I'd be chased by a monster, bear, or scary clown, but I couldn't move. It was as if my body was made of lead. On bad days like you describe, I feel the same way.Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04647975637268895019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24415762.post-47559648413881246142008-10-11T07:59:00.000-05:002008-10-11T07:59:00.000-05:00Get the shoes - you deserve it!

I remember a speech therapist telling me I need to work on "behavior" issues with my fourth child. Ha! During chemo, there's only room for food, shelter, and lots and lots of love.

It is too easy for me to forget that you also have to handle all the stress that comes from raising two little ones. The two kids alone have been too much for me this week - you are a woman of amazing strength.Monkeymamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06264960774394882763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24415762.post-48243470020973311202008-10-10T09:07:00.000-05:002008-10-10T09:07:00.000-05:00Sorry to hear about the shitty day, Emilie.
