What a busy week . . . and it's only Tuesday!

This week has been full and beautiful. It started on Sunday. The weather was great. Brent and I were able to get some yard work done - some much needed yard work done. I wasn't feeling too good after the yard work, I don't think my body was ready for what I put it through just yet. After the yard work was done, we decided it would be great to pull out the BBQ and grill out for the evening. We did just that. It was so relaxing. Kaylee was laying out in the sun and playing with the dog. Brent and Taylor were playing baseball and I just sat back and enjoyed my family. It was nice to enjoy the day and forget our stresses - even if only for a few hours.

Monday was interesting. Not quite as relaxing as the day before but just as beautiful and warm. I got the kids off to school, Brent off to work and then I started to work. I wasn't feeling good and something just didn't seem "right." I left work early and called the doctor. They squeezed me in, thank goodness . . found out that I was so dehydrated that they were worried about me even driving. Because of my surgery, I am not able to drink large amounts of fluids at one time, instead I have to drink small amounts all day and pray that it adds up to a large enough amount. The doctors and I decided to not have an IV put in and try other options first to avoid another large medical bill, knowing that it would only add to the stress we are in right now. I am still not 100% today, but I am doing better. I also did a lot of research yesterday to try and help out a situation that I am in. I can't really discuss anything yet, however I was able to find an attorney that is wanting to help me and I will meet with him today when I get off of work. That alone was a HUGE sigh of relief.

Today started out AMAZING! Anyone with kids knows how hard mornings can be getting them off to school . . . well, today both kids woke up on time. Showered. Had breakfast. Got dressed and ready for the day. Made their beds. Made lunches. There was no arguing, fighting, screaming or crying. They were even done early enough to watch Curious George this morning before the bus came. In the midst of the kids being perfect angels this morning, I was able to start the dishwasher, get laundry in (I am folding the last load now) and figure out dinner. All before 7:30am. I was amazed. I can only hope that with a day that started off so perfectly that it will end just the same - with a great meeting with the lawyer and a resolution in sight.
