brett and his son. Nathan had a great game. He has improved so much since last year :) He was 3 for 3 and did not have to use the tee at all :) Last year he used the tee more often than not. I was a proud baseball mama :)<br />
<br />
The boys left after we got home and I fell asleep on the couch for a few hours. I woke up and didn't feel so great. I went and got some mexican for dinner and came back home and chilled. I felt horrible and fell asleep again.<br />
<br />
Sunday I woke up with a nasty cold :( Plus the nasty feeling I get from treatment were starting to kick in too. The boys got home around 1pm or so and we just relaxed. Nick made the kids dinner and took them for ice cream.<br />
<br />
Monday I woke up feeling better. After I took Nathan to school Colin and I went to my aunt's house to work on painting the rainbow sign for our RFL tent. It turned out so cute. No pics yet because it's not all put together yet. I took Colin to school then I had my mom go to the doctor with me.<br />

<br />
I have accumulated quite the little collection of scarves since I started blogging. Summer is coming up and I have no plans to stop wearing them :) Good thing there is Scarves Dot Net!! They have an amazing selection of summer scarves. You don't have to worry about getting too hot and sweaty with all the cotton, linen and silk scarves you have to choose from. Of course they have colors and patterns for everyone. From animal print [my personal fave] to floral to plain solid colors, there is a scarf for all tastes and styles.<br />
<br />
If it's still a bit chilly in your neck of the woods then you can snatch up a pashmina. Those are my go to picks when I want to be cozy, warm and cute :) A pashmina was the first type of scarf I used as an accessory so they'll always hold a special place in my heart :)<br />
<br />
You'll fall in love with Scarves Dot Net once you check them out. They have a 100% money back guarantee. They offer free shipping on orders over $40 and the shipping time is AMAZING!! The fastest I have ever seen when ordering something online. What's not to love?? <br />

I reviewed the Teresa Leopard Scarf in purple. I <b>LOVE</b> it!!<br />
<br />
With a wider width than most scarves, our Teresa Leopard Scarf is great to wear as a summer shawl, or drape around your neck to add pizazz to any sundress or tee. The Teresa is made of a lightweight cotton blend and has a crinkled texture. An allover leopard print makes the Teresa one sassy scarf! Enjoy this leopard print scarf, as seen in the March issue of <span style="font-style: italic;">Redbook</span> magazine. <br />
<br />
<ul><li>60% Viscose, 40% Cotton</li>
<li>68" L x 43.5" W<br />

Things have been a bit um shall we say crazy?? Family drama at it's best. I can't really get into it right now but I will one day when I'm feeling a bit better. </center><center> </center><center>Speaking of feeling better. Will that day ever come?? I feel like shit and it sucks!! I know it could be worse but dang can't I catch a little break? :/ The side effects kicked in last night. Ugh I swear the cramps were so bad I was crying it hurt so bad. I go for more scans in 3 weeks so hopefully there will be more shrinkage! That always cheers me up!</center><center> </center><center>Friday night Nick and I went to the gun range and I shot a gun for the first time ever!! It was fun. I was so nervous though. I shot a 9mm pistol. I was shaking so bad but it was still fun to do. I'd do it again. Next payday he wants to take me downtown to a restaurant we saw on Triple D called <a href="http://www.trafficjamdetroit.com/">Traffic Jam and Snug</a>. It looked yummy on tv so we will see :) We are also planning on going to <a href="http://www.belameresuites.com/">Belamere Suites</a> for our anniversary. Our anniversary is May 7th but we more than likely won't be going till the end of May. We have to work around my treatment schedule plus I will be so busy with Relay, which is the 12th-13th. I'm defiantly looking forward to getting away and relaxing. Maybe I can have a blate while we are in Ohio with Jayme and her husband. Whatcha think girl?</center><center><br />
</center><center>T-ball starts tonight. Nathan is so excited :) He has the same coach as last year. I am not doing team mom this year. There was no way I could manage that again. Not with being on the Relay committee and with treatment kicking my butt. It just wasn't happening.</center><center> </center><center>Nick went up north over the weekend for a hunting dinner/raffle with my uncle so we had a play date with my BFF and her son. It was a blast =) </center><center><br />

Nick's cousin passed away so the funeral was last Thursday. She was only 40. She was sick with pneumonia. They don't know if that's what caused her death or not. Whatever it was it's sad :( My SIL came into town for a few days and she stayed with us so that was nice to see her. We haven't seen her in almost 7 years. She came to MI for a few days when Nathan was born. He was very sad to see her go :( We plan on flying our niece up her for a week or so in the summer. She has 3 kids but Ariel is having lots of issues with her parents being divorced and some other things on top of normal teenage girls issues (she'll be 13 at the end of June). I remember when I was her age I went to visit my aunt, uncle & cousins in TX for a week and had a blast =))</center><center><br />
</center><center>Nathan was sick last week. He missed 3 days of school. He had a really bad cough and just felt blah :( Now I'm sick. I have a sore throat, body aches, a headache and I'm throwing up. </center><center><br />
</center><center>I did get good news last week though!! The brain MRI I had last Monday came back and showed that the tumor they believe to be melanoma is <span style="color: #134f5c; font-size: x-large;"><b>shrinking!!!!!</b></span> <span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: large;"><b>YES YES YES!!!!! </b></span></center><center><br />
</center><center>Alright ladies I'm out, I just had to let ya'll know I'm still around. Hopefully I'll be back to normal ASAP!! =)</center><center><br />
