Mark and I met with our social worker and an 18 year old girl today who needs respite a couple times this summer. We liked her. She'll come here on Friday and leave on Sunday this week. She's going to be celebrating our 10th wedding anniversary with us. Not a real romantic evening, but she chose going out to dinner to a Chinese buffet. So that's where we're going!
I met with my psychiatrist today as well. He seems to think that I'm relatively normal, surprisingly! Still taking my Trazodone in the evenings and that's helping with sleep and anxiety. We talked politics mostly.
Today and tomorrow the woman running our Tastefully Simple party is offering a "match that sale" deal. Whoever spends the most in the next 48 hours will be able to purchase whatever they want, for whoever they want, at the same amount as they spent. Great deal!

Happy Father's Day
As I watched Mark with our little three-year-old visitor this weekend, I realized what a great Dad he is, could be, should be. It makes me sad that I couldn't give him a child. There's a reason we're doing this fundraiser to help us adopt, and if you know Mark at all, you know he would make and HAS made an amazing Father.
Happy Father's Day to both my Father and Mark's Father, both gone now but remembered. Tom, Mark's Dad was a great Dad to his kids and to me. I miss him every day. If wishes could come true, he'd be back here with us.
Here are the two fundraisers we are doing to help us adopt. If not for me, please consider giving and/or ordering....for Mark, on Father's Day. Every little bit DOES help. Please help.

Happy National Cancer Survivor's Day
Today is National Cancer Survivor's Day. Thanks for informing me, Noell Erwin Healy!
I have survived bladder cancer.
2010 pregnant at 42. Had ultrasound, found tumors in bladder, lost baby, stage (depending upon who you asked) 2 or 3 muscle invasive bladder cancer. Chemo of Gemzar and Cisplatin winter 2010/2011, bladder removal March 2011.
To make a long story even longer!
My hope is that there comes a day when there are more survivors than not. For now, I unfortunately know of more people who have not survived cancer. A little bit uneasy celebrating my survival when so many have not.
