This has been a LONG week.  So here are a few of my highs and lows…

Do you want the highs or the lows first? I’ll start with the lows…because you’ll start to feel sorry for me but then the highs will help you feel better before you leave.

Lows –

1. My back continued to hurt. Enough that I am eating pain pills and had to go to the emergency room because I was convinced I had a kidney stone or something. You know where they don’t treat you like things are an emergency? The emergency room. We were there 4 hours.  Thankfully we had Jonah with us so I didn’t have to borrow a pump from the Family Birthing Center. 
2. I had to watch Theodore get shots.  I get my kids shots because I got shots and my husband got shots and I can’t tell whether it’s something we should do or shouldn’t do.  So I do it and pray that God protects them from side effects. 
3. I got even less sleep than the little sleep I have been getting.
4. I think I have mastitis.
5. Our dishwasher finally died.

Highs –

1. The sun was out for most of the week and we were able to enjoy it!
2. A lot of people showed me how much they cared that I was feeling bad.  My sister-in-law came over to help with the kids. A friend made us a meal. Another friend watched my kids so I could go to the chiropractor. My husband and kids brought me ice-packs, water, stuff for Jonah, etc.
3. Theodore’s health, vision and hearing were all normal at his well check-up.
4. A new friend and her kids came over on Thursday.
5. We ordered some great stuff from Amazon.
6. I was well enough to go to church with my family today.
7. God continued to give me His grace every moment. Even as I write this. 🙂
