Whew! Today has also been a pretty huge whirlwind like yesterday. It started a bit hard with the kids. Some rushing and fighting on their way out the door. Quite exhausting. Then Brady had a hard time with some of his morning routine so that adds a layer of pressure to some things. Not his fault, obviously, but I’m trying to say it was not a smooth first couple of hours. Doesn’t help that a kid woke me up at 4am to let me know they had a mosquito bite. I’m SO tired, guys, I can barely put it into words.
Once the kids left, Cher came to join us for coffee and she brought me a birthday gift from her mama!!! Isn’t this SWEET?!
A little ghosty lamp! ACK! I love it SO much. A definite bright spot in the day, both literal and figurative!
We went to the doctors this afternoon to have our family doctor talk to us about the infection Brady is brewing. The on-staff nurse came as well and we all talked infection, packing, wounds, etc. We have a great home care situation right now, but our doctor was really happy to see it person and make sure all was looking good and that he was on the mend. We did, however, bring all three little ones to that appointment, which wasn’t a bad thing, but definitely made the whole thing a bit more hands on and rowdy. There were only really tears at the end and they were quickly mopped up with the promise and subsequent delivery of stickers.
Before going home, we went to pick up medical supplies for Brady. Another high point was discussing something we have been using that isn’t quite working well, and finding an alternative! Hopefully, anyway! 🤞 Felt encouraging. I tried to leave but we forgot something and went back.
And then we finally went home. Kids were home from soccer. I got the babies down for a late nap. Unpacked a very small grocery order. Texted a social worker. RSVPed for an event. Started writing this blog. Made a few plans and listened to a lot of stories. Re-ordered some groceries that were substituted and were not appropriate substitutions. Put rice on. Flipped the ham in the crock pot. Shed a few tears.
Aaaaand finished this blog.
😅😂😭
Goodness guys, these days are long. Come on, sleep!!! Show UP for me!
