The "spot"

My mom has had this spot for several years now and they have just been watching this unwanted visitor.  My mom started a new round of chemo 3 weeks ago and had her 2nd round of chemo today.  She had a doctor visit first and the oncologist couldn't feel the spot; like he has before.  Praise Jesus!  When she told me, what a huge burden that had been lifted.  I have been a little anxious about all of this and even whether I should be tested for the gene.  Her doctor today told her that she was not a candidate for the testing and that neither was I.  I think she said that with her type of cancer; there is no testing.  She has a very aggressive form of cancer that just has trouble staying away for too long.  It really likes her!  And you know how we feel about it.......LOL 

I have several prayer requests and one is for me to try my best not to worry about the "what ifs". 

Overall, I'm doing really well.  Zachary and I are going to start a pre-k curriculum here probably starting at the beginning of June.  I know Sadie will be an active part of it too, but at the same time; just doesn't have the maturity level to understand or do all the activities.  I'll involve her though as much as can be.  I have been going back and forth as far as when to start him in kindergarten.  I have been thinking about 6 yrs old; which would be August of 2015, but not sure what to do yet.  I told Les that I would continue praying about it and just let my gut guide me.  Zachary and I have been working on learning to trace; which he likes.  It's not his favorite, but he will do it for me.  He gets so excited though once he starts and sees how good he's doing.  :):)

I have been back at work now 3 1/2 months.  I am really enjoying the 2 days a week schedule.  I have been very busy, but that's good for my brain.  ;)

Les and I are doing well.  We've been busy with various projects and extra "side work" for others.  However, the extras and diligently watching our money is what allows me to stay home and homeschool our kids.

Thank you, Lord, for the many blessings!
