Keeping up.

Well, I know I am not keeping up like I should be with how I am doing. I have wanted to, but I have been really not ok by the evenings. On Tuesday I really over did it cleaning the boys playroom. They had so much JUNK in there it took 3 1/2 hours to get it clean. Then I had to finish my day.. taking care of Gavin and baby Leyton... Making dinner for my kids.. so on and so on.. well, I could hardly breathe by the time I went to bed. Wed. I woke up still in a TON of pain. I had to get up and get things done. I got the rest of the enchilada's done. I got my wonderful uncle from the airport. We went to Walmart. Wow.. ya... I was NOT ok. One of the things that I really try hard to do, is not let people see how much pain I am in. When I am in so much pain that I can't handle it, I stay home and not around other people. Well, I have been in so much pain, my uncle is seeing it, and is really watching out for me. I love him and I really appreciate him but I don't want anyone feeling like their being here is CAUSING my pain. That isn't the case. It is just being up and doing too much.
This morning, I did get to sleep in YAYAYAYAYAY!!! So, I got up about 8:30 and started making breakfast. Praise the Lord, I felt good when I got up today!! No left over pain from yesterday. Such a needed blessing. I made blueberry pancakes, and chocolate chip pancakes and scrambled eggs and bacon and biscuits and gravy. I had it ALMOST done when our Abq. family got here. I was so happy with the timing of it. After breakfast, I washed all the dishes *so we would have some for another meal.* Then I got some time to sit and enjoy my family. Then I had to do all the different busy work that revolves around a wedding and company. Ended the day making wedding favors. That was funner than I thought it would be. How does that saying go? Many hands makes light work.. or something like that. having my 2 sisters in law and a friend and I all working together, made it so great! While we were doing that, the guys were watching Avatar. I had the horrible torture of laying in my bed with Gavin and Caleb (who is the son of a friend of Erin who is here for the wedding) to get Caleb to sleep. That was rough let me tell you!! hahaha So, now, I am drugged... and up 2 and 1/2 hours past my bedtime, and need to be done and go to bed. I will try to keep up better through the weekend!
Thank you God for this day! Thank you for my family being here with me. Thank you for my family period! :D Thank you for the blessing of the food that we have to share with our family while they are here. Thank you for friends that are as close as family that we love and appreciate! Thank you for my sister getting married. Thank you for the man you have brought into her life and ours. Thank you for all your many blessings today and all days!
