So-- time has gone by so quickly lately! The daily routine in our house is different now that Kadyn is in school. Sure we always had to get the kids down at a reasonable hour since they were in day care, but they had good naps during the day. Kadyn does not get this anymore! So, the pressure is on to make sure she is in bed by 8:00 each night. She is still loving kindergarten. She shows such pride in the work she brings home and must show us each and every paper in the most intricate of detail.
Dylan is doing great at his day care. He is so happy and still has not yet cried when I leave him. He did not even cry this past week when I had to pick him up because he was running a high fever! They said he was happy the entire time!
I am so happy and blessed that my kids are so happy in there current situations.
So how am I? Well, I am determined not to be beaten down. It seems that the rain started coming down on me about 3 weeks ago and well now the flood gates are open! Nothing major has happened, but all of the events combined have come close to pushing me over the edge-car window not working, brakes going out overnight (literally), finding out I was sold a car that put me and the kids in extreme danger, confronting the car company that sold me the car, confronting the company about being reimbursed for the cost of fixing the car, having a car company back me into a corner where I am at their mercy and not knowing if I will get my hundreds of dollars that are owed--the car window going out again a week after it was fixed the first time--Dylan getting a high fever that is still going on-day 3 now, hitting a pole in the drive through line because a guy behind me would not back up to let me make the sharp turn which yes it is my fault, but ticked me off because I now have a HUGE dent in the door of the van--that I have had for 3 months--Kadyn throwing up in the hallway at church tonight while a friend was watching her until choir so I could go get Dylan who is sick and was with my mother--of course none of this takes into consideration anything from school--so where am I? Well, I could let this get me down and I was doing a great job of that for about a week or two. However, I have realized that my attitude is getting me nowhere! I should be praising God throughout everything--I have so much to be thankful for. But most of all- I know whose I am--nothing or no one can change that-- so I praise God that I am His child. I praise God for the gift of being a mom- for having the blessing of taking care of my kids even when they are sick-- I praise God for my van- even though it has been such a headache lately- but I have 4 wheels that get me around and meet the needs we have. Things could be so much worse--and all in all I really do not have it that bad- frustrating at times- but not bad at all! So thank you God for the dent in the door of the van--it is my reminder-- I may be dented by the in and outs of daily life- but my frame--my support is steady and strong--for you are framework of my innermost being!
