What?? Our stress levels are normal?? HAH!!

OK

I heard a funny thing today.

Apparently going to school full time and being a full time parent of a child with leukemia is "NORMAL STRESS"

hahahahahahaah I ROTFLMAO if i wasn't driving.... (readers please I hardly use those terms..lol.. haha)


Some people have no idea.....

Going to school full time, working full time, being a full time parent, now those are things that alone are not too stressful (if everything is ok)

But combine any of those three (or all three) and your more stressed than a hamster in a ball running away from the cat!

I will admit since finishing school my stress has been down but not as much as I would like. I still have to worry about getting a phone call either to rush back to Hershey, or something came up with his most recent test results and they needed him ASAP!

On top of that, were still seperated in living, how the hell is that "NORMAL"???

Very soon things will be better, we will have some what of a normal life. His mom will be done school too (thank GOD!!) so we will be able to get our own place.

I am already done school, I have a full time job, she will be getting a job after.

By time things really start rolling for us it will almost be Christmas (I am sure) but we will be through year #2 and that means we are one year closer to completed treatment, and less than 5 years from officaially cured.

BUT that doesnt mean we still wont have a little bit of stress lying around him.
For one, we pray that this will not happen, but relapse can happen at any time after final treatment.

We still need to worry about that.

TWO: HE is going to be 5 soon, that means school! DEAR LORD OUR CHILD IS ALMOST GROWN :-/

THREE: At this point we are only working off one income. We will struggle just like every other person out there to make ends meat. To pay our bills, and provide what we hope will be a better life for our children than what we had from our parents.


Then again... this stress we feel? IT'S NORMAL!!

Isn't it??......


LOL :p
