Make that Change!

What's going through this sistah's head (and around her head!) on a daily basis?

Becoming an author...

I have decided.... I'm going to write a book. When I was younger I used to keep journals. They contained my thoughts of the day, my dreams, my fantasies, my imagination gone crazy at times. But when my writing was no longer decorated with rainbows & daisies, I stopped doing it. Now I find it necessary to start again.. & this time have it published! I even came up with a very appropriate title.... "THE BS I PUT UP WITH!!"
I just wish I would have started writing while I was going through chemo, but I honestly didn't want to remember that time of my life. I concentrated more on my daughter learning to speak, my newborn son...learning everything around him. I didn't want to remember the shiny bald head, so I took no pictures. I didn't want to remember the pain I was feeling in my shoulders & back... or worse yet the pain of almost losing my nails on both hands & feet. I could have taken pictures of my fingers when they were all bandaged up, but there I was at work...typing with my pinky & a pen. Hmmm... PINKy... there's that color again!
But after chemo, after surgeries, after this, after that...it really hit me that I put up w/just too much BS in my life! Maybe if I document it, it will warn others to stay away from the potholes I've previously fallen into. Maybe my words will help another become stronger. Maybe someone will just finally listen to me & justice will be served! UGH!!

I know what you mean. My youngest daughter was very ill from 4 days old, there are no pictures of her from then on until she had to have surgery at 4 months old. My brother took a photo as he said if she didn`t come out of the surgery I would regret it if I didn`t take any photos. Thankfully she came through and I`m glad you came through too. I`ve read your blog all the way through whilst looking at my messy house. It was well worth it. Take care and look after yourself and your darling children.
