Suzanne, Donald and the boys are here, hence the nice day yesterday. I am so happy. Oscar and Angelica are so happy. Zoey, Oddie and Scruffy are so happy. We are all thrilled they are here with us.
I am not a slave to my looks, as you all know. Oscar is so pleased when I change sweatshirts occassionally and don't take him to school 5 days in a row in the same clothes. But I am a bit apprehensive in anticipation of losing my hair. What if my head is shaped funny? What if is not smooth and elegant like Sinéad O'Connor's noggin? Well, the good news is that so far I have not lost any hair. In fact, it's weird. When I shower, none falls out. I ALWAYS lose hair in the shower, don't you? I usually have a bunch come out, especially when I rub in the conditioner. Not lately. Just the opposite. Maybe I will dodge that bullet. Doesn't really matter. I will deal with it if it happens.
I had a dream that I got my eyebrows waxed. You know when they are finished with the painful part and they take that pad with lotion all over it to wipe off the excess wax? In my dream he did that and when he wiped across my brow, he had wiped off ALL my eyebrows. They came completely off and left a smooth, hairless eye area. It was such a vivid dream. And the waxer was a little Vietnamese man. Yeah, I guess that is a sign of anxiety. At least he wasn't naked...neither was I. LOL And what relief I felt to wake and see my uni brow.

Good god, you are funny! "Sinead O'Connor's noggin"-- I have not heard the word "noggin" in quite some time! Have a wonderful Thanksgiving, Maureen! Lori N.
Hi Maureen,
I'll bet you have a nice looking noggin'. I know you are so happy to have your company for Thanksgiving. Have a great time with them and enjoy yourself and let everyone pamper you.
Happy Thanksgiving.
Love, Janet
Funny, I am sure you will have a beautiful noggin. I am sure your dreams are reflective of the anxiety you feel. I am not sure what chemo you are doing at this time? I knoe that not all of the chemos makes your hair fall ot. Mine fell out after my second chemo, that was the adryamiacin/cytoxin(spell check) Not fun, I must say, but actually not that bad. I just went ahead and shaved it all off but not before my family sat around and tried to just pull it out. It is a weird thing to have to go through. Your children are just so beautiful Oscar was very brave at the dentist. My teeth are a mess as in England the Dental Health Care is awful.
Love to you all

Hey, Maureen! Ocsar is very brave! I had two root canals as an adult and wished they'd give me demerol! And I think your head will look good. My Aunt Barbara just shaved hers off when she was going through chemo. She figured she'd lose it anyway, so why not just beat the rush and get rid of it herself.
As for your dream, you know me, I love this kind of stuff. I did a little amatuer analysis and here's what I came up with.
To dream that you are cutting your hair suggests that you are experiencing a loss in strength. Alternatively, you may be reshaping your thinking or ambitions and eliminating unwanted thoughts & habits.
To dream that you are losing your hair, denotes that you are concerned with the notion that you are getting older and losing your sex appeal or virility. Losing you hair also signify a lack of strength. You may be feeling weak and vulnerable.
To notice eyebrows in your dream, represents expressions of amazement, disbelief, surprise, or doubt. It may also indicate concern or disapproval.
Is it too early to call you Captain Stubing (the Love Boat)?
Hey to Suzy and the kids.

Happy Thanksgiving Maureen.

Miss Maureen and Two Legged and Four Legged Shorter Moons Family Members, Your blog redo is simply fabulous. Clean and bright and honest and straight-look-in-the-eye just as the faces and eyes shining out from the new family photo. God what a beautiful family you are, and you Miss Maureen have not only not lost your hairy noggin yet, you look more beautiful than in any of the earlier photos I've seen. Chemo has added a certain luminescence to you! Course you could have used a little moisturizer instead, a bit easier on the skin and most other body parts. Want you to know I am thinking of you and praying for you and your family every day. Be well and may you rest in the hallow of His hand. Much love, Carol AKA Kieran's Mom, AKA Nonna
Hi Maureen,
I don't know you, you don't know me, but I love your blog!! I am friends w/ your neighbor Leslie. I live in Houston & just finished up a year of hell (breast cancer) myself! Hair falling out is not a big deal, it's when it comes back... I look like a scare-crow... but that's okay, it's fall! Ha! You sound so positive! Keep it up!! We can conquer this! Please, if you need anything, get my # from Leslie... I've been through mastectomy, lymph nodes removed, chemo, heart failure, etc.......
Love, Kim
Hello, I hope you all had a good Thanksgiving. Thinking of you Maureen.
Love Barbara
Well......now....I can't wait to see your noggin! And, i know it will be beautiful! I'm so glad you are having such a nice visit with Suzanne and her family!!!
Miss you! Give Oscar and Angelica big hugs from us!Oscar, he's got amazing tough power!

Good morning Maureen,
I hope you had a nice Thanksgiving. I know you enjoyed your family. You are so very lucky to have them! They are lucky to have you all too.
I think you told me that you have a chemo infusion today. I will be praying that the side effects are miminal. As a matter of fact, since I'll be praying anyway, I'll just pray that there are no side effects at all! God wants us to be very specific in our prayers. As always, tell us what you need.
Much Love, Janet
Hello Maureen,
How was your day? Thinking of you.
Love Barbara
