Over my lifetime I have found one word that strikes fear in me to my very core. CANCER! I hate that word. I hate what it means and what it does to people and families.
Today my Dad is going to have his prostate removed. I just want to cry. I know he will be ok and that it is a very curable cancer but I hate it just the same. Today will be filled with praying and distractions.
Silver lining: I have seen amazing miracles where cancer is involved. My amazing sister who is one of the strongest people I know has beaten cancer and I am so thankful she did, life wouldn't be the same without her or any of my family. I am so very thankful for family.

It was an honor
I have heard these word from Movie stars and pop artists and have thought they didn't really mean it. Well the Nerd Herd was nominated for the think award yesterday at state, and I think it was an honor just being nominated. Getting third before the finals was an amazing accomplishment.
It was also an honor to watch our team get out there and battle and work hard and not get discouraged and just keep trying. It got a little brutal in the finals, we were smashed and bashed quite a bit and me as a Mom was a little perturbed but if the tide had changed I would have been all for our bot doing more pushing so that being said I am very glad we got this opportunity.
Things we need to remember. Human nature is to win no matter what.....even if we think it isn't nice. So be tough. Don't give up and give it your all. Be gracious in the winning and the losing, something the Nerd Herd does very well. The number one thing though would be to Have Fun!
Thank you Sid and Chan Hei, Dan and all the parents for all the hours and hours of service to our kids. Thank you for teaching them that learning is fun and that they can do it. Can't wait to see what next year brings!
