We woke up Saturday morning to the sound of rain. Oh sweet rain! So the girls and I introduced ourselves to Steve Koeman. The poor man's been gone for 2 weeks :) He still had work to do but that meant he was home by afternoon. Last week was a little rough with the girls being sick and it seems mom gets taken advantage of when dad is gone. Either that or mom gets tired and just doesn't care anymore :) But a few days with dad home and we are back into our "Team Koeman" mode. The girls are healthy. Macy has started talking in sentences which totally makes me laugh and Brooke is standing up next to everything. She has also learned how to turn the TV off and disconnect the cable. Our front room is done and that is now our family room. My brother came and hooked up our cable and Internet. Brooke's crib is out of our dining room. The girl actually has a little space of her own. Today Megan got her cast off. All in all, a productive week.
Tomorrow is remove George the goiter day. Good riddins George!! People keep asking if I am ok, and I really am. I have my own way of dealing with "issues." Not sure it's the right way or healthy but it works for me. I just keep busy. Keep going, don't stop except to sleep. I have my lists made and schedule down. My hardest challenge is Brooke. Actually I dug that hole myself :) I like to be in "control." So I've always done her meds and most of her care. So to think about losing control makes me a little batty :) I owe my mom and dear husband A TON for letting me be my crazy self and just waiting to step in and take over when I can't do it. But they let me try. (They must really be laughing at me). I however believe in positive thinking. I was brought up being told I could be WHATEVER I wanted to be and go where ever I wanted to go. I still have that mind set. (Thanks mom and dad) So I think I will be just fine. Nothing a few pain meds and a scarf can't handle. God has a plan all laid out. So worrying about it won't change the plan, only cause me grief. Steve and I learned over a year ago to give everything to Him. We gave Him our daughter fully, and He gave her back. He is still healing her and teaching us daily to trust in Him and not fret the small stuff. This is an inconvenience but our time frame isn't His time frame. Since He's more important, I'll stick with Him. Thanks for the prayers! Thanks also for all the meals and my friend who set up a schedule and wouldn't take no for an answer. I do need help but I STRONGLY dislike having to be taken care of :) So I will try and get over myself and we'll keep ya posted after surgery. Thanks all! God is so good!!!!!!!!!!!
