Took down another heart...

A wonderful woman with whom I work, hung six hearts in my office after my second chemo treatment - one for each treatment I had left.  On Friday, I took down number six.  Five more to go! 

Feeling good, but starting to feel the tiredness creeping in.  It's going to be a slow day.  I'll most likely go to work tomorrow, but I'll stay home on Tuesday when the white blood cell boosting shots kick in.  My joints feel like they're 100 years old.  Small price to pay for shrinking tumors compared to what others have to go through.

So, I'm trying to type this blog, and Charlotte is turning into a computer button pushing octopus!  Now she has my phone.  Who knows if I'll be able to undo the settings.  LOL!  I don't know if other moms experience this, but anytime Erik or I are on the computer, Charlotte is right there pushing buttons and wanting to play with it.  She can also spot a cell phone from across a crowded room!  I did a paper in grad school on "digital natives."  There's a theory that kids growing up today are "digital natives" and have to be taught in ways that enhance those skills because that's the way they will learn as adults.  (I'm trying to get another master's in adult learning and training.)  After watching Charlotte, I wholeheartedly agree.  As an adult, she'll need training in a different manner than we receive/d it.

Okay, my alloted blog writing time is coming to an end.  Charlotte is wanting to "walka walka."  Mom duty never ends, which isn't a bad thing at all.  :-)
