Freaky Easter

When my sisters and I were little and it was cold, we used to say Brrrr Rabbiter. And this Easter, that is entirely appropriate.

This was Zoe yesterday at the park. We were there over 3 hours and she biked, played soccer, caught bugs, climbed trees, ran around and played on the playground equipment. The weather was perfect and seemed like it was going to be a nice Easter. It was our perfect day. I captured some of it on my little camera videophone, but Sprint won't let me save it to upload unless I buy Quicktime Pro. So for now, pictures it is.

And today. My nieces woke up and were like.. ok.. shorts, sandals. I told them, well I think it's cold today, so put on some pants. There was some serious balking going on. Threw on sweatshirts, but as soon as I went to my car I came back in and demanded winter coats. It was 36 degrees, rainy and windy. They were very glad to be warm when we went out.

Then this afternoon we had a thunderstorm and hail. I was like HAIL?

Bizarro. I think God is trying to tell us something.

I go to Houston again next week for follow up to my follow up appointments. I'm excited to go so I can see some friends, but I dislike leaving Zoe with my folks. She gets very anxious and wakes up all night when I'm gone. It can wear anyone out to be woken up 3-5 times a night... not to mention, it freaks my mom out because she goes in their room and just stands over the bed. Breathing. My poor sweetie. So much anxiety over me being "sick" or mommy maybe dying or something. I am not even sure what to do either. I know it will be okay, but everyone is always exhausted when I get home, including me.

But her fund raising is cheering her up. She likes being in charge and making decisions. Soon we will have a finalized logo and will set up the t-shirts and other items. I've been so excited and have been spreading the word.

Again, if you'd like to add your name to our survivor's list, that would be great. I really would like it if there were more survivors than those who didn't beat cancer.

I can do this, it's almost Easter. Happy belated Passover to my lovely Jewish friends.

Your assignment today is to find something to rejoice about. Tell me if you want to. I'm tired of all the complaining people do. Do something about it or shut up already. If you can't solve the world's ills, start in your own backyard and do some good in your community. You'd be surprised what a little effort and kindness brings you. I believe that what you put out into the Universe comes back to you. So if all you do is complain, then wonder why your life is sucking, guess why.

P.S. Little guy over at Team Pete is feeling rather punk and could use some comments and prayers. I remember when I was too sick to write and too sick to talk, reading comments was a wonderful way to know I was not alone. Please spread the word of his site, and let this little chemo warrior know that we are out there for him. He's an amazing guy.

I love you internets. Have a happy and blessed Easter.

I can't wait to see you. Yes you.
