meredith's garden

i had my 2nd round of chemo today :) yay! 2 down, 2 to go... my stomach is bothering me, so i'm afraid i may have a touch of izzy's flu, which will only make my next few days even more entertaining, i'm sure.

my dad is taking the girls tomorrow, and my sister is coming over to teach me how to use her laptop, so i will get new pics up tomorrow...

i have to say, i have amazing friends and family. my mom took off of work on wednesday to hang out with my puking/pooping daughter. amy watched the poop monster yesterday. my sister and erik watched both girls today while i was at the hospital. what was supposed to go from 9:30am till around 1pm, ended up going till after 3pm. and none of them complained. they all got pooped on, and gave baths, and played and fed the kids, and no one complained about my messy house. they're unbelievable, and i love them all for it.

my wonderful friend julie made us dinner again on wednesday night- taco salad :) yum! and she and her little one made me bday cookies which the entire family has been enjoying. julie has said she's going to make us dinner every wednesday night while i go through this, and while i certainly won't hold her to it, it sure has been nice. it's one night kj doesn't have to come up with a plan and wash a bajillion dishes. and julie's a good cook, so it's yummy :)

my uncle tom sent me an amazing bouquet of flowers. pictures of that will come tomorrow, too. i've never had flowers delivered to me before (and i was sleeping when the last bouquet came) so i was quite tickled :) and they're gorgeous!

my aunt laurie and uncle larry sent me an amazingly generous check. i'm still working on processing that one... i can't even fathom how much everyone wants to help us. and i don't even know what else i can say about it. except thank you so very, very much- it will be a huge help. and the rest of you should keep your wallets closed!! this is a thank you to them- not a telethon announcement:)

one of my best friends, missy, has started a team in my honor to walk in the breast cancer walk on may 2nd on our lakefront. she has named her team Team Bon Jovi. HA!! this is why i love her :) i will post a link to her site as soon as i figure out how...

so to all of you out there, i love you and i appreciate you, and you are wonderful :) thank you!!
