Tomorrow is the first day of school and the first day of chemorad at my house. AND NOBODY WANTS TO GO. smile

Packing: Les Miserables DVD, ipad, lavender oil, lunch, headphones for guided meditation, anti-nausea meds, sedatives, journal, pic of kiddo...

... and most importantly the knowledge that so many of you have gone through the exact same thing and emerged roughed up but alive, loving and kind.

God Bless everyone who's walked this path --

Love and Hugs,

Mama
