Today was baaaaath day.
At first the sheep don't like it. But then they realize they are just getting a bath and they just stand there.
They get really white!
Chadwick was diggin his bath. He is a little stand-offish and a bit shy but I think we won him over. He is quite cute
Arial even got in on it. She really enjoyed it. I thought she was going to fall asleep,
Everyone got squeaky clean. Arial promptly rolled right after she was finished! Darn it!
My dog Chloe has taken to following me around everywhere I go. She is 75 lbs of love and saliva. She is generally a very needy dog but it has gotten worse. Since my surgery and chemotherapy she seems to need to be there where ever I go. She sits under my feet while I am in the kitchen (mostly for the food droppage) She lays on my bed when I turn in. She follows me to the bathroom and waits until I am finished. She is just everywhere. I feel like I am being stalked. When I watch TV she is right at the couch needing my hand to be there on her. She has been like this twice before. When I was pregnant with SES and MES I was on bed rest and she did the same thing. I think that she knows what is going on. As far as she can get it. She is a dog after all. Some people believe that animals have a sense that we do not. They can tell when natural disasters are about to happen. I think she has a sense of what is happening to me. That I need a little extra love and affection.
I was outside yesterday sitting on my front porch watching humming birds. Sitting next to me was a potted plant. I was pinching spent flowers when I found this little guy. He was about an inch and a half long. He did not really like me taking his picture I guess he was feeling a bit shy.
My garden is progressing and in a few days I should have more cucumbers,squash and zucchini that I can eat in a year.I made my first batch of sweet pickles. They were so yummy. They taste like summer.
I had a good doctors appointment today. Friday I go in for my second to last chemo treatment. I am really excited. I can't wait until I can say " I just have one more to go!" So far I do not have any new hair growth. I keep having dreams about washing my hair. Silly really but I really miss it. I have been looking a people's hair while I am out and about trying to visualize what I want my new hair to look like. It will be nice not to wear my scarves anymore.
It's pretty quiet around here today. HES is at pony camp and SES is at a sleep over. MES and I are just hanging out. She woke up this morning with a rash all over her little body. So we are off to the doctor later this afternoon. Our regular pediatrician is on vacation this week so we have to see a different doctor we have never seen before. I am pretty sure it is just viral but I thought I should get it checked out. I hope it isn't something that will make me sick.
It has been nice not having the kids in school. I have been enjoying sleeping in and reading and have even done a bit of cooking. It has been a while since I have wanted to make anything other than quick meals.
I have been posting over at Mothers With Cancer. Go over and check it out. There are a lot of new authors and lots of new posts. There are lots of different stories, different kinds of cancers that all these ladies have. Hopefully the site will help a lot of woman who need support or just someone to talk to. I found after my diagnosis and surgeries that the woman that I was able to talk to on line really helped. I have made so many new friends who are struggling with cancer too. I don't feel so alone in my disease.
