Round four...(can you hear my happy dance)

I have my fourth and final round of the "bad" chemo today. Not sure why it gets dubbed the "bad" chemo considering I don't think any chemo is "good".  Dr. Romer says that the next 12 weekly rounds after this round will be easier on my body and I say hopefully easier on my mind. Geesh, I have had to be one tough bitch the last 2 weeks.(I also was not enjoyable to be around at home. Sorry Brad.)  I was a HOT HOT mess after the last round. I felt horrible from Thursday until the following Tuesday. I was beginning to think I was never going to feel better. But Wednesday morning I woke up and felt great. (I thanked God several times that day.)  So I am hoping and praying for a quick and speedy recovery after today's chemo and if not, I still have my big girl pants on and I'll put a smile on my face and tell the little "c" to "suck it".  

My dear sweet friend Lori Clark gave me a hope tree for all of my students to sign. If you know me well, you know that these kids give me strength and hope. So she delivered it yesterday and we had my students from this year and last year sign it.  I love it and every time I had to explain to them what they were signing I started to choke on my words. 

My students have also been asking daily for me to wear Olivia's bright pink wig. So I did today. I was told I look like Pink, Katy Perry, AAANNNDDDDD Nicki Minaj!  I see the resemblance, don't you? See why I love my students!!!  Such honest little people. We also had "try on Mrs. Voss' wig".  The pictures are below. 

Thank you to everyone for the kind words of encouragement. This is such a mental battle. Everything that people send to me makes me that much stronger. Words cannot express how much I appreciate all of it.
