This Week In Review

Well, as you can tell, blogging has not been top priority this week. It has been a crazy week; not that everything was bad, but it was just not "normal".

We had Chris and Emily Sunday thru Wednesday and that kept us pretty busy. I often wonder how families with so many children do their home schooling, and I still do. Trying to help 4 of them kept me moving from one room to another to assist.

Tuesday we had to go to the dentist and after that we went to the library to vote and return a few items. I have so many books right now, it is absolutely ridiculous! I still have two back packs full to return today!!

Wednesday was basically normal after the kids were picked up by Milan about 4:30 with church activities.

Thursday started as a normal day, but my brain was done. We sat down to do our bookwork, and I couldn't see straight, and couldn't focus at all. We did our devotion and I voted for bed. So, about 11:30 Kyle woke me up and I got ready to go to the store. (I knew I wouldn't have time on Friday with all the things planned..little did I know that would all change) After the shopping, I realized I had nothing for next weeks Konos, so we went back to the library and I worked out a plan. We will be studying birds for the next couple weeks.

That leads us to Friday..... started out normal; got up and ready for Bible study, headed out the door, got to fellowship, and started enjoying the lesson. I was really clueless why Pastor asked me to get my stuff.... Well, the long story short is Kyle has a broken collar bone. He has a splint, immobilizer, and pain meds. Nothing can really be done for this bone except give it time to heal. We do have an appt. with an orthopedic doctor on Monday at 1, so we will see what happens then.

Today we will be stopping at the library (again), going to my sisters, and then home. I am hoping to get some things done this afternoon, but we will see how things go.

Oh, and the dog. Honestly, she has been pretty good this week and it learning her boundaries. Someone forgot to close Kyle's bedroom door yesterday, so while she was squirrel watching, she "ate" some more of the blanket and sheet.....

Thank you to everyone who has prayed, called, and emailed about Kyle. We sincerely appreciate your concern. A big thanks to Cheryl O. for picking up Beth from the hospital to go salamander hunting (that's another story). She even brought us some bananas while we were waiting in the ER! Thanks to Jayne for letting Boston out, so we didn't have any surprises to come home to. We are truly blessed with a wonderful, loving church family.

The good news is it's a new day!
(or week in your case) I think if you took up walking with a friend it may release a little of the stress... :) Love ya!

I'm glad that Kyle is on the mend. Just think, next week should be a piece of cake after last week. I'll keep you guys in my prayers.

I'm thankful Kyle is ok. It has been a busy week. We will soon start a new "beginning" on Monday morning. I'm praying for you.

Wow, what a week you had! Thank you so much for keeping my kids while I was in the hospital. I had given my husband very specific "orders" not to bother anybody at church to keep the kids -- but he said "they insisted!" I was mad at him, but we all know we're not supposed to give our husbands orders! Anyway, thank you so much for doing that. I hope Kyle heals up quickly!
