Today's Update: (6/16/24)
The last few days have been...different. The kids were fine on Wednesday and Thursday but Saturday and today. Wheweeee. Something is off for sure. So, that's been a bit of a bummer and extremely draining. I am sure everyone gets to the point of parenting now and then where they're wondering what is going to help get their kids on track. I'm not sure what the exact answer is but I know that lots of prayer and consistency are important. Prayers appreciated for endurance this week!
As I reflect on my radiation journey so far I get really excited. After tomorrow we will have 2/5 weeks of radiation complete. I will only have two weeks and a day of treatment left. I'm thankful that once we got the medications figured out and I have gotten the rest needed I have felt much less tired. A nap each afternoon is very helpful. Last night I was woken up twice so that put a wrinkle in the day but we survived. I need to remember to check BEFORE I go to bed that on of my kids hasn't messed with their alarm clock this time 😆

My hair, eyelashes, and eyebrows are continuing to come in and are more noticeable each day. I never thought I would be so excited about eyebrows 😆
-
I've been doing pretty well with getting consistent sleep and eating relatively healthy. I've even seen positive changes with my weight because of my eating habits.
-
Behavior. This week is going to be really rough if I can't figure out how to help the kids. Prayers that they have just been off the last few days and that Scott and I are able to make good parenting decisions to help them.

Discipline. Sleeping, eating, and exercising. Today we went for a nice long walk on JMU's campus. That was really good for me in many ways.
