Keri's Back in Motion

This week I feel like I am actually back from chemotherapy. I'm me again! I don't nap anymore, I am getting regular household things done (grocery shopping, cooking, cleaning, playing with the kids more), and my mind is back to pre-chemo power. I am so happy! It was an adjustment in itself to come back into fully functional life.

We've made a few changes in our eating and are feeling good about it. Still have some more things to change regarding that but all in good time. Also, we are fully aware there are some things we are not willing to change. Overall we are eating a lot more vegetarian meals and whole grains. And my new love--Greek yogurt! Oh so good!

During chemo and during my "adjustment" period out of chemo, some very awesome ladies let me be part of a co-op preschool for Sophie without taking my teaching turn until I was totally well--which was this week! We did a dinosaur theme and I planned stuff like gluing an AB patten of dinosaur plates on a stegosaurus' back, making dinosaur egg shakers, playing dinosaur tag (meat eater catching plant eaters) and a bunch of other activities. It was really fun for me and the kids seemed to equally enjoy it. I don't get to teach again until the week of Valentine's which will include a party.

I was just feeling really happy and grateful for feeling better and wanted to let everyone know!
