5inthetribe: September 2013
http://5inthetribe.blogspot.com/2013_09_01_archive.html
Navigating the cesspool of estrogen. Wednesday, September 18, 2013. Guilty of trying to be the greatest mom. Guilty of trying to convince others of this pretense as well. I looked for affirmation among the motherhood crowd and the crowd I tried to appease came with a big price tag. I am a Christian and I want my children to be raised following Christ. So my first clue should have been to turn to Him and Him alone. I didn’t possess that great skill but I ended up earning it. Volunteer – so much that...

http://thegrimreality.blogspot.com/2014/03/odd-happiness.html
The Grim Reality ;-). Life is short, live it up! Friday, March 14, 2014. So it feels strange to be happy in my current circumstance, but I am! He woke up from his attempt the morning after he took the pills. His plan was to sleep and never wake. He was in top physical condition due to it just being the end of his sport's season at school. Wonder Boy was severely depressed, suffered from lack of sleep, had anxiety and had been bulimic since October. We only found out about the sleep in January! My baby (h...

Ramblings of a mom and wife that just moved from a little city to a teeny town, and is currently in the process of battling ovarian cancer. Friday, October 24, 2014. When I Was 14. And I often wonder if our generation was the last one to truly enjoy a "leave it to beaver" childhood. I have the hardest time comprehending how a kid from Marysville could do something like this. I still think of that area like Mayberry or Walton's Mountain - how can someone there feel like this is their only choice? Somewher...

Ramblings of a mom and wife that just moved from a little city to a teeny town, and is currently in the process of battling ovarian cancer. Saturday, November 09, 2013. Ew Totally making the hubs clean that up. When I checked my head after my shower, I realized I now had bald spots, and gave up on the idea of waiting another day or so before having the hubs buzz it off. Now I have returned to my little old man (only now with receding hairline! I'm just glad my scalp doesn't hurt all the time! Saturday mo...

Ramblings of a mom and wife that just moved from a little city to a teeny town, and is currently in the process of battling ovarian cancer. Saturday, February 08, 2014. Everyone - meet Buster. Buster joined the Digby family a couple of weeks ago, at the start of the coldest weather we've had in the boonies. He seems to be thriving, and this morning he and his mama were pretty close to the house (comparatively speaking anyway) and I was able to grab a couple of pictures. As all babies are. And okra - we s...

Ramblings of a mom and wife that just moved from a little city to a teeny town, and is currently in the process of battling ovarian cancer. Thursday, October 24, 2013. What Has To Be Done. Today, I start chemo again. My insurance finally approved the cancer regimen I had for frontline chemo, and right now I am kicked back receiving pre- meds prior to starting carbo/taxol. Next up will be the carboplatin, which is what we're hoping I'm not resistant to. That will only take 30 minutes or so. I'm ge...So fa...

Ramblings of a mom and wife that just moved from a little city to a teeny town, and is currently in the process of battling ovarian cancer. Friday, October 10, 2014. The Digby's Take Houston. So Here we are in Houston. We have visited with the clinical trial folks, and they don't think I'm strong enough to be on a trial. Most of that is probably due to my lungs not working well these days. They are also sending me to another lung doctor, as well as a nutritionist doc. It's the little things. Rocks In My ...
