When life give you lemons

I have to say I live a pretty basic, normally, busy life. Not only being a CHP wife, a mom to be, part time high school teacher, Mary Kay beauty consultant, board member a chapter of Soroptimist International. I have a pretty good routine I am in too, especially with my husband still on desk duty (i'll explain later) but overall I think I handle it pretty well. Except for last week... last week, by Sunday I believe I was allowed to give up just for a little bit. I don't want to bore you guys with every last detail of it but to hit some major points

• Monday- left work computer at home so everything else that day just decided it didn't want to work. Seriously, every class had something wrong. 
• Tuesday- horrible indigestion and exhaustion... looks like 3rd trimester is welcoming me with all kinds of symptoms.
• Wednesday- We had an attempted suicide by a student, craziest thing I have ever been a part of
• Thursday- Glucose tolerance testing, no profit Mary Kay event.. just a long day
• Friday- meetings at work, trying to get a hold of someone to explain my glucose testing for like 2 hours
• Saturday- fun but not so profitable Mary Kay event, then my alternator in my car decided to die
• Sunday- my last living grandparent, my Dad's dad, passed away

So I am very happy it is Monday... new month... new week!

Back to my husbands hand now. We went back to the doctors about 2 weeks ago and they took off the cast! (Don't get excited yet) Did more x-rays only to find out it is still not healed. Back on a new cast goes. For another 4 weeks! We were told that the bone that is broken doesn't get great blood circulation which causes healing to be slower. :( But whatever needs to be done to get this healed properly. Again, his office has been so understanding, keeping him busy working with accident investigations which he is really enjoying. As much as it sucks that we ere hoping to rock some OT right now and have a nice chunk of change but aside for baby expenses, but that must not be God's plan. We are always able to save just on our paychecks anyway so maybe God is trying to get us to realize that we are just fine where we are. :)

So today I choose to be positive, like I did last week at least up until Sunday, and remember how blessed we are right now and take each day as it comes! :)

Let C watch begin!

So this has been an exciting week. First, I grew up playing soccer so I am absolutely loving watching the US women's national team rock it at the World Cup! But the excitement gets me too excited to get back into my "glory days" shape even though I am far from it. So Tuesday after watching the awesome semifinals game I was pretty pumped to work out but we didn't feel like going to the gym. When that's the case we just workout at home, husband lifts weights and I play "Just Dance". Random, I know, but it is such a workout and so much fun. Well husband was done with his workout and checking on how I was doing when I went took a wrong step and "POP" is all we heard and down I went. So an ER trip and 2 hours later I have a lovely boot.

As you can see it is my right foot which means I cannot drive and I will be wearing this for at least 2 weeks. Good thing I have an awesome husband he painted my toes and drives me to work (good thing I work weekdays and he works weekends, who thought I would ever been happy about that)

Speaking of his work, he started C watch this weekend... Of course the lovely holiday weekend. First night out of course he arrested a DUI. Tonight they are betting on at least 2. Can't wait to hear the stories when he gets off. Crazy to think there are that many idiots on the road. Makes me happy that I can't drive right now I guess. But not. Having my husband next to me when I go to sleep is awhile new issue. Last year he did like 2 shifts on graves and I use to watch tv to fall asleep but I had been having sleep issues so we prayed on it and stopped that about 6 months ago now. So last night I woke up to every little sound possible. Luckily the husband was home at early enough to sleep a little more comfortably with him next to me for about 3 hours.

But here I am on this great holiday where everyone is outside, BBQing with friends and family... I'm inside watching netflix because I can't drive to those places. Yes my parents offered to pick me up to celebrate with them but, honestly, I am really surprised no one else did. I did have one friend offer to come spend time with me this week which is amazing because again no one else has. I thought people knew me. I am not great at just sitting around doing nothing. Don't get me wrong, today I didn't have to get dress, do my hair or my makeup and it was kind of awesome! But I'm always busy, always moving... Have a fitbit to make sure I get moving more. I did have one friend ask me to go dancing, does that count? Lol anyway, hopefully when we have kids we will bond with other families. This age kind of sucks because everyone is in such different places in life. 

For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power, love and self-discipline. (2 Timothy 1:7 NIV)

This was my verse of the day today and I think it fits quite well. God doesn't want us to be scared or timid or even frustrated. God gives us our strength, our power to get through all we are going through. He gives us love, even when we feel like no one else is there. So even through I sit here, inside on the 4th of July, ankle in a boot and netflix on the tv... I know this too shall pass, my ankle will heal, c watch will be over, friends will come (and go) but it's nothing to stress over or worry about. It's just a part of our story.
