It makes me wish Tracy still lived in Lancaster so I could go to dollar stores down there myself (when visiting her of course) to buy my own items to destroy for art! There may be dollar stores in Alaska, but I'm not making the trip. Bishop, alas, has no cheesy dollar retailers. You may be separated from you extended family, and perhaps a bit isolated south of the mason dixon line, but at least you have cheap chain outlets.BookyGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06239216887599784580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4920880307557460730.post-85046319622915368882008-07-01T13:18:00.000-04:002008-07-01T13:18:00.000-04:00Thank you guys!

One of the side effects of the drugs is "tiredness not relieved by sleep". So, even after taking a nap, sometimes she's still exhausted.<BR/><BR/>Today is better so far- we are going to Old Navy to get 4th of July T-shirts and then we're going for ice cream. My parents left today so it's all on me.... will let you know how it goes.<BR/><BR/>And, G, the cheap plates are a great idea. I know people make mosaics out of broken ceramics so I'm thinking PROJECT (wearing gloves, of course, to protect from the sharp edges.)PleaseRecyclehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02983474157607882308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4920880307557460730.post-54271031109266101552008-07-01T11:36:00.000-04:002008-07-01T11:36:00.000-04:00If there is a dollar store in town you and Mollie ...If there is a dollar store in town you and Mollie should make a trip, buy some thin ceramic plates, vases etc, and have a great big throwing things at the wall party. I've always wanted to do that. But seriously, this sucks. I'm no expert, but my instinct says you should try and keep routines, such as eating at the table, even if it does cause a ruckus at first. Even when ill, Mollie is going to need boundries. At certain points she may just be too sick to eat at the table, but it doesn't sound like that's the case right now. I think some days of laying on the couch seem normalish, she's got to be tired, and this is a big adjustment for anyone, much less a 4-year-old. If it really bothers you, you could always limit T.V. hours. Nothing's easy, but sometimes life is excrutiating.BookyGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06239216887599784580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4920880307557460730.post-41653473828711310022008-07-01T00:10:00.000-04:002008-07-01T00:10:00.000-04:00you edited this since i last read it. my heart goe...you edited this since i last read it. my heart goes out to you. this is not the way one wants to become a stay-at-home parent. please call me if you want/need to vent. and for mollie, do you know how much she understands of what is happening to her? how much have you talked with her? are there groups/programs/classes that she can participate in through the hospital? i know the last place you want to spend more time is the hospital, but they likely have support services you all might find so helpful right now. you know you aren't alone in parenting a child with cancer, but she is 4 and doesn't likely understand all that is happening or why. huge hugs.Nicolahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02044553646998556989noreply@blogger.com
