While I had great resolutions and great intentions, this new year hasn't started out the way I've wanted it too. I know things don't always work in our favor but things can truely start to turn around any day now in the positive direction...
It all started out with Tom being sick. And man was he ever sick. He had the typical flu like symptoms. Never good for anyone. Day 2 brought us Tom continuing to be sick. Day 3 brought us Tom and Kira being sick. Thats right...both of them now. And at this point I attempted to stay healthy. I worked so hard to keep sheets and blankets clean to make sure we didn't continue to pass it around our house. Day 4 came...Tom's back to good health somewhat but had absolutely no energy from being wiped out. And ALSO our furance broke. We had to call someone to come and paid them a lot of money to get this special part in and then get it fixed. Day 6 came - so far so good. We're making positive steps in the right direction. Day 7 - Yep...I got nailed with this flu bug! Day 8 - totally out of comission and spent what felt like my entire day in the bathroom. Day 9 - back to life but weak beyond belief. day 10 - well...while I'd like to say that things are starting to look great again, I had my beautiful daughter come tell me her tooth hurt and so I looked and sure enough, she has a loose tooth. Day 11 - well...thats today! I'm a little worried about the immediate future because while I'm feeling "okay", my stomach is a little on the queezy side and its rumbling...ALOT. So we'll see how this day ends!
So now onto more of a positive note...
On the flip side, we had our first volleyball game this past Wednesday!! While we didn't win all 4 of our games, we had an AWESOME time!!!!!! Our team has some close friends of ours and we had fun and managed to win 1 of the games. We were close matched teams and all the games were really close so its not like we totally got creamed but it was a great time anyway. The other team was really fun and we were all having a great time with it!
Tom is flying to Colorado on Sunday for awhile. While I'm very excited for him and very jealous at the same time (i would LOVE to go with him!), I'm nervous as to what the week is going to hold for me and the girls. I'm going to miss his help terribly and going to be both mentally and physically exhausted from my two wonderful daughters! So I need prayer to help get me through the week. Its going to be tough not having a break but I know I can do it. It'll be a great test of my patience and probably leave me stronger in the end. And I'll be trying to prepare for Julia's 1st birthday party that week as well, which may be a bit challenging. :-) We'll see!! Maybe things will go alot smoother and better than i'm predicting!
Well...I have things to get done and work to finish. I have to go call the sedation dentist to possibly check out Kira. (yeah...thats right...sedation dentist. our last dentist experience with Kira was NO GOOD!!)
Hope you're all doing well!!
