Update

I am sorry for all the blogs recently which more talk about the direct events in my family rather than cute stories about my girls or "super cleaning days". I have appreciated the value of being able to vent "online".

Sunday, we found out Chad's dad is only functioning on 1/3 of his heart. This was crazy, but oddly, not devastating. Right now I have been uplifting him up to God and I have been also praying he would do the same. I know he is the janitor for a church, but I am not aware of his walk with God.

Monday, we found out my Grandpa on my dad's side is in the hospital. He just got a pace maker today, I think he is doing fine now. I know just before the pace maker, he was struggling a lot. From what I understand the procedure was easy and very necessary. My poor Grandma!

My baby girl has been sick since Monday. She is starting to look and act better. I helps she is actually able to hold 2 oz in her body. Gee, I know what that feels like. Her spirits are good, and the doctor we saw today could not believe how contented and happy she is. That has been her attitude for a long time now.

**********************

Taking all of this information has been a little overwhelming, but not too much to handle (if that makes sense?) I have been working on praying a lot lately. To take my mind off things, I took the kids for a walk yesterday and watched them enjoy puddles. Pooky bear had a blast splashing as much as she could. I am also trying to be focussed on my work and cleaning. Gee, at this rate I will have one sparkly clean house and tons of money in the bank for all the avoidance I have been wanting to do. I am going to go visit my Grandpa tomorrow. It is pretty much guaranteed I will be in cleaning mode after I come home. For some reason when things like this happen in my family, I tend to clean. The cleaning is a good thing, the reason I am cleaning, not so good. Oh well.

Of course, I do the same thing. It does help, in a way. It keeps you busy, instead of just sitting and brooding about everything. And, sometimes, I find myself sorting through things inwardly as I'm sorting through things outwardly.

There's no need to apologize...your blog is what it needs to be for you at any given time. I have to take lessons from you and begin cleaning through this time...I might actually have a really clean house in the end.

Anyhow, I've been thinking about you and now that I'm back reading blogs, etc., I thought I would drop by and say hello.

Blessings and ((HUGS)) to you...
