Sleepy

We are so sleepy these days. I have taken a nap every day for the last three days which is a real record for me. I never take naps. Of course, the funny part is that it is Michie that is having the radiation...not me.

Radiations is going better now that Michie is off work. She is also becoming a champion napper. She has managed the exhaustion well and doesn't seems to be dealing with too much irritation. She says it is about a 3 to 4 on a scale of 1-10.

We have now completed 6 of 19 rads and are becoming buddies with the valet guy in the parking lot. He knows who we are and doesn't even ask how long we will be there any more. It takes us about an hour to get in, treated, and back out. I am looking at it as a way to get 19 dates in a row with my wife. There is always a silver lining to events in life.

Life continues on it's roller coaster but for the most part I am starting to feel like I have a few moments to breath in between the teacher conferences, continued house maintenance and visits with friends. And for those friends/family who haven't heard...I made Lieutenant! I am officially on the list of folks to be promoted in the next few months. Yeah!

Speaking of friends and family: Thank you everyone for your amazing support. We could not have done any of this without you. Everything that has been done for us has helped us get through this wild ride whole and intact. We truly appreciate your work and presence in our lives.

So this is kind of a meandering blog but sometimes that is just what suits your mood. Peace, naps and rest to all.

Yay for naps. Naps should be federally mandated, I think.

Thanks so much for the parenting 911 the other night. The family meeting went very well and we've had sleep! precious sleep! and the fervent hope that it's going to continue.

I'm glad you cancelled the other night--I was thinking it was all a bit much for you guys.
