Whoops!

I am so sorry I have not posted in so long!  I have many excuses (mostly centered around having four kids, not feeling super-energetic, and the like), but really what good are excuses?  No good.  So, I will just say I am sorry and add that all is well.

To give you a very general update, I felt somewhat lousy last Friday (it's my worst day - the Friday after the Thursday chemo).  Then Matt left to go hunting over the weekend and I was super-crabby.  And, my mother always told me that if you don't have something good to say, don't say it all.  Actually, maybe that was my father???  Regardless, I didn't have much good to say this weekend, other than I was extremely grateful to my mother-in-law, Linda, for taking the girls for the weekend.  And, to my sister, J.J. for taking the boys for a few hours Saturday morning and Declan for most of the afternoon as well - and for taking Declan for a few hours on Sunday, too.  And to Heather Schwar and her girls, Julia and Katie, for coming to entertain Hugo for several hours Saturday evening!  And, to my dad, Bill, for getting Declan to a birthday party on Sunday.  These things helped big-time. 

I wanted Matt to go and have fun with his Dad and brother and cousins and uncles, but on the Saturday after chemo I am still not feeling quite right (very dizzy), and I was feeling a bit abandoned.  The boys are just so in-your-face, and that does not mix well with dizziness.  I really only had them by myself for like a total of 10 hours this weekend, but boy, they weren't easy during those hours.  I am so blessed that so many people helped during those other hours!  Thank you, thank you, thank you!

And now, if it's okay with you, I will do some "back-posting"  I will pretend I actually posted last week and finish the updates I should have done back then.  If you scroll down, you should be able to see those posts soon.

Thank you!!!!
