One trimester down; two to go. I am officially through my first trimester and have a sense of relief. I have woken up the last few days feeling better than I have in the last month, but I am more tired now. I think that all my energy has funneled to controlling the nausea and keeping myself from throwing up! It has been a difficult and tiring task. It has all seemed to catch up with me lately. God knew I would need to be feeling better though....
Two weeks in a cast....My 7 year old spent the day in doctors offices yesterday. He hurt his foot at a birthday party Tuesday night and is now in a light blue foot cast. It was hard to send him off to school today. I stood watching him hobble on his large foot from the car to the school building. Part of me just wanted to keep him home again today; but he is tough, and he wanted to get back to doing things on his own. The hardest part is that he will have to sit out the rest of the soccer season and a couple weeks from Tae Kwon Do. While it is hard to see him struggle, I am so proud of his bravery!
Eric, my 10 year old, has seen this as a challenge for him to step up and help out even more. I am so proud of him. He's not complained or gotten frustrated. I can hear his sweet voice saying, "sure, Mom! I'll be right there" or " okay, Joel. I'll get it for you!"
Two weeks of school left and we can all relax a little bit. Everyone here is looking forward to summer break, summer weather, and summer fun.
We've spent lots of time counting down lately to the things we'd rather be doing. Sometimes looking forward gets us through the tough times of the present.
