Today was Holly’s first Futsal (indoor soccer) match. Unbeknownst to Jill, the team parents and coach decided to have pink jerseys made for the team for the futsal season. Many parents also bought these pink shirts. Jill was really surprised and the gesture meant so much to her and all of us.
Thanks team!!!
Some magic elfs came over on Friday and cleaned out bathroom. How awesome is that? Looks great.
Jill is feeling fairly well. In fact, she basically was active all day today with no nap. No new news to report on her cancer, treatment, etc. Tomorrow we meet with the geneticist. We will have an update after that. We have a somewhat busy weekend ahead of us – but so many people are helping out with transporting kids that Jill should be able to rest and I should be able to get some stuff done around the house. I have more cleanup and organization I want to do. I have shelves, some bins (in, out, to be paid, to shred, etc), and a scanner (to scan documents, kids schoolwork, and so on to reduce clutter). And somewhat of a plan. I have taken over our on-line bill pay efforts as well.
One huge upside of this process is how it gives one a bit more clarity as far as what is important and essential. I am currently reading some books on the topic, along with internet research, and have started to try to pin down my personal core values. Here is my blog (yeah, I have a blog too) post on the topic http://www.golightly.us/?p=22
Today Jill overcame her fears and doubts and went to work sans hair. I am not sure if she ended up wearing a wrap or a hat (I left before her), but she went. She went and worked. Yeah Jill! She put in a decent amount of hours and then came home and took a nap. She is doing well tonight – currently playing board games with the girls.
Those around us keep giving us so much love and support. Meals, driving the kids, etc – they all help so much
