If you are checking in for test results, join the club. We don’t really have them and we wont really have them until Friday. We have had some preliminary good news and some preliminary “won’t know until the MIBG” news and all I can tell you is that I HATE this stupid ass disease. I could use a pep talk if any of you want to send some comment love. I’ll take bad jokes or limericks too. Or favorite bad movie quotes. Really, anything to get my mind off of cancer for a bit.

OK, funny movie quote from me.
“I don’t know what to say, so I’ll just say what’s in my heart… Baboom, Baboom, Baboom.”
Ok, and a Family Guy quote:
“Hey, mother, I come bearing a gift. I’ll give you a hint. It’s in my diaper and it’s not a toaster.”
Hang in there.
xoxoxo
Jessica – best wishes to you as you move through the next few weeks with tests, scans and procedures 🙂
Ask and you shall receive on something to take your mind off this disease….it is the holiday season and you have kids so I thought you might enjoy a few jokes!

I can quote MYSELF from my comment in the last post–I said RIGHT instead of WRITE. What is WRONG with me?
And also, my favorite Days of Our Lives soap opera quote (No, I don’t watch it now, just in college)
“What kind of diabolical scheme are you trying to perpitrate upon me you wicked woman?!”
I’m so sorry. But um…hey! Get this–my “word verification” word is blesses. Just sayin’
Here’s my favorite bad joke: Why does a chicken coop have two doors?
Because if it had four doors it’d be a chicken sedan! haha….
Anyway, I’m praying for Tuesday and I hope you get good news very soon. 🙂
Praying for you!
Here’s a joke that’s one of our girls’ favorites:

I know, I know…. that’s a horrible one! But it’s the first one that always pops into my head b/c it’s the only one I hear all the time! Take care!
Hey Jessica –
It was so good to see you guys today – twice in a week! Not that I am glad that any of us are here, but seeing new friends does kind of break up the day a bit.
I don’t have a bad joke or anything, but after the day I have had with little Miss Ellie’s crying fits (bless her heart, I know she’s only 3) – the lines from the Grinch movie come to mind. 🙂
Oh the noise – oh the noise, noise, noise noise!!! If there’s one thing I hate (aside from this horrible disease) it’s the noise, noise, noise, noise!
Well, we are praying for Tuesday and for all of you as you await these test results – not a fun thing!
Take care –
Janice
tough crowd to follow…but here is a fave joke in our house right now…
how do you make a tissue dance?
put a little boogie in it!
Jessica,
We think of you often and check the blog regularly for updates (when we are not getting them from Pat). My friend, Amity, is apparently going to be your social worker at the hospital. She cannot talk with me about you, but I told her to take extra good care of you.
As far as jokes go, I’ll keep looking. I was just reading Real Simple magazine that had a to do list of Annie Oakley written that included:
-Get my gun.
-Go see what Frank is doing.
-Do it better.
It caused me to smile and think about a bumper sticker that a friend fighting cancer had that said, “FIGHT LIKE A GIRL”. That is what Tuesday is doing every day.
Take good care of you and the rest of the family. Good wishes, prayers, and love are coming your way.
Libbi Palmer (Pat’s sister)
I have my own good news I can share… Not sure if that makes things better or worse. Chris is coming home, he will be in Colorado late tomorrow or early Wed.

How about a Christmas Vacation quote?
“Every time Catherine would turn on the microwave, I’d piss my pants and forget who I was for about half an hour.” ~ Eddie

Saying lots of prayers here daily. I just KNOW that Tuesday has kicked cancer in the butt. have faith Jess!
Much love always!
~Debi
i have been thinking of you and your family so it’s nice to see a post from you. thank for that. sending you and your family healing prayers everyday.
so you need a little distraction? something to laugh at? something to gawp at? i’m more than happy to oblige.
i’ll put my parenting on the chopping block for you and hope it gives you something to smile over and not see me with disdain. ‘cos you really could. many a parent would, i’m sure of that.
ahem.. cough, cough. here goes.
i have allowed my two year old son to take the following items to bed with him because he is very attached to them and i’d rather not take on the battle of prying the said item from his hands when i’m more interested in getting my butt a comfy spot on the sofa for the nights end.
so without further ado. the items
-:
1) A twelve fl. oz bottle of pepsi — because he liked to see the air bubbles move around when he shook it and rolled it about.
2) An old toothbrush because he liked to chew on it when he had new teeth coming in.
3) And perhaps the worst of them all…A dog toy. Yes. I let my son take a partially used, but as good as new, dog toy to bed. Tonight. Why? Because he liked to watch it bounce off the floor and roll it around in his hands. I figured as soon as his weary head hits the mattress the dog toy will simply roll out of his precious little hand and get lost in his swaddle of blankets. It’s not really that big a deal, is it?
Take care, take heart and embrace all the comment love. You got it in spades and I am thinking of you everyday, as so many others out there are too. You have a beautiful family and have given such a gift by sharing your experiences. I am sure you’re an inspiration and loving support to many strangers, family and friends.
Here’s hoping and praying for really good news on Friday.
Hoping you get great news very soon!
You can laugh at my expense. You know Miss Abbie, apparently even duct tape is now not enough to keep her diaper on her during naps and you know what that means. Yep, fun times cleaning up, ewwwww! Seriously, why does the girl have to be so determined? I wish I could include a picture of her smugness, as she likes to give me such a smug look when I discover her until she sees the look on my face 😉 What an imp! Then the dramatic wail of “sorriness” begins with our favorite breath holding. Can’t wait to get our 4 girls together, hopefully someday soon, oh the trouble they’ll find 😉
Love ya and sending huge HUGS!
Do you like bad puns? About elephants? Good!
Q: What’s the difference between an elephant and peanut butter?
A1: An elephant doesn’t stick to the roof of your mouth.
A2: If you don’t know, I’m not sending you to the store for peanut butter!
Q: What’s the difference between elephants and grapes?
A: Grapes are purple.
Q: What did Tarzan say when he saw the elephants coming over the hill?
A: Ooh, here come the elephants over the hill!
Q: What did Tarzan say when he saw the elephants coming over the hill wearing dark glasses?
A: Nothing, he didn’t recognize them.
Q: What did Jane say when she saw the elephants coming over the hill?
A: Oooh, look at all those grapes. (Jane is colorblind.)
Q: Why did the elephant paint his toenails red?
A: To hide in the strawberry patch.
Q: What time is when the elephant sits on the fence?
A: Time to get a new fence.
Q: How do you know there’s been an elephant in the refrigerator?
A: Look for tracks in the butter.
Q: How many elephants can you fit into an VW Bug?
A: Five, three in the back, two in the front.
Q: What sits in a tree, is gray, and goes bang-bang-bang?
A: An elephant with a machine gun.
(Most of these came from a joke book, sorry I didn’t make them up! I love that book. Used it as source material for a persuasive speech in college about “why elephants make good pets.” Ah the good ol’ days . . .)
Hey Cute Jess and Charley and the rest a yas! If you are available tomorrow, how does huevos at Pegasus sound? Just after drop off?
Here is a cute one. I googled clean jokes (this is a family affair after all…) so I can’t take credit. I’ll tell you a dirty one if you show up in the morning.
Love, Prayers, Laughs and all,
Laurie and the Probsdorfers
Children and Childbirth
The baby was coming way too fast so the paramedics were called. To make it worse, when they arrived, there was a power outage. The paramedics asked the four year old sister to hold the flashlight for them.
Despite the difficulties, all went well and the mother delivered a baby boy. The paramedic smacked him on the behind and he began to cry.
Looking over at the wide eyed little girl, the paramedic asked her what she thought about what she had just witnessed. She said, “That naughty boy should have never crawled in there. Spank him again!”
Um, I will do a little Anchorman…
Brick: Yeah, there were horses, and a man on fire, and I killed a guy with a trident.
Ron Burgundy: Brick, I’ve been meaning to talk to you about that. You should find yourself a safehouse or a relative close by. Lay low for a while, because you’re probably wanted for murder.
I don’t know if you have ever seen this movie and found it funny. Hope so or the quote may look kinda’ asinine. In that case, you can just laugh at me. Hugs.
Hey Jess, all you have to do is think of putting up your Christmas tree and how happy the kids were and the smiles on their faces and all the love in that room and I am sure you heart will be filled with joy. It was such a beautiful picture.
One of my favorite quotes from a movie is from Gone With The Wind when Miss Prissy said to Mrs Scarlett ” Why Miss Scarlett I don’t no nuthin about birthin no babies”
Lift your head up girlfriend and put on your big girl panties,nuthins coming your way but good news.
Love, Aunt SuSu
Just started reading your blog, thanks to Leah (t h a i t r a i t). So here’s a bad joke that always makes me smile. Hopefully it will do the same for you.

Maybe this will help!

I just said a prayer for Tuesday. I hope you get good news soon. I know you’re so sick of all of this. Here’s a bad joke to lighten the load a bit..
Three lunatics attempting to escape from a mental hospital; the first one passes the guard, makes a sound of a cat, and continues. The second one does exactly the same, meowing like a cat, and gets out, too. The third then passes near the guard and yell, “I’m a cat, too!”
Thinking about and praying for you, as always, Jess.
I’m not very good at remembering movie quotes, but here’s the one that sticks in my head (from the classic ‘When Harry Met Sally’):
“But I’m gonna be 40!”
“When?”
“Someday!”
“In EIGHT years!”
“Yes, but it’s out there!”
Has nothing to do with anything, but it’s about all I can do in the movie quote arena, except for this one:
“Brothers don’t shake hands…brothers HUG!” (from ‘Tommy Boy’ with Chris Farley)
Good thoughts, good thoughts.
Love,
Kristy
I’m drawing a blank. I can’t think of anything witty to say or even a joke to pass along. How about something that’ll blow your mind (as it’s doing to me)? We’re doing our second transfer with #2 on Friday. Sounds like we’ll both be in need of some prayers.
Love you guys!
Just found your site and will be following your story of certain good news! Your family will be in our prayers!

Hey JK – I’m thinking about and praying for you guys now more than ever…I know that we are all praying for good results and we are going to get them on Friday. As far as jokes:
What do you call a cow with no legs?
Ground beef
and
Why doesn’t a canibel eat clowns?
They taste funny
I know I know…those are terrible, but you did say bad jokes right?
There was a young girl from Rabat,
who had triplets, Nat, Pat and Tat;
It was fun in the breeding,
But hell in the feeding,
When she found she had no tit for Tat.
This cracked me up!! I think you and your family are AMAZING!! Love, hugs and prayers from Oklahoma!
Jessica Carson (Jennifer Neeley’s sister)
First time visiting, from A Day in Rhonda’s Life. I am overwhelmed. I have no jokes. But wanted you to know you’re in my prayers.
