Monday is...

Monday is...Bounding into a busy work week after a 36 mile bike ride and cheering/encouraging/
supporting NF runners along a half mile stretch of the Philly Half Marathon.

Monday is...International Talk Like a Pirate Day. What else to say, I looked like a pirate until the clock struck noon and I rushed out the door of my classroom

Monday is....CHOP day. Owen was incredibly sweet and sour today. Lovey and obstinate. One minute telling me he loved me the next yelling at me "Chee, Chee, Chee!" (not sure what it means but I know in Owen's world he is cursing me out) His doctors are still trying to find a dosage "sweet spot" varying the amount of chemo to give him the strongest dose he can handle without his blood counts dropping and spiking fevers. Latest MRI shows stable optic glioma (good!) but a scan of the spine shows an area of the spine tethered to the spinal column (bad!). Joe and I take Owen to the neurosurgeon on Wednesday to find out about next steps.

Monday is...rush Joey to soccer practice after picking him up from his after school program, running into Pina's for a couple slices of pizza, Joey gobbling it up in the car and Owen eating at a picnic table at the field.

Monday is...leaving the kids with Alex at the soccer field to rush to Owen's Back to School Night...Alex having to deal with an explosive mess while I was gone (sorry and thank you.)

Monday is...OVER...thank god.
