I feel like each day is just melting into the next right now! I was SUPER exhausted today after helping out as much as I could getting the boys ready for school...I am so glad that I did though, made me feel like I was doing at least SOME mommy stuff.
So Joel went to school and Connor went to playgroup and sat in bed and healed...that is the goal right now :-)
Later on tonight we did Family Home Evening and did a lesson on Service. Connor has been pretty wacky so he didn't pay attention too much, but I did show him a picture and he was able to tell me the person in it was Jesus...I will take what I can get right now. Joel listened pretty well and helped pick up books and put some gel pads back in my mother-in-law's shoes for her as an act of "service" it was pretty cute.
Then we went and took a bag of hospital supplies (supplies that people need but don't think about, but since I have been 6 times now I have a pretty good idea what people will want) to a friend who is having open heart surgery on Friday. Joel gave him the bag, we talked for a bit, and then we left. I started crying in the car as I told David that it isn't fair what our frail bodies have to go through. It isn't fair to get cut open and have scars and pain...so tonight, friends, I am praying for our friend from church. That his body stays strong. Eeven though my surgery doesn't even come close to what he is going through, it is still scary to meet the doctors and anesthesiologist and go into that cold room to get a mask placed over your face...time and time again for me. I do feel a connection to this man...he is going to have to wake up, feel pain, and want to know how the surgery went...that is all the same. I am praying for him on my blog tonight that all goes well and that the angels watch over him...that is my happy thought for tonight...that he will be protected during his surgery by loved ones from above. Time to head back to bed to heal some more!
