Headaches and heartaches

I know its been 6 months since i posted. I've been busy, like life isn't always busy.Between surgery and moving its been crazy. I had surgery on my shoulder and less than a month later was preparing to move. Between that time my sister moved and i found out my mom needed surgery. We are a busy family with never a dull moment. Today is surgery day for mom and i'm here with my sister waiting for news on how it went. I also said goodbye to my son who is off to scout camp for the week. I was volunteered by my son to over see the food for this 6 day camp, and it has been a bit of a challenge, trying to get all the moms on the same page and preparing a different me was frustrating at times but its about to all pay off. The boys left at 7:15 and i know it will be an amazing time. I plan on going up on friday to take lunch to the boys and check out the camp. It should be lots of fun and i'm looking forward to it. Its only been a few hours but i miss him like crazy, this will be the longest i've been apart from him since he was born. I hope he has a great time with all the guys. i don't know how my mom was before surgery but i didn't sleep well with all that i knew was going to happen, i don't know if i was the only one that was nervous but i haven't heard anyone else say anything about it. The lack of sleep has given me a headache, and waiting for any news is a lesson in patience. I guess its one i need to learn after all the times she has waited to hear about me. Thanks for always being there mom, I appreciate all you do.

One of those days

Have you ever had one of those days when nothing seemed to go right? where the new furniture with pre- drilled holes isnt pre- drilled so you search for the drill just to find out someone put it in the wrong spot, its dirty and the batteries are dead so you have to wait 3 hours to use the dumb thing. The insurance company wont pay for the out patient visits for your children and the other insurance just wont pay anything and you wonder why you have it. Or how about you get a stack of paperwork due back in 3 days and you don't have the information to fill it out and if you could get it, it would take weeks and hundreds of dollars ( which i don't have). This has been my day in a nut shell, i am feeling overwhelmed and under appreciated. I have spent the last few hours trying to let go, let go of the tears, frustration and the pain, the pain in my face from my TMJ acting up for the last two weeks, pain of the headache from crying and the pain from wondering if anyone besides God understands how much i'm hurting today and how alone i feel. I know the lord is always there and will help us if we let him in, some days are just harder than others. This to shall pass. After all tomorrow is another day, to quote miss scarlet. I am going to put all this mess aside for the night and watch one of my favorite movies. i will tackle this in the light. Light is always better than darkness and adversity will always be present, i guess the trick is learning to cope with the adversity and find a smile in coping with it. The lord will lighten our burdens if we turn to him and ask for his help. Frustration and tears will come because of the adversary, he lives for it he waits until we are most vulnerable and dumps more on us so we will fall apart, today i choose to tell him " NOT TODAY" today is not his day i will not let him win. So i will take a break from the mess and stress and see how it all looks in the LIGHT.
