A moment in time

The past week has been difficult.  Tom started the Temodar chemo pills last week.  The 3rd day in he got sick, then the next 2 days no vomiting, just the dry heaves, which I think is even worse.  Today he is 3 days out from the last dose and starting to do a little better.  The vivid dreams keep him awake at night so much so that he doesn't feel like he got any sleep, so he naps periodically throughout the day, then again at night, he can't sleep.  He moves from his bed, to the couch, to his recliner trying to get comfortable.  I hate it for him.  He and his dad talked about going to walk the mall or wal-mart just for something to do.  I need to get them to actually go do this now.  Tom is so bored, and I think that is why he cat naps all day long, there's nothing else to do.  The only time the x-box has ever been on is for Nathan's requests to watch Toy Story 3 or Elmo.

It seems as time stands still sometimes, but at the same time passes by at lightening speed.  Will we ever find a happy medium?

Nathan has been having a lot of fun playing with all his new birthday and Christmas toys.  We go from building wooden blocks, to building mega blocks, the geo-track train, eat a snack, run errands, take a nap, do laundry, play drums, lunch, play more blocks, throw Woody and Buzz around, get a time out, take another nap (perhaps), wrestle, play hide-n-seek, play blocks, take a bath, read books and go to bed.    Then! Finally! Mommy gets to work on Snuggli Bebe / rDesignStudio / My Pure Body Naturals, Facebook, blogging, flip laundry, empty the dishwasher, take out the trash, make sure Tom took his pills (happens throughout the day as well), listen to shows I DVR'd as I work on the computer, talk to friends on Facebook, and then get to bed by 1am.

I did manage to get in some sewing therapy today!  I found this awesome tutorial on how to make a padded zippered laptop sleeve.  I've been wanting one of these and what better way than to make it!

I also made us each a travel pillow to bring on our Florida trip.  Tom's is WI Badgers with soft black minky on the back.  Nathan's is Groovy Guitars with soft aqua minky on the back, and mine is an Alexander Henry print I can't remember the name of, but I love the big huge modern flowers (and it matches my laptop sleeve).  I added soft black minky to the back of my pillow.  The ribbon loops on Nathan's are for fun and function, like the two on each of Tom's and my pillow.  I put them there so we can hook the pillows to our luggage to carry through the airport, so we don't have to hold them and drop them, etc...  I know, so thoughtful of me:)

I really enjoyed sewing something super fun and something for ME/US today instead of orders.  I did design a new cloth diaper for Snuggli Bebe called "The Daddy Dipe" cuz it's so easy, even Daddy can do it!  :)  I listed them for sale and marketed them last night, and both sold immediately, with two pre-orders!  That made my night last night!

{THANK YOU ALL}
I just want to take this moment to THANK everyone for your outpouring of love, support, prayers, generosity, and for all of the encouragement.  It really means SO much, I cannot even put into words.  We love you all, and Thank You All!

Warmly,
Roxanne
