Life

I really want to blog this morning. Every morning I would love to put up a post, because every day I think of a million things I want to remember that I won't if I don't write them down. I want to share our day to day how-to's on living with Ryan's cancer, because there is so much more to it than just meds and side effects. So tomorrow I am going to get up early--like school day early. And I'm going to let the kids sleep summer-break late, and I am going to blog my way through a good 3 or maybe even 4 cups of coffee.

But for right now, the three little ones are in the bathroom wrapping their Popsicles in toilet paper because they are too cold to hold while they eat them and we are out of napkins. Never mind that the fact of their insistence on wrapping them in anything while they eat them drives Ryan up a wall. And for the record, I don't remember running out of napkins. I think he hid them yesterday. And yes, it is 9am and yes, they are already eating Popsicles. They had breakfast over an hour ago, so I figure why not?

Additionally, Ryan is yelling for me every two minutes to "come look at this" and "did you wash that cushion yet?" (which has motor oil of all things on it and no I am not putting it in my washer!!!) and "did you get my morning pills yet?" and "you better come get the chickens out of the kitchen and tell the kids to leave that door shut!".

I should have spent maybe 5 minutes on this post. Instead it's been an hour and I give up on even sitting down to write--I just set my computer up on the breakfast bar and I pause to type a bit in between trips from one side of the house to the other. To go look at stuff, and get pills, and hide all the toilet paper, and chase chickens, and chase dogs away from chasing chickens, and to get drinks and clean up spills and save the remote control from the bottom of a 4-kid pile up.

I'll try again tomorrow! For today, enjoy the sun my friends and love all over all the loves in your life!!!
