Why? my blog title "Better2me"

As a woman, mother, and wife my first instinct is to take care of those around me. I nurture those I love in many ways through out the day, but sometimes find myself neglecting me. Recently I realized that I need to nurture myself as well. So this blog is about ME!!!!! What fills my heart; my simple life of kids, husband, animals, home, and creativity. For being better2me leads me to be better to those I love.

Second Chemo, a hard one.

 Second chemo went without a hitch, in fact none of the side effects, ie chills, that I had with the first round.  However, this one was much more fatiguing. The path was similar to the first one.  Day one, came home and slept a couple hours, day two, I felt pretty good, day three, I was exhausted.  

Day four, I, along with Judy and Karen, went to Shellys and she shaved my head. It was both hard and a relief.  My hair had been coming out, but then it was in handfuls.  I thought I might just get it cut really short, but Shelly said it would be very patchy and she was right as some areas are completely bald and others have hair.  

Afterward, Judy, Karen, and I went to Sandpoint where we did a little antique shopping, I bought some yarn, and we had lunch at the pie hut.  

It is 227 in the morning and I cannot sleep, although I am so very tired.  I just have to get through two more hard chemo and then I am hoping the 12 weekly ones are much easier.  

Also, Meagan sent me a "Fuck cancer" hat and a dish towel that says "Dear Karen you are the best chicken mom ever if we had a different mom, we would peck her in the legs and run to you, love, your flock."  

Susan Hournay sent me five antique plates of her grandmothers, they are beautiful!!!!!!!
