Pink Warrior: Fighting with Fatigue


So today I woke up and didn't have any energy. I just wanted to lay on the couch and sleep! Then I remember I'm a mommy. So I get up and wake my angels for school. I go into the kitchen to put a roast in the crockpot. Ugh... I don't have potatoes. So I tell my dad I have to go to the store. Then I go to get the girls up again. I tell them that I'm going to the store and want to play a game with them. While I am at the store, they are to get dressed and whoever gets done first wins. So off I go to the store which is only 2 minutes away. I walk in and the smell of fresh donuts hits me. I get my potatoes and they are on sale. So of course I go to the bakery. I buy donuts for my girls, dad, and myself. I get to the car and it is having trouble starting. I am sitting in the parking lot begging the car to start. Thank goodness it finally does. I get home and my angels are waiting to tell me they won. I can't help but laugh because they are in cute dresses with sweaters, leggings, and boots. They made sure to have everything done so they could win. I smiled and told them that I got them a special breakfast. They got excited wanting to know what it was. When I told them it was donuts, which is a treat because they don’t get them often, they started jumping for joy. So I give them their donuts and go fix the crockpot roast. I do their hair and my smallest angel is wearing her glasses that she got the day before. She looks super cute! She is worried that the kids will make fun of her so I let her take her Angry Birds case to school. It is time for the bus and off they go with their grandpa to the bus stop. Finally I get to sit back down. My body remembers how tired it is and I crash. My eyes close for a minute and I end up taking a 2 hour nap. I wake up to the phone ringing. Now I am sitting here wishing I had more energy. I just want another nap but I am waiting for the girls to come home wishing it wasn't dance night. They have cheerleading and hip~hop class tonight. I love to watch them dance but I just don't have the energy. Well I will fight the fatigue and get them to dance. When we get home they will do homework and we will have dinner. Then it is showers and Sprout on tv till bedtime. I love my angels and will push through fatigue for them. Hopefully tomorrow will be different and I do chemotherapy on Thursday. I am strong and I got this. It's all in the life of a mommy with cancer! :)
