It's time for Graduation!!

Jillian had her big Pre-K graduation last night. She has been so excited about this for weeks...I think she was more excited about this than Christmas. Last weekend she told me she wanted cards and money for her graduation gift....

The school had each class do graduation separately which was so nice to have it focused on a small group. They performed several songs that highlighted the different things they learned throughout the year. They even had "real" graduation" hats for them to wear. Jillian loved every minute of it! She was in the front row and you could hear her singing louder than anyone else with that big grin on her face. They had a little reception afterwards and then she wanted us to go out to dinner to "celebrate". Wow, I can only imagine what she will expect for high school graduation!! Hopefully I will get Bret to post some pics soon.

We have more graduations to celebrate over the next month. We will celebrate with Lindsay Calvert this weekend. Our neighbor and one of Jillian's favorite babysitters, Jessie Fears, graduated from Kings as their Salutatorian...Yeah Jess! Next month we will be in Vermilion to celebrate with my nephew Eric...it's a fun time of year!
Tyler is counting down his last 3 days of school and looking forward to summer. Right now he has a mowing job one day a week and a babysitting job one afternoon a week so he is happy to be earning some money to buy more x-box games....

I had another Herceptin treatment yesterday. Things were a mess at their office....I like to go on Wednesdays because there is usually very few patients there. Yesterday we were packed in like sardines....they didn't even have enough "comfy" chairs for all of us. I was really looking forward to a nice long nap but that was not meant to be....some of the patients wanted to talk all about their cancer and their treatments....the poor old guy next to me can't hear so any time the nurse needed to tell him something she had to yell...then his daughter would come in every fifteen minutes and ask him if he wanted a sandwich. At one point things did quiet down but then he decided to eat a granola bar and the old lady on the other side of me asked for a bag of chips so the "crunchfest" began!!! (not sure why but treatment centers always have lots of snacks and drinks available to their patients for free...) I never did get to nap so I went back to work in a benadryl haze but made it through the day. Right before treatment they noticed that I had a slight fever but I felt fine except for just being tired. In the middle of the night last night I started having some pretty nasty stomach issues...not sure if it has to do with treatment or just a bug but I am staying close to home today.

I have still been very tired...maybe the tamoxifen is making it worse but I can just barely make it through the work day and I come home and want to go straight to bed....it is really starting to frustrate me. I have not been exercising at all and I know that probably doesn't help..I have noticed that I am losing some mobility in my left shoulder so I am trying to take a few minutes a couple times a day to stretch that area. The surgeon had warned me about this and I think I didn't have any problems until I stopped walking and it started to tighten up.....I just feel very old!!!
