Waaa Bam

New year.. new changes to the page.. I don't really have a lot of options to choose from.. but this one seemed happy and colorful.. hope you like it. My columns changed a little but .. change is good.. right? This year I've noticed a few changes in me... wanting to let my hair grow out a bit.. wearing a little bit different style of clothes.. some with color (I have a lot of black) and of course set out on any and all adventures possible. Weird though.. I'm about 90/10.. 90% go all out.. 10% skeptism and worry about those little aches and pains in the pelvic area and whats going on in this body of mine. Pretty good percentage don't ya think. I hope you guys don't get board with me just writing about my typical days.. I think for you guys that come here .. we all know what lies at the heart of this and to read about the good days is a nice twist. Hope you all have a great day. Hey.. high five someone today that doesn't expect it.. it's really fun. See ya soon. Deb

Hi.

Hey there... Oh my gosh I've let the time get away from me.. I'm doing good.. haven't fell off the face of the earth. Of course staying busy, man it feels good to check things off your list each day. Last night worked out good.. Chey's cheer practice was cancelled and we had a little family time. And of course that is always good. We worked with Chey on her tumbling a little bit.. and I did a roundoff.. :-) wooo whoo.. I need to start exercising a little bit. (need to a lot, but I won't push it) :-) So I'm in good spirits, living good, and having fun.. got another birthday coming soon.. 40 was good.. but I'm gonna make 41 even better. Gonna run for now.. gotta pick Chey up from school. I'm gonna sub tomorrow again but I'll be checking in. Thanks for stopping by. Deb

Happy Friday

I'm ready for this weekend.. just took Chey to the Dr. for strep (again) the Dr. laughed when I asked is she a carrier for strep.. but omg.. we get this several... more than several times a year.. and here we are in the first week of Jan. she cried because she couldn't go to school and that she always gets strep.. it told her it could be worse she could have vomiting or poopies.. :-) so no traveling this weekend.. woo hoo.. remember it's a new year.. make every moment count !! Have a great weekend. Love Deb

The Interview I've been waiting for.. Patrick Swayze

Oh my gosh.. sittin here with my puffy eyes and red nose, after watching Patrick and his wife. What a great interview.. he said so many things that I feel.. about fighting, not giving up, and staying so busy you don't give your mind or your body time to think about it. AND he felt the same as I did about trying all the remedies and cancer diets that say they can cure cancer, basically chasing everything and missing out on the important things in life.. as far as his smoking.. think I would have quit knowing that could have caused it.. but for me, my bad habit is eating.. my mindset is that cancer eats at you making you lose weight and become unhealthy and sick.. well by gosh I'm gonna give it plenty to eat on.. (haha) Oh.. Oh.. and the same motto "get busy living or get busy dying" right on brother!! during the interview I was crying like a baby but in the same catch my breath moments.. I was saying right on man.. one thing he has felt that I haven't is anger.. don't know why... Curt has though.. Well, I tried to link his story to my page but having a little trouble. check it out at http://www.abcnews.go.com/ I also felt the need, since I get new readers every now and then, to put THE LAST LECTURE back up to the top of the page for you guys to see what and who inspired me to start this blog and be on the path and living the life that I'm living.. As Patrick said, he's amazed and inspired by the people that surround him with support and love.. I may not be a movie star but I feel like my support team (all of you) matches up to his and maybe even more. Thank you. I love you. Debbie.

First week of the new year..

Subbing again today. Well, head start.. 4 yr. olds. I now remember why I stopped at one.. haha..
I told myself the first of the year I would stay home, get organized and get my new plans started.. and here I am subbing this week.. all but Friday. Honestly, I think it's the interaction with the staff here at the school.. they are a fun group of ladies who I enjoy being around.

I had another inspiring story from a friend last night.. a relative of theirs found out she had cancer, and our freind referred them to my blog.. hoping to help them cope. I'm thrilled that I can give others a place to go and read about someone else who's dealing with some of the same issues. Another goal this year, get people together here locally so we can visit and talk if we want to or just play games :-). I tell you, there is a special bond when you talk with someone who has cancer with you.. like a blood brother or sister you've never known. Sorry for rambling, kids are down for a nap. :-) I'll check back in tomorrow. Have a great day. Debbie

Adult interaction

So today I'm subbing at the Intermediate school.. little adult interaction.. and well, students too. :-) I have a tendancy to get caught in front of the computer all day and get nothing else done.. so getting out of the house feels a little productive too.. glad to year from some of you guys that you had a good Christmas and New Year.. I saw a commercial on a Barbara Walters special coming on Wed. I think, where Patrick Swayze talks about his battle with cancer and why he continues to push and stay busy daily.. I can't wait to see it.. sounds a lot like me. Maybe I am normal. (HA) !!.. talk to you soon.

Happy 2009

Hope you all had a wonderful end to 2008. We've been on the road for the last bit of ours with our family and it has been wonderful. I'll tell you in April of last year I would have thought we'd have been in a little darker place at this time. I'm so thankful we have been blessed with time and health. :-) If you were in my brain you'd be getting dizzy right now with all the wheels that are spinning.. One things for sure.. figure out and on god's plan for me here.. :-) It's gotta be big... he just had to hit me over the head last year for me to listen. As your setting your new years goals.. remember to slow down and listen to that little voice in your head or on your shoulder.. don't wait to get hit on the head like me. :-) Love and blessings to you all. Debbie
