Today is Jareds birthday, last Sunday was Konnors birthday. All together it is kinda a crazy end of the month. Today was frustrating but its all okay now. The reason why it was frustrating is because our house was a mess and I needed to make dinner after church then make cake for Jared's b-day and have the house cleaned before family came over and you know when its your birthday you kinda don't have to do much.. like chores, so I felt like I had to be super woman doing alllllll of the everything so Jared could just have a day off (playing *DAMN* batman) and it wasn't that cool. ps I don't like the batman game, but that's another blog post that I'm gonna not write. So eventually he was a good husband and tried to help tidy up and even vacuumed on his birthday, poor jared... And we had family over and it all went smoothly except pearl running away and me chasing after her to Monroe, it was a nice night for a run. I put too much cocoa in the frosting so it was too chocolaty but the cake seemed to do well for substituting some oil for butter, and margarine spread for the other part of the butter.
My emotions have been all over the landscape today if you haven't noticed. Today at church the husband of a lady in my ward let me know that his wife would be calling me for a haircut, and that the situation was that she has cancer and she wanted to donate her hair (its pretty long) because she would be starting chemo soon and would be loosing it. When I went to sit down by Jared I just lost it, I have no idea what cancer she has and what the circumstances are, but I could not stop crying. She is really one of the most selfless people I know, I can't even think of a time that she has said anything bad about anyone else, and I cut her hair so usually I hear about stuff like that. She really is completely a good, good person. I seems like all of the really great people who have done nothing to warrant any bad luck end up with cancer. Am I so weird for bawling? I'm really not sure.. I had an uncle die from cancer, another uncle is a survivor of brain cancer, a best friends dad die from cancer, an aunt survive breast cancer. I feel like I have a preview of what the months to come with chemo and everything that comes along with it (kind of) entails and it breaks my heart that her and her family will have to endure it. Don't I sound hopeless, good grief, all will go how its supposed to but I can still feel sorrow.
