Bald Woman Bouncin'!!
If you would have been in the right place at the right time this past week, you would have seen this bald woman bouncing! It's true, and perhaps I should be embarressed, but it's been fun:
--the evening after my Taxol treatment, our Bible class had a family night at a Gymnastics Sport Center. Not only only did I get into the sponge pit and back out again--which, may I add, was the greater feat--I also bounced down the tramp ramp a couple times. It may not have been pretty, nor was it as impressive as the Mom who did the forward flip, but I was definitely bald woman bouncin'!
--the girls have had swimming lessons this week and last. I got into the pool with them (since it is a parent-child class and both girls are enrolled) and have been bouncing around with them. It has been fun, and especially gratifying to see Annaleigh be really afraid but try anyway.
--I am a little disappointed that I have not been able to shed my turban in the water. It would be so freeing! But there is just something about it and I can't get comfortable in that public setting. It started with making sure others were comfortable around me; now it is just my inability to take the plunge into visable baldness. However, the good news is, my terry turbans work great, stay on, and wash up easily.
--I attempted to climb up the slide at McDonald's playland to rescue Ellabeth. Couldn't quite make the final inches to reach her, but fortunately my defeat was hidden inside the tubes (only to be displayed to all here :-) ). Gave me a good laugh, and we did get her down.
--Last night, while the girls played after swimming lessons, Mark and I played volleyball. We are definitely not ready to join any leagues, but we had the gift of some fun, good husband-wife time, and it felt good to be active.
All this is to say...what? One, this gives you an indication of how I am doing on the Taxol. I might have done some of it on the AC, but not enjoyed it as much. Two, this gives you some idea as to why the blogging absence. Three, to indulge myself in smiling again. Afterall, I WAS a bald woman bouncin'!
