Holy smoke I'm tired...

Wow.. today's sub job was busy.. I swear every kid in my 4 classes had to go to the bathroom.. it was an emergency.. and if not, they needed to get something from their locker.. and if not that they needed to go to the nurse.. I could write a cute book of excuses to sub teachers and I bet people would buy it for laughter.. then I had cheer practice.. I'm tired.. Bet I get a good nights sleep tonight.. well I hope so.. I sub again tomorrow but in Life Skills children with severe disabilities.. only 4 of them. I think they have a hard time getting subs for that class.. I'm kinda attracted to those kiddos..
So Darby shipped but I won't get him till Tues. (bummer) I'm praying for you all who may be in the line of the hurricane.. things will be fine.. again, you are welcome to come to see me. I love company. Take care.. I'll talk to you guys tomorrow. Love Debbie

Let's Have A Hurricane Party!!

Friends.. you are welcome at the Sallee house anytime.. come on down. We have 30 acres, bring yer campers or we'll make room. I'm serious.. me casa is su casa.. (think that's how you say it) I'm subbing today.. 5th graders.. uh.. what was I thinking.. no.. really not to bad.. I got a good nights sleep last night.. felt reeeeeeaaaallllyyyy good.. I'm gonna write back tonight.. the kiddos are asking 100 questions to keep from doing their work or to get the answers.. :-) talk to you soon.

Sorry I'm Late

Well good morning.. been a fast paced morning.. I'll be subbing the next 2 days so I decided to visit and see where I'll be going.. I'm getting ready to finalize the details with DARBY.. I hope.. I hope to get him before the weekend.. so i can stand around in the mirror and look at and entertain myself.. :-) (ya'll know I will be) curt said i'll probably be sitting on the couch in it.. he could be right.. one thing you gotta know.. this is a large costume.. no High School Mascot.. this is the for real deal.. we have a lot of events coming up in the near future that I see myself going to.. gotta get in it and practice.. :-) I've never been good at patience.. (haha) glad fall is around the corner.. that will help keep me cool. So Chey's school is going good, she loves it. We're a little crowded in the house right now.. our nephew is staying with us while grandma (mother-in-law) is in Colorado for 3 weeks.. (something wrong with that picture) but we are doing ok.. he needs us.. he needs structure and he needs a true family.. but let me tell ya .. that 16 year old boy can EAT.. so I hope all of you are doing good. I hope I'm not boring you with my day to day.. it's better than the alternative.. ya know.. but keep praying for me.. it keeps me positive and believing. Love to you all. Debbie

Hi..

So I went to bed around 10pm.. went right to sleep only to be up wide awake at 2.. 4 hours is usually all I can get at night.. got up.. took a bath and was able to get back to sleep for a while.. I really don't know what keeps me awake at night.. I'm really not worrying about anything.. my head is busy.. but that's always been normal for me. I do get frustrated that I don't have the strength and endurance I use to.. but ya know I do expect miracles.. I just realized I'm only 5 months out from when I had surgery.. and only a little over a month from my last radiation.. guess I need to remind myself that every once in a while.. well.. every day.. cuz that's how often I "overdo" it.. so that's me putting a positive spin on my health.. :-) If you guys have any suggestons on sleep aids I'd love to hear them.. Thanks for checking in.. I'll get back to ya soon.

It's a new week..

Hope you all had a great weekend.. My cheerleaders looked good at their first game.. we still need work but they had fun. I was exhausted after the game.. took a little more out of me than I expected. Curt and I went out for drinks at a little local club Friday night.. long overdue for a little time together.. we had a really good time. Oh, did I mention it was Karaoke night. :-) yes, we both belted out a couple of songs.. good thing is there couldn't have been more than about 30 people there.. Confession time. I was suppose to go today (Mon.) for an ENG with the new nerve Dr. .. decided not to.. I figure if I'm gonna be off from the Cancer Dr. I should be off from all Dr.'s. Besides, we know the nerves are dead and can't be repaird.. so why do I need to be poked and prodded a second time..?? and that crap hurts. Got a lot going this week.. having lunch with an old friend.. I'll be subbing a couple of days and a to do list a mile long.. But biggest of all.. DARBY should be shipping this week. :-) He'll be like a new child into the family.. does that make me Bipolar? Ya'll don't be calling Rusk State Hospital just yet.. (haha) So, I'm in good spirits.. feeling pretty good.. my goal this week is to get on my meds regularly.. I'm so hit and miss and I know that isn't good. However, I'm still not going to start on the Effexor.. thanks to all who shared about the Effexor.. it helped me feel that the choice I've made is the right one. So I'll go for now. Take care and I'll talk to you soon. Love Deb

Deb's Hodgepodge Brain

Where did this week go..?? You know if you opened my brain, you would get dizzy from all the things flowing through it.. you should see me fighting with myself to decide what topic I want to talk about with you guys.. So I'm gonna throw my hodgepodge out there and you can pick what to reply to. :-)
Medicine - my cancer dr prescribed an anti-depressent for me to work for me for my hot flashes. I'm nervous about taking it.. addiction (says none) i've heard they are hard to get off of.. they can make you gain or lose weight.. he said he prefers this over hormones because they don't work well with Cancer.. dunno.. still haven't started taking them.. it's called Effexor. I've looked on the internet.. sounds ok.. just can't make myself do it.. whadaido?
Favorite commercial.. just saw a commercial that is so me and curt it's for Bridgestone.. where the guy makes his truck a helmet.. if you haven't seen it.. watch for it.. crack me up. oh and did i tell you me, curt and Chey have the I SAID A BEEF HOT LINK .. commercial memorized.. I love it.. you see this one a lot on Football days.. you can also see it on youtube.. so us..
I don't know why, but this last week I've signed up on Am. Cancer Society website, and found a website with some of the coolest cancer t-shirts.. it's like i told curt.. am i just now accepting that i have cancer.. maybe a new phase.. not sure.. they have some great sayings on the shirts.. one says - my cancer is rarer than your cancer.. another says I'm "radiant".. or if I have one more MRI i'll stick to the fridge.. intersting phase i think.. I'm feeling ok.. frequent back pain. sometimes i wonder ... is that cancer.. maybe another phase.. since i'm off for 2 months.. but all in all.. i'm thankful.. so there.. a little hodgepodge from the brain of Debbie.. and if you think that's it... your wrong.. but I could go on forever.. (cheerleading, school, Darby, working, stuff to do around the house, family.. you'd be scared to be in this brain.. Now.. get back to work.. :-) I'll talk to you soon. pick a subject to write me about.. :-) love ya'll.. Deb

Lunch, Backpack, and dresses oh my..

First Day of School for Chey... Here we go.. :-) without saying.. i think she's a little nervous. woke up last night throwing up and having an upset stomach.. I know she's excited.. just first day jitters. I'm making to do list for me.. kinda excited myself about having a little free time. I signed up last night on American Cancer Society website.. saw a chat for rare cancers.. i threw my type cancer out there hoping to hear from someone.. we'll see. I've realized after my last Dr. appt. I'm still effected by his last words.. I said.. "so I'm safe for 2 months" and he said "nothing in life is safe" get out there and live.. hummm. Curt's the same way, but said maybe it's his way of talking to cancer patients since he does it every day. I'm not dwelling on it.. but .. Anyway.. I'm excited about Darby and getting him a visitation schedule together.. :-) so that's where i'm gonna focus my efforts.. I'm hoping i get him this week.. gotta run.. get Chey off to school. You guys have a great day. I'll holler at ya'll soon. Love Debbie
