Susan Turned 60 on May 5, 2011
In case you didn't know, she had her big round of chemo on May 4th! Yep this is how mom does chemo! She says.. "nothing is getting in the way of my birthday". She came home, popped a corona, took a nap and woke up 60 and ready to party and kick cancer in the ass! On her birthday she went to work for a bit and came home early to party on the patio w/ her sister Lisa, me and the boys and friends Cindy and Adrienne! The Party didn't stop there...we still had Thursday, Friday and Saturday and rolled it into Sundays Mothers Day too! Friday I went to Relay for Life and made sure all of moms luminaries were lit. That was an amazingly positive and uplifting event. Lots of encouraging stories and survivors! Saturday mom and Lisa watched the boys and we hung on the patio once again. Sunday we had a wonderful Mothers Day brunch at Chicagos w/ lots of friends. Sunday afternoon Scip, Jenn, the girls, Bob, Karen and Gabe all joined us for surf and turf dinner and drinks on the patio! Fantastic day. Then Tuesday was Mikes birthday and we continued celebrating on the patio with family and friends once again. Cindy, Judy and Ron joined us. Wednesday Lisa took off for home and mom had her Day 8 chemo treatment! She was back at work the next day! She will be giving Rock Star lessons at next years Relay for Life! Happy 60th Mom!
