Part 2 is Done

Tonight I am exhausted! The past two days have felt like a whirlwind of business and craziness. Add in some good fresh air time and the stress of blood work and you get one pooped out Mommy. Maggie and I went to gymnastics and seemed to get all of yesterdays errands done. Plus we had our lovely crisis where we thought we lost her medical bracelet. This meant rewalking our whole path in Target and driving back to gymnastics (which was a madhouse with after-school classes). The bracelet was found in the car and had fallen out of my purse as I was trying to reach my phone. Lesson is "Don't talk on the phone while driving because you will do goofy stuff like drop the bracelet".

After all that and a trip to Giant Eagle to pick up dinner, I still had a night full of work to do. I am very grateful for my new positions on parish council but I had approximately an hour of work to do for them. I needed to make a menu and grocery list for this morning. Not to mention the basic stressing out that I normally due before any kind of medical test. I think I fell asleep at around 1 in the morning.

Today was another crazy one as Ricks and I dropped Maggie off at her cousins. We then went to do his bloodwork (7 vials worth), run back to Target and go to Whole Foods. My Little Man was done by the time we returned home. I made lunch and finally sat down for a minute. As soon as Rick got home he put Ricky down for nap and I went to the grocery store. I hurried home and put the groceries away so I could pick up the Mags. After picking up Maggie and getting Ricks up from nap we finally got to relax.

I took the kids outside and they played for 2 hours before dinner. We enjoyed hot dogs and sausages from the grill for the first time this year. It was finally bath time, quiet time and bed time. Maggie was so tired she could barely walk and spent a lot of time whining. I think all of us are exhausted.

So the 2nd part of the test is done. I can forget that part and move on. It was good to have time to stop and watch Ricks play this afternoon. It was a good reminder that he is a strong, healthy boy. This knowledge helps me hand over my worries to God and move one. I can be present in his joy and happiness.

I am so tired I don't even know what I am writing. I believe it is time to relax and head in for an early night.
