No news of the medical front... I am going to have Herceptin next Friday (2/3) and then I will see Dr. Jason at 8 am on Saturday morning to see what he thinks is causing all this mucus.  I am actually finding that the hot-flashes and dizzy spells have increased and taken the place of the cough.  These are coming from the Tamoxifen and the early menopause it has created.  I am lucky to be so young which makes all these things worse.  My hormones are battling back and I am not sure which is winning this war in my body!

Life update:
We have the cleaning ladies coming tomorrow.  This was such a wonderful gift given to us by Keith's aunt and uncle last Christmas!  My friend, Beth used to tell me that it was worth every sacrifice made to have the help of a cleaning lady... I get it now!!  I am running around cleaning before the cleaning lady gets here tomorrow.  BUT it has forced us to declutter most of the house and keep things neat during the two weeks in between cleanings.  With help from my parents we are going to keep this going because it reduces so much stress off my shoulders and gives us more time to spend enjoying life as a family!  Thanks to all!!

The girls are keeping me on my toes!  Life is good but crazy and I love it!!!

I have had a sad thing occur:  my favorite store in Libertyville will be closing its doors on Saturday.  "The Present Moment" will be no more and I will miss it!  This store is owned by a parent of one of my former students who I have been blessed to stay in touch with all these years.  This store was a place I would go for meaningful gifts for friends and family.  I would also go there when something big happened in life to help make it easier such as having a cancer diagnosis, losing a loved one, or just needed a pick me up spiritually.  I am so thankful to have had this in my life!  Good luck Sue and Lauren!
