First - today is Carol's last chemo treatment. Boooooo losing eyebrows and eyelashes, hooray end of chemo. She has really been a trooper through the whole thing. I'll be so glad when this is over and she gets her hair back.
These past couple of weeks have been rough - scheduling wise, work-wise, everything. And it's in these past couple of weeks that I am so grateful to be blessed with the people in my life. I have such wonderful friends and family everywhere who have helped me, have listened to me bitch and complain and just generally been around.
Like Tuesday, when Kevin and I had to miss Owen's game to go to Alex's graduation. Another coach came in and helped coach the team for us. I had not one, not two, but four different people willing to take Owen home from the ball field that night. I had two different parents, one calling Kevin's phone, one calling my phone to give us updates on the game. The family that did take Owen home that night fed him and made sure he had everything he needed.
Kevin has friends who are coming to help us set up the party on Friday night. My mom is planning on spending the day at our house on Saturday probably planting my containers and doing whatever I need to make sure the house is ready to go. My Roselawn wife is loaning me coolers to make sure I'm all set.
One of Alex's friends is having her graduation party on the Spirit of Chicago on Sunday. All I have to do is get Alex to the church on Sunday morning, and I have 3 different parents who are willing to drive him there and bring him back.
When you're a working mom, hell, even when you're not, even when you're just a busy mom with multiple kids running in multiple directions - it truly does take a village. I am truly blessed and fortunate that I have such a strong village - a fun village - sometimes a crazy village. Thank you villagers - I know some of you are out there. Have you thanked your village today?
