Finally getting away!

fancynewbeesly · August 2014

I have been tentatively (but not hopeful) that I would be able to go BY MYSELF to NYC for the night. (Family lives there--but is on vacation at the time).

I had to jump through so many hoops.

Obviously getting the okay to stay there.

Setting up childcare for Reese on Thursday

She has chemo on Wednesday--so hoping it is a short appointment (it is).

Having DH be off/or coming home early on Wednesday from work. (he is)

I definitely need this break--I am just getting resentful and I need a break to refresh my batteries. I have been with her since her diagnosis in January--and even though DH helps, I was the main person staying in the hospital and home on house arrest with her and majority of her doctors appointments while he worked. I was off of work for 12 weeks with her, and then came back for the last 8 weeks of school and was off again for the summer. So I need a break.

And especially this week--because Reese on steroids is getting me to the end of my rope. I know she can't help it--but I just am lacking patience with her. And then have no patience with DH when he comes home from work.

I am anxious though--she is horrible about taking medicine and I know she will resist it from DH even more than me. (And she fights me like crazy on it) He will have to give her a dose of the steroids on Thursday morning. Plus Wednesday she will be getting harsh chemo which will cause her to feel like crap, but I have a feeling she will probably sleep most of Wednesday and hopefully be okay on Thursday for my MIL.

I am counting down til Wednesday though!
