So Sweet

He is so sweet!

How could this sweet boy ever do anything that would drive us nuts?

 This sweet face would NEVER wake up at 2am and poop on our white carpet in our room causing us to all wake up in a panic and require a major bath and bed change. He is too sweet to do anything like that!

You know who else is sweet, my husband. He has cared for me in my recovery better than a nurse, taken care of the kids even when they are throwing up and pooping everywhere. Cleaned our house, made dinners, done all his work for the church and for school and has had a great attitude about the whole thing. He is amazing and am so very thankful for him.

This sweet boy got his first 'real' haircut yesterday with his daddy. See, I cut all the hair in my family, but with me down and out these past weeks the boys needed to head to a real Barber to get the work done. There is a classic Barber near us that Paul was excited about going too. Go sit with the older local men, get a cheap cut by a real Barber. They walk in and see Jack the Clipper who says that he can't do kids because of a problem with his neck. In desperation, the boys head to Great Clips where there is a huge line up. In further desperation they head to a fancy salon next door and cough up close to 50$ for their haircuts. They look good but must say look no better than what I do. Paul came home and announced that I will be the only one to touch his hair from now on.

I am getting better slowly, but just as one pain leaves, another shows up. There are good and bad days, yesterday bad, hopefully today good. I got brave the other day and walked over to the school with my mom to pick up the girls. I haven't been there in weeks and it was sunny and nice out. I need to get stronger so I thought this would be good for me. It was all good until on the way home I got honked at because I was taking too long crossing the street. When I got home I was exhausted and emotional and realized that the big world out my window is not where I should be yet. I should get a walker so people might understand that I am a very slow right now!! At least it made me more aware that I need to be patient with people, we never know what they are going through.
