Ill always be Andrea McCracken
I'm sitting here in Phx.
Just moved back.
I hate it.
But, I'll be close to Josh and Jake will be with me FT.
Charlie is moving to WA and I'm so sad.
I'll always be his wife in my heart. He will always be my best friend.
In the next life, I promise not to mess up.
Until then Charlie, please know I'll always love you and our sons with everything I am.

39 observations (not my list but many of mine are on here)
1. Nothing sucks more than that moment during an argument when you realize you're wrong.
2. Have you ever been walking down the street and realized that you're going in the complete opposite direction of where you are supposed to be going? But instead of just turning a 180 and walking back in the direction from which you came, you have to first do something like check your watch or phone or make a grand arm gesture and mutter to yourself to ensure that no one in the surrounding area thinks you're crazy by randomly switching directions on the sidewalk.
3. I totally take back all those times I didn't want to nap when I was younger.
4. There is a great need for a sarcasm font.
5. I think everyone has a movie that they love so much; it actually becomes stressful to watch it with other people. I'll end up wasting 90 minutes shiftily glancing around to confirm that everyone's laughing at the right parts, then making sure I laugh just a little bit harder (and a millisecond
earlier) to prove that I'm still the only one who really, really gets it.
6. How the hell are you supposed to fold a fitted sheet?
7. I would rather try to carry 10 plastic grocery bags in each hand than take 2 trips to bring my groceries in.
8. I think part of a best friend's job should be to immediately clear your computer history if you die.
9. The only time I look forward to a red light is when I'm trying to finish a text.
10. Was learning cursive really necessary?
11. LOL has gone from meaning, "laugh out loud" to "I have nothing else to say".
12. Whenever someone says "I'm not book smart, but I'm street smart", all I hear is "I'm not real smart, but I'm imaginary smart".
13. How many times is it appropriate to say "What?" before you just nod and smile because you still didn't hear what they said?
14. I love the sense of camaraderie when an entire line of cars teams up to prevent a jerk from cutting in at the front. Stay strong, brothers and sisters!
15. While driving yesterday I saw a banana peel in the road and instinctively swerved to avoid it...thanks Mario Kart.
16. MapQuest really needs to start their directions on #5. Pretty sure I know how to get out of my neighborhood.
17. Obituaries would be a lot more interesting if they told you how the person died.
18. I find it hard to believe there are actually people who get in the shower first and THEN turn on the water.
19. Shirts get dirty. Underwear gets dirty. Pants? Pants never get dirty, and you can wear them forever.
20. I can't remember the last time I wasn't at least kind of tired.
21. Bad decisions make good stories.
22. Why is it that during an ice-breaker, when the whole room has to go around and say their name and where they are from, I get so incredibly nervous? Like I know my name, I know where I'm from; this shouldn't be a problem....
23. You never know when it will strike, but there comes a moment at work when you've made up your mind that you just aren't doing anything productive for the rest of the day.
25. Can we all just agree to ignore whatever comes after DVDs? I don't want to have to restart my collection.
26. There's no worse feeling than that millisecond you're sure you are going to die after leaning your chair back a little too far.
27. I'm always slightly terrified when I exit out of Word and it asks me if I want to save any changes to my ten page research paper that I swear I did not make any changes to.
28. While watching the Olympics, I find myself cheering equally for China and USA . No, I am not of Chinese descent, but I am fairly certain that when Chinese athletes don't win, they are executed.
29. I hate when I just miss a call by the last ring (Hello? Hello? Darn it!), but when I immediately call back, it rings nine times and goes to voicemail. What'd you do after I didn't answer? Drop the phone and run away?
30. I hate leaving my house confident and looking good and then not seeing anyone of importance the entire day. What a waste.
31. I like all of the music in my iTunes, except when it's on shuffle, then I like about one in every fifteen songs in my iTunes.
32. Sometimes I'll look down at my watch 3 consecutive times and still not know what time it is.
33. It should probably be called Unplanned Parenthood.
34. I keep some people's phone numbers in my phone just so I know not to answer when they call.
35. Even if I knew your social security number, I wouldn't know what do to with it.
36. Even under ideal conditions people have trouble locating their car keys in a pocket, finding their cell phone, and Pinning the Tail on the Donkey - but I'd bet my ass everyone can find and push the Snooze button from 3 feet away, in about 1.7 seconds, eyes closed, first time every time...
37. My 4-year old son asked me in the car the other day "Dad, what would happen if you ran over a ninja?" How the heck do I respond to that?
38. I wonder if cops ever get hacked off at the fact that everyone they drive behind obeys the speed limit.
39. I think the freezer deserves a light as well.

Friday Fill In
1. My car is the car of my dreams.
2. My favorite seasons (are) is coming up next.
3. Lately, things seem busier than ever and I can't figure out why.
4. The bathroom with the shower on sitting on the floor reading a book is one of my favorite 'hiding' places.
5. What happened to manners?
6. Being happy is not impossible!
I know, I am been so absent lately. I have been working every second I can. The holidays are coming and I want to try to make it a nice one, if I can.
Josh has been doing well in school though I am not overly thrilled with things right now. It is no ones fault. So I hope I am not sounding harsh. His teacher had open-heart surgery and has been out for quite some time. Bless her. I hope she is recovering well. I have been there (sort of). But I am not sure I am crazy about her replacement. Maybe the real problem I have is the she is irreplaceable. I mean, I am not even sure who Josh's teacher is right now. I am thankful Misty is still in the room so there is at least some normalcy to Josh's day but he keeps saying "Karen not there". He is bothered by her absence. I try to get him excited about school and he just does not want to go. Not that this had anything to do with it by my dear neighbor Z enrolled her son into The Odyssey Preparatory Academy and I checked it out. I am SO excited! Both my boys WILL be going there. I do not care what I have to do. As of now their preschool is not open but as soon as it is, I am enrolling Josh.
Both boys started swim lessons. Jake cries through most of his and Josh loves Miss Megan and he is doing well.
The Wallaby is back on track and we hope to be up and running before the year is out.
We went to Vegas about a month ago and had a blast. It was Mom, Uncle Jerry, Aunt Therese, Lisa, Randy, Me, Charlie, & the kids. We had so much fun and even got to see Bern & the boys.
We are going back in December.
Love to all!

From a dear friend
One Flaw In Women
Women have strengths that amaze men.
They bear hardships and they carry burdens,
but they hold happiness, love and joy.
They smile when they want to scream.
They sing when they want to cry.
They cry when they are happy
and laugh when they are nervous.
They fight for what they believe in.
They stand up to injustice.
They don't take "no" for an answer
when they believe there is a better solution.
They go without so their family can have.
They go to the doctor with a frightened friend.
They love unconditionally..
They cry when their children excel
and cheer when their friends get awards.
They are happy when they hear about
a birth or a wedding.
Their hearts break when a friend dies.
They grieve at the loss of a family member,
yet they are strong when they
think there is no strength left.
They know that a hug and a kiss
can heal a broken heart.
Women come in all shapes, sizes and colors.
They'll drive, fly, walk, run or e-mail you
to show how much they care about you.
The heart of a woman is what
makes the world keep turning.
They bring joy, hope and love.
They have compassion and ideas.
They give moral support to their
family and friends.
Women have vital things to say
and everything to give.
HOWEVER, IF THERE IS ONE FLAW IN WOMEN,
IT IS THAT THEY FORGET THEIR WORTH.

Friday Fill-In
1. Rain is my favorite summertime smell.
2. My favorite John Hughes movies is, all of them, he was my fave R.I.P.
3. My children (are) is something I love to touch.
4. The full moon is mysterious.
5. My children are whining right now.
6. When daylight fades & it becomes twilight, it is my favorite time of the day, especially on Fridays.
Josh started school this week. His teacher was so happy to see him and he was happy to see her. I love that she gives hugs. I absolutely HATE that some teachers and some schools think hugging is inappropriate. It means so much and there are some children who absolutely need hugs. It may be the only hug they get in a day. Chelsea used to love to hug her teachers and then I think it was like 2nd grade, there was a teacher who did not hug. So I had to explain to her that it was not that she didn't like her, it was just that she didn't hug. It was very difficult for Chelsea to understand and I think it probably hurt her feelings a bit.
So things around here have been a bit difficult. Josh isn't napping because of school and Jake just isn't napping. Evenings around here have been so nice. Ugh. 8pm cannot come fast enough this week.
OK I hear my children getting into something. So I need to investigate.
Ugh, I wanted to write more but you know my kids. 5 minutes and they can take down a town.

How Lucky Am I? (work in progress)
How Lucky Am I?
I am BRCA 2 positive which I likely got from my Mother. The Mother who raised me, loved me unconditionally, is always proud of me, bites her tongue for my benefit, guides me, supports me, and showed me scars and no breasts can be beautiful. She showed me how to face Cancer, how to fight Cancer, how to live as a Cancer survivor.
How Lucky Am I?
My Mother is likely BRCA 2 positive from her Mother, my Granny. A woman who fought Cancer in a time where no one talked about it, her mastectomy scarred her to the bone, concaved her chest, radiation that burned her flesh, and no chance of reconstruction. She taught my Mother how to love, how to be kind, how to embrace scars, no breasts, burn marks, fear, pain, and death with dignity and love. Granny taught me how to love unconditionally as she loved me unconditionally and was the kindest person I ever met.
How Lucky Am I?
My Granny was likely BRCA 2 positive from her Mother, Grandma Fox. A beautiful, kind, and very gentle woman whom I inherited my body type from. She was a progressive thinker yet traditional and had a very heavy Russian accent. She made her way through this country with that accent and I feel lucky to be her descendant.
How Lucky Am I?
I have a sister that is BRCA 2 positive. She has been here with me through my surgeries and chemotherapy. She has seen me lose both breasts and go through a hysterectomy. She is facing a very difficult decision on how she will need to voluntarily and without a disease yet, to deform her body in order to live a longer life and bless us all with her presence for many, many, many years to come.
How Lucky Am I?
I was able to get pregnant 3 times. One natural daughter, one IVF son, and one surprise son. My cancer receptors were both positive for estrogen and progesterone. Maybe taking all of those hormones to get pregnant helped the cancer form. But I have 3 beautiful children.
How Lucky Am I?
I have a husband that I warned before we got married that I would likely get Cancer. He married me anyway. He looks past my scars, he shaved my head for me, he has supported me, and has never once made me feel anything but beautiful and important. Scars, tubes, hot flashes, moodiness, and the ongoing daily issues I endure. He has dealt with it all and still stays put.
How Lucky Am I?
I had a mother-in-law that dropped everything in her life for me, again. When she wasn’t here, she called daily, without missing a day, just to see if I was okay. She laughed with me, cried with me, feared with me, concerned with me.
How Lucky Am I?
I had family members walking in my honor, sending cards and letters of encouragement, calling and thinking of me daily. I will forever love them for the ongoing support and love sent from so far away and from so many different places.
How Lucky Am I?
I had friends and neighbors helping with everything from food, to errands, calls, cards, gifts, flowers, handmade blankets and pillowcases, and unwavering love. I found out who and what real friends are.
How Lucky Am I?
I got Cancer, I am BRCA 2 positive, and I wouldn’t change anything. I have had the most incredible women in my life show me how to live. I have a husband that loves me despite all of my faults. I have 3 gorgeous children! I have friends, family, and neighbors I know I can count on.

Busy, busy and busy! I have been trying to do 2-3 activites a day with the boys. They are bored in the house and driving me and each other crazy.
We go to the Childrens Museum, Barnes & Nobel reading time, Chick Fil A play place, McDonalds Play Place, Peter Piper Pizza, Bounce U, etc and swimming everyday. I have been in the house very little.
Charlie has been leaving for work at 4:30 and home between 7-8pm. He has the large projects due. It has been very tough for everyone. We all miss him so much when he isn't around!
I am also taking over funding research for oue Community Action Program subcommittee. So I have been working on that.
My newsletter for my community is way behind. Frankly I do not have much to say. There is not much going on that isn't depressing. I want to try to keep the newsletter as positive as possible and that seems hard in these economic times. So things are better left quiet I think for a little while.
Chowder is doing awesome. He is so cool!
So much going on! I need to go take a nap so I can work late tonight.
Love to all!

My blood pressure yesterday was 160/115. I had them take it again 148/110. And again 152/113. OK so my BP is way too high. I am about to take it again here at home. I have been dizzy and headachey but I thought it was the medication. Guess not.
Chelsea at the very least insulin resistant, at the worst, diabetic. We are working on that now.
Charlie is stressed beyond words can say. I am worried for him, not helping my BP.
Honestly, things are not so great right now. We are all being pulled in different directions right now. Medically, mentally, financially.
My Dr. is looking over my med records to see if it was possible I needed 6 chemos and not 4. I wonder if I have to do the full 6 or can I just add 2 on?
She is concerned about my bone pain. I am too.
My Mom has to move out of her house. Her landlady is a dork. She found a new place so I am going to go help her move.
Josh took a permanent marker to the house and the cat yesterday.
OK need to go lay down. Hot flashes, killing me!
2. Love is the best medicine.
3. It's late, but I need send Bern's son a graduation gift.

Onc Nurse didn't think the bone thing was anything. Bone pain is better. Skipped Onc appointment, I know bad. I just have no desire to go back. I have such a handful here. I'm finding very little time to do the simpliest things. The kids are more demanding than ever. Even phone calls have become impossible. I am behind on every aspect of my life. I have had to try to keep the kids busy. We do two activities a day. A play place, lunch, swimming in the afternoon. When I take a day off, they fight and destroy the house. So I am doing my best to get them out.
1. She had a great and blessed life.
2. My kids are by my side, always.
3. I know this: my house will continue to be messy until my kids mature.
4. I want another baby still.
5. These words apply to me: lucky, blessed, happy, loved, unorganized.
6. Last week the sun was shining.
7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to working, tomorrow my plans include a movie & dinner with my husband finally and Sunday, I want to shop!

Bone Pain
OK have some scary bone pain. Just called Mayo. They are calling the Dr. & calling me back tonight.
I also called Cancer Center of America which is right here in Avondale. So close! So I am going to see what they can do. Esp. if it is bone cancer!
So let me explain the bone thing. It did not dawn on me until about an hour ago. I was laying down to take a nap and realized that bone is not good! I've had it the last 5 days and didn't think anything of it. In fact, had I really thought about it, I fell down the stairs a few weeks ago & I would have thought it was related. But I did not hurt my back, just my foot and broke my toe.
It is my lower spine, hip, and 3/4 down my femur.
Nervous? You bet!
I'm expecting a call here shortly. It's going to be a busy week with scans and all that jazz. Ugh. Here we go again.

Cats
OK so it seems I've just had bad luck with cats lately. Bentley ran away and never came home. We searched by walking the neighborhood, driving it, putting up signs, checking Craigslist, and he is just gone. He escaped when I was leaving one night. He just ran right out of the garage. Charlie tried to get him but he is so squirrely, he just took off. I am disturbed by it because I do not want him suffering.
So then, I went to my CAP Meeting (which I ran again) and there was a cat there stuck in the duct work. No one would take it, so I did. The second I brought her home she ran out of my car and into my neighbors garage. Luckily they were out and he was able to shoo her out. She took off and I have never seen her again. Sigh. Tried to do the right thing, no luck.
So for Father's Day I got Chowder! We have completely fallen in love with him! Isn't he precious?
So Chowder is our newest family member.
Went to Bunco Monday. Had a total blast! Chelsea won the most Buncos.
OK the boys need me again. I barely have time for anything these days. Sorry for the lack of updates. I thought as they got older, I would have more free time. Not so! I have way less!
So in this economy here is what I have discovered. Everyone is moving! It is so sad! You make friends and then poof, they are gone because of this economy. It is so weird to see the trickle. I hope that my sons don't lose any of their friends as time goes on.
Just got back from Avondale Splash Pad and then McDonalds play yard. I wanted to wear my boys out so I could work. It's been very nice and quiet!
Oh and I misspelled toe below. It has been driving me crazy. I need to fix it. I know toe is toe and not tow. The E and W are close by so it was a typo.
Loving my job so much! They are allowing us Special Agents to do something new and it looks like a blast! I love that we (all 160 of us out of thousands and thousands of agents) are making a difference in this newly formed company. Oh and BTW if you have any questions, 542542!
I am in love with Facebook! Having SO much fun on it! Have made some reconnections from long times past. Still cannot find my Sara :(
OK I will try to come back and post more later.

My friends daughter Breana is out of the hospital after lung surgery.

Pulled Josh out of camp because all they did was sit in this little room all day. I put him into a Sports Camp that starts Monday.
OK sorry, have to go make breakfast.

R.I.P. Otto Burnett
Sadly, on Monday my sister had to put her beloved German Shorthair Pointer, Otto, to sleep. He was 14 years old and she had him since he was a puppy.
Please keep my friend Cynthia in your thoughts and prayers. Her daughter Breana is back at Childrens ICU with pneumonia again.

My friend's Blog
I love when my friends blog. Then I can keep up with them when I cannot see or talk to them because we are all so busy these days.
Yea Mandy! She is blogging now! Check her out!
http://miklus-toomuchtime.blogspot.com/2009/05/my-first-post.html
I wonder if I supposed to spill the beans on her blog. I will ask first and repost the link if I get persmission.
Happy Friday everyone. I will do my Friday Fill-In a bit.
1. If we had no winter I would never live in Phoenix.
2. Animal abuse is a perpetual astonishment.
3. If I had my life to live over I wouldn't change a thing because I would have never met Charlie.
4. I sleep inside of four and twenty hours.
5. If you've never been thrilled wait until you hold your first baby. You'll never be the same again, it is pure love.
6. To be interested in the changing seasons I look forward to the good things about each season.
7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to working, tomorrow my plans include swim lessons, working, and watch my main man Alex and Sunday, I want to shop!
OK so here is a peeve. Why is it when you go to the store, fast food drive through, bank, etc. that they always error on the side of them? Think about it, as many errors as you have seen and encountered how many of us can say that we have had a bonanza in our favor? For instance, this last week we went to a fast food place and they forgot several items. That benefits the company. Why don't we get extra change, extra food, under charged items? Hmph!
Joke: During Church service the small children were invited to stand up infront and to say a short prayer to ask for help for something foranyone besides for themselves. This is one of those heartfelt sweetprayers:
"Dear God: Please send clothes for all those poor women in Daddy's computer. Amen."
Happy Friday everyone! I am taking Josh to school and then napping so I can work late tonight.
Love to all!
Yea Mandy! She is blogging now! Check her out!

So behind!
OK let me catch up a little.
First, please send thoughts and prayers to my friend Cynthia. Her daughter Breana is in ICU at St. Joe's with pneumonia. I called this morning and got a text back but no update. So I am going to bug her again here shortly.
Cynthia was the one who came in week after week and cared for the boy's after my chemo treatments. Her and her parents have been life savers!
Second a huge congrats to my BFF Bern. Her second to her last son David is graduating high school! I got the most beautiful announcement with his handsome photo in it. I cannot believe that young man is about to graduate. How time flies!
Happy Mother's Day to all the Moms, friends, neighbors, and family. I lazed around and had a great Mother's Day!
Addition:
A Newborn's Conversation with God A baby asked God,
"They tell me you are sending me to earth tomorrow, but how am I going to live there being so small and helpless?"
God said, "Your angel will be waiting for you and will take care of you."
The child further inquired, "But tell me, here in heaven I don't have to do anything but sing and smile to be happy."
God said, "Your angel will sing for you and will also smile for you. And you will feel your angel's love and be very happy."
Again the small child asked, "And how am I going to be able to understand when people talk to me if I don't know the language?"
God said, "Your angel will tell you the most beautiful and sweet words you will ever hear, and with much patience and care, your angel will teach you how to speak."
"And what am I going to do when I want to talk to you?"
God said, "Your angel will place your hands together and will teach you how to pray." "Who will protect me?"
God said, "Your angel will defend you even if it means risking its life." "But I will always be sad because I will not see you anymore."
God said, "Your angel will always talk to you about Me and will teach you the way to come back to Me, even though I will always be next to you." At that moment there was much peace in Heaven, but voices from Earth could be heard and the child hurriedly asked,
God, if I am to leave now, please tell me my angel's name."
God said, You will simply call her, "Mom."
Monday was Chelsea's birthday. I had ordered cupcakes in the number 16 with white whipped cream frosting and pink polka dots. So I ran over picked them up, rushed to her school, and surprised her. The class sung Happy Birthday and then I took Josh to school. I think she enjoyed the moment.
Saturday we took Amy and Chelsea to Ah-So. I had a babysitter all lined up. Of course, she flaked on me and bless Mandy, she watched the boy's for us while we enjoyed a dinner. The last time we enjoyed a quiet dinner was when Nicole came over and watched the boy's and we went and saw Kathy Griffin. That was November. Before that, I don't think we have ever had a dinner alone. It was really nice!
Saturday before the dinner Josh had his first swim lesson. I know, it was supposed to be the Saturday before but I got there and the instructor informed me that the lesson was at 9:30 and they forgot to call me to tell me. One good thing came out of it though. I was wearing a Tshirt at the time because I was throughly embarrassed by my hideous appearance in a swimsuit. But there was one other person in the pool who was about my size and his hairy rear was hanging out. So I was thrilled to see him and felt very comfortable getting in the pool in my suit minue tshirt. So thank you hair butt man!
The lesson went well. It was outside because they were cleaning the inside pool. The instructor was filling in for our regular instructor. She was pretty slow and obviously did not know what she was doing. It worked out well though because we went nice and slow and it was what Josh needed.
So my freezer and fridge outside died within days of each other. So Friday the Sears guy came out and I have to replace both. So this weekend we are going to get a new freezer. Ugh.
Monday was Bunco. It was SO much fun and I actually almost won. I tied but lost the roll off. I can't wait for next month's game.
Last night was my CAP meeting. I didn't have to run it this time and it was a great meeting. We have lots of things to do for Buckeye!
Today we are doing haircuts because Josh has a school performance on Monday. I am so excited!
SO much going on! Hence my lack of updates. But I am trying, do I get an A for effort?

Quick update
Chelsea's lymphnode in her neck came back clear! YEA!
Today I went to see my psychiatrist and he told me I have a sleep disorder. Aside from the night terrors we know I have which occur within the first 15 minutes of falling into a sleep, I also have a REM sleep disorder. The REM sleep disorder causes me to wake up and not know where I am. It is a confusion and I feel like I have to leave immediately. So I was given Clonipan. I have heard of but know nothing about it except that it is addictive. Great! So my theory to my Dr. was, why do they make good drugs but do not want anyone to take them?
On a cute note. I took the boy's with me. Charlie met me there so he could watch them. If you have ever been to Mayo Clinic, you will know what I mean. The boy's were looking at the waterfall and Charlie had already passed it. So he was at the other end of the hall. I said "there's Daddy". They both started screaming "DADDY! DADDY!" and they ran down the hall. There must have been about 50 people in the waiting area of scheduling and several others milling around. Everyone was laughing. People were coming out their offices. It was totally cute. Charlie was beet red of course and I was giggling. They love their Daddy!
OK I hear the boy's getting ready to punce on Wall-e (our Roomba).
