Our Crazy Week

I think I must have caught a stomach virus when we were at Jump Zone last weekend. I was sick Sunday and then stayed home from work on Monday. Came back to work on Tuesday, sat down at my desk and the phone rang...it was Mamma Faye telling me that Cole was sick. So, i packed up and headed out to get him and take him home. He seemed ok the next day, so I went back to work and he went back to daycare. Wednesday was a good day until right before bed...Cole ended up getting sick again!! So, Nick stayed home with him on Thursday. Back to work and daycare on Friday only to have preschool call at lunch time to say Chase was sick!! Are you keeping up with this?!?! So, Nick left work and went and got him and took him home.

Friday was not a good day at all...Rocksie was at the vet to have surgery to remove a cancerous lump on her leg. The vet called me and told me that they had run some tests and it was too risky to give her anesthesia. He wanted to do some x-rays and blood tests to see if the cancer had spread. So, we were worried sick about her all day. Luckily the x-rays didn't show any masses, but there were a couple of questionable spots on her lungs. I picked her up that evening feeling much better than earlier in the day.

Our bad week turned into a pretty good weekend! I ran my first 5 mile race on Saturday afternoon! I was very happy that I was able to finish it, and I came in under my goal of 1 hour...54:01 was my time!! WOOHOOO!!! I am working my way toward the 9 mile race that I signed up for on March 13!

Yesterday we all went to the park, even Rocksie! It was a bit chilly out, but we had a nice time. Later on we went out to dinner at Chili's and then grocery shopping at Target! Definitely a fun family day!



February is staring out as a good month for us! Today is the 13 year anniversary of when Nick and I started dating!! Wow, it has been a LONG time!! :-) This morning, we received good news that Rocksie's cancer has not spread to any of her organs or into her bloodstream. So, we are super relieved about that!! She is scheduled to go back in on Feb 12th to have the lump removed, so hopefully all will go well!

Hopefully the rest of our month will be just as good as today! We don't have much going on this month, but are looking forward to a busy March! Up next is Nick's stair climb on Saturday and watching the big game on Sunday!

Hope everyone has a great week!
