Busy

Today was long.  I took the car to get fixed.  I went to the bank - three times.  I went to the post office.  I had an appointment and took Miracle to her appointment.  I picked up the car.  I went to the store.  I held a sleepy baby.  I did dishes.  I am thankful I was able to accomplish so much today. (#396) I am also beyond tired.  Tomorrow is only the second long day in a very long week.  This whole month is busy.  Please pray that I have endurance for the weeks ahead.  

My Day - #394 &395

Today I had the privilege of going to a Senior piano recital and graduation party. (#394) I also had the opportunity to talk to some friends. (#395) Then I came home and napped for three hours before stuffing envelopes with graduation invitations.  Now it's off to bed because tomorrow and all of next week is crazy busy.  Hopefully I will have the health necessary to accomplish all that must be accomplished this next week. 

My Day - #388-393

Today was good.  The weather was nice. (#388) I was able to help a friend. (#389) The girls and I all accomplished quite a few chores. (#390) Angelica finished her homework early enough that we were able to sit together and watch a favorite show. (#391) I thank God for the little moments that make life good (#392) and for the perspective to see them. (#393)

Smiles

Today I am thankful for smiles on both my girls' faces.  (#387)

My Day - #382-386

Today started with Angelica taking Miracle to two appointments while I rested. (#382) I don't know what I would do without her help.  Then she took me to an appointment and both girls did some grocery shopping. (#383) Sounds like I have two amazing daughter's doesn't it? I am truly blessed. (#384) After coming home, Angelica went downstairs to watch the little girls and Miracle kept working on her dress while I rested.  I talked to the insurance adjuster today and the final settlement for the accident should come within the next week or so. (#385) We also received word that Miracle's doctor has communicated with the DMV who approved her petition to drive! (#386) The girls may go in tomorrow morning to get Miracle's licence.  While I was napping, Angelica left for class and Miracle went down to watch the little girls.  Then I traded places with Miracle so she could work on her dress some more.  Now Angelica is finishing up the babysitting and Miracle and I are finishing up the changes to Miracle's dress for tomorrow's formal.  Please pray that I have the physical strength to face tomorrow with two girls getting ready for Spring Formal and watching the little ones until late. 

My Day - #376-381

Today I am thankful for Internet and Pinterest that are both helping me plan a graduation ceremony for my oldest daughter. (#376) I am thankful that she is graduating; that she is physically healed from the brain injury that threatened to rob her of this opportunity, (#377) that she is emotionally capable of facing the next stage of her life, (#378) and that she developed a love of learning by the end. (#379) 

I am thankful that I was able to accomplish quite a few things today. (#380) Specifically I spent about two hours on the phone.  

I am also thankful that I was able to nap twice today. (#381) Not so thankful that I needed to, but definitely thankful that I was able to.  Adjusting to my new normal with this disease is emotionally difficult.  It seems that each time I become accustomed to a new place, my health deteriorates a bit more.  Maybe that constant state of deterioration is what I need to adjust to.  Not being able to do much saddens me and I have friends that tell me this isn't what God wants for me but I'm not so sure.  I know that if He chooses to, He can heal me completely but I also know that He could have a reason for allowing this disease in my life, a means to bring Him glory that could not be accomplished in another manner.  Ultimately, I am thankful that I can trust a sovereign God knowing that He will do what is best for me. (#381)

My Day - #373-375

I saw the doctor today and she prescribed me antibiotics.  I am thankful for both and that I have insurance to cover them. (#373-375)  Honestly that and going to the store to pick up meds and a few groceries is all I accomplished today.  I am really tired of being sick. Maybe with the meds I'll start feeling better soon.
