Thanks ladies for you encouragement . Y'know yesterday when I posted I was feeling so overwhelmed. After I posted I went to the kitchen to clean up. I was scrubbing a pan that I burned supper in two nights ago. (It was STILL sitting there). When I realized what a fool I was. I thought of two of my friends who are going through some hard times.
My friend J- homeschooling her 6 boys, ages 16 to 4. A few weeks ago her husband is diagnosed with cancer in his kidney and there are some suspicious spots on his lungs. He had his kidney out (second kidney seems fine). Then they did tests on his lungs and yes it is also cancer. They are out of town right now seeing specialists to decide what to do.
Then there's my friend T - homeschooling her 5 kids ages 10 and down. Her youngest was born with a deformed foot and ankle. He is starting to pull up to stand and they have realized that his ankle will never support his wieght. They had to make the hard decision to amputate his foot so that he will be able to get a prosthesis (sp?). Can you imagine having to make the decision to voluntarily amputate your childs foot?!? It is the best decision, he will now be able walk, but it is a hard one.
And here I am whining and feeling overwhelmed!!!!!!! Excuse me? Just who do I think I am?!! |

Don't be hard on yourself! Just say some prayers of thankfulness (and then some for your friends!). Which I'm sure you have done w/out my prompting! :-)
