Today I started taking Tamoxifen for the first time! This is the pill that I will take once a day for the next five years. As I have learned from all of those breast cancer survivors before me that this is just one more of the treatments that helps ensure we are rid of this demon BUT it comes with its own fun side-effects... hot flashes, headaches, and other fun things. I do realize how lucky we are that there is so much known about this cancer that I am able to have all the treatments! I am just feeling like I will not have a time in life where I will feel "normal" again-- whatever that is!
It is Monday and I am feeling like I have the most energy I will have for the week. I am hoping to get more chores done tonight than I will get done the rest of the week. This house is like a never ending set of piles! We are changing out the girls clothes and I am trying to be as organized as possible but it seems to all look like a mess! It all should be done in a couple of days and be stored away but that does not seem to happen fast enough!
I will say I was so excited as I drove off to school this morning I saw one of the most beautiful things in nature-- a rainbow! It was in my rear view mirror and was absolutely gorgeous! I LOVE rainbows for their beauty but also because they are a great reminder of God's promise of LOVE! Work is stressful at times and this was a great way to begin the day for me so that the stress cannot get to me! The kids are great but the lack of contract is an absolute strain on us all! There is pressure coming from all over and the tension is so strong you can feel it in the air! I will be so relieved if we are able to get a fair contract!
Life is amazing to me and I will not let small things get me down! I am making the most of every moment as well as everyday God blesses me with!
