I got my hair cut today. This is a picture of how it looks today after my hairdresser spent at least an hour straightening it. I won't be doing that. It's too exhausting!

Feeling Good!
I just wanted everyone to know that I have been feeling good lately. My doctor prescribed a steroid to help boost my energy and it's been working. Yes, I still get tired easily but I have more energy than before I began taking it. I'll find out in a few weeks if it helps while I'm at school. I'm attending a workshop on August 6-8, I have a treatment on the 9th, teachers start back to school on the 13th, and students start back on the 20th. I'm not excited about going back because I'm able to get so much more rest during the summer, but I am SO thankful that I can still work. God continues to bless me more than I deserve. He is an awesome God and I'm so glad I'm His!

Time to vent
I haven't updated in a while. I haven't felt that great. I am so blessed to be a teacher so I can have some time off in the summer to relax, but I'm starting to get concerned about going back again. I'm concerned about how long I will actually be able to teach. I love my job but any teacher can tell you that it is QUITE tiring and stressful. I absolutely adore my students and want to be able to be the best teacher for them that they deserve. God is good and I am so blessed that He is still allowing me to teach.
I need encouragement. I'm feeling alone. I know I'm not, but I feel that way a lot. I have a wonderful husband who loves me and takes extremely good care of me; I have a loving church family who has been watching out for me as well; I have a new family who loves me and takes care of me too; but most of all, I have an awesome Heavenly Father who loves me beyond reason. So why do I feel this way? Probably because I have stage 4 metastatic breast cancer! I'm human and have a tough time dealing with it at times. I have a good friend who just spent two hours talking to me and letting me vent as I really haven't done before. She helped me a lot. Thank you dear. I needed that.
Nothing has really changed in my prognosis; I just get down at times. None of us knows how long we have on this earth, but when we are faced with our mortality the reality hits you square in the face. I know that when God chooses to take me Home, it will be the best day ever! I just don't look forward to the process of getting there. I also know from experience how great it has been to have my Mama in my life. I want that for my kids. I also know how unfortunate it has been for my children not to have their Dad's mother in their lives. She would have been such a good grandmother! I want to be there for my grandchildren and I want to be healthy for them. Keep praying for me and for a cure to this awful disease. God is so good and has a purpose for all of this, but I do get frustrated. Ease my frustration, LORD!
I'm sorry that I had to vent today. I stay upbeat for the most part, but I do have my moments. Writing in my blog has often helped me sort things out. Thank you for your continued prayers and support. God is good!
