Rainy Day

Don't feel much like having cancer today!  Just not in the mood!  If only it were that easy.  

I woke up to the sound of rain and it reminded me of the "rain, rain, go away...." song we all know.  I sang to myself, "Cancer, cancer, go away, Lisa doesn't want to play.  Cancer, cancer, go away, my kiddos need their mom today!"  

So I rolled out of bed and began my day.  Kids off to school, walked on the treadmill, made necklaces and drawings with Millie.  Read books and rocked her to sleep.  Had Ike sit on my lap and look at his beautiful Mother's Day creations.  Watched Loni perform a play.  I pulled weeds, talked with friends and warmed up dinner.  An awesome day!

I refuse to let cancer tell me how to live my life.  It can't dictate who I am or how I feel.  I'm still a Mom, I'm still a wife and I can still be happy.  Sorry cancer!  

Found this cute poem by Dr. Seuss:

I have heard there are troubles

of more than one kind.

Some come from ahead and 

some come from behind. 

But I've brought a big bat.

I'm all ready you see.

Now my troubles are going

to have troubles with me!

I am ready to fight, cancer will have troubles with me!  My beautiful kids and my charming husband are what I am fighting for.  I don't want to miss it!

A great rainy day with the kids!
