My mother, brother, Ethan and I went on a day trip to whistler on the train. Dave was busy with work so he could not join us.
Ethan loved the train, it was so fun for him. Us as well. it was such a beautiful trip up there!
My mother and I for one thing decided last minute to take a trip to California with my 8 yr old brother and Ethan.
It was quite the mad dash for Ethan's passport. I cut it close. I went in to the office on Monday and had a rush put on it and thanks to my friend Julie (who picked it up for me since I was out of town that day) by Friday evening I had it back and ready to go for the following Monday.
I was worried about Ethan on the plane. He wont sit still for two minutes let alone two and a half hours..... sitting on my lap.
It went really well though. He was happy as can be. He got a little frustrated a few times when he wanted to get up but I wouldn't let him.
Finally I figured whatever and let him run up and down the isle of the plane, me following behind him.
No one seemed to mind. We were on a plane headed to Orange County so it was packed full of kids, a lot of them whiney, on their way to Disneyland. So, what does everyone expect?
We got there Monday and headed for Disneyland on Tuesday.
It was packed. Hot, packed and full of whiney bratty kids and irritated potty mouthed parents.
We had a good time despite that.
Ethan and I separated a lot with my mom and brother since my brother wanted to go on a lot of rides that Ethan can't go on.
Dumbo was wild enough for us (Ethan loved it)
I ended up walking a lot. Ethan would fall asleep in the stroller and I would walk back and forth until I met up with my mother and brother again. Did me the world of good to get that much exercise.
Wednesday we went to Universal Studios. Again my mom and Lucas (my brother actually has a name) ended up going on rides that were not the best for Ethan. So, Ethan and I hung out at the Curious George water park while they went and did their thing.
That was a great idea for kids. I knew about it before we went so I packed a few extra sets of clothes for Ethan.
I stripped him down, took off our shoes and sent him in.
We hardly got a few feet when I was told we have to have shoes on. Really? Ugh.
Well, I put Ethan's sandles back on and remembered seeing sponge bob flip flops in the store conveniently parked right next to the water park. I hauled out the visa and dragged Ethan kicking and crying saying "water, water" and went in to get the flip flops. I mentioned to the cashier if they only sold those shoes they probably would be doing just fine. She smiled and said "Yep"
I hate being forced to buy things like that. Oddly enough though I saw more adults wearing them than kids. I guess we all don't want to get our shoes wet but the kids can deal with soggy shoes lol.
So, that was fun. Ethan loved it. I got soaked too but it was pretty hot so I dried off fast.
We spent most of the day there at the water park and the rest of the kids play place.
After that was a tour of Hollywood. We did this kind of thing last time we were there.
I was worried about how Ethan would hold up being cooped up on the bus for a few hours but he was happy. Tired from all the playing he did.
We did Sea World on Saturday. It was crazy how packed it was.
I have to say my mom and I both can't stand an overly packed place where you have to shuffle since you can't walk. Line ups for food that would take about 2 hrs with kids who have little patience.
To make a long story short, my mom and I were on the verge of a "spat" so before I myself or my mother snapped, I suggested we did our own thing. So, we seperated.
After about 2 minutes I realized I was being stupid so I tried to catch up with them.
Too many people, I saw them but could not even get close enough to yell. I ended up loosing them in the crowd.
Ethan and I just walked and walked.
Everything was way too busy and packed to get into.
I let Ethan out of the stroller and run around a park area where he found a friend and I ended up chatting with other people with kids. So, it was nice.
We did see the whales (ahem, abuse how they are stuffed in that small tank) turtles, sharks and a few other things before the big split with my mom and Lucas so I figured that we got something out of the time there.
When it came close to the time we were to meet at the bus, I got a hand stamp (just incase) and left the park to go and sit by where the bus would meet us. Ok, I get outside and look around at the parking lot and could not figure out where I came from.
So, I got a little stressed and went back in.
There were so many people leaving the place as the whale show was over. So, I fought the crowd to go and look for my mother.
I was tired, had not eaten that day (refused to wait in those line ups and didn't want the crap they were serving at their little over priced stands)
I was tired and just worn out, didn't know where the bus was going to pick us up so my mood was waining.....fast.
I started to actually panic. I did figure the worst that would happen is i miss the bus and either stay in a local hotel for the night and figure it out the next day or take a taxi back so not like I was without a solution.
However, I was too tired to deal with all of that.
Totally forgetting two things. 1 - I had a sticker on me that said what tour company I was with and 2 - My mom had her cell phone on and with her, I started to actually cry. I was so tired.
One man came running up to me and asked in a panic if I had lost a child. He was very concerned. I said, "no, I can't find my mother and my brother" I said this as I burst out crying. LOL. He was not impressed, he said "oh, well here I thought you were missing a child" and walked off.
I ended up finding them at the missing childrens building. LOL. Sad eh? I can be such a wimp.
Trip home went well, we all had fun. Did me the world of good for my health. I walked over 100k in that week for sure.
Great way to start to get in shape. One of the best things I can do to fight this cancer.
Next day I went for another CT scan. Back to reality. Oh yea, I have cancer.
Tomorrow I see the Oncologist for the results.
I don't know what to think. I feel so good, I can lift heavy things, run around from morning until night. I seriously do not have cancer until I go for appointments or chemo. Other than that, it does not physically affect my life in any way shape or form.
Emotionally, yes. I am terrified. I am afraid of the results. I prepare for the worst. One day it may be the worst. Is it now? Or do I have a lot of time? I hate this. I want it to go away.
I am going to try the Tumeric supliments. Apparently it is good for fighting both triple negative along with ER PR positive.
That and green tea. so, thats my new thing along with excersising a lot.
I will post up results tomorrow if they are good. If they are not, I don't know when I will feel like saying anything.
I have right now, thats all I know .........
