*My husband is feeling a little better and was actually able to eat with us at the table tonight instead of in bed alone... until I hurried him back to bed as soon as he finished.
*We had a doctor's appointment this morning with his back specialist. Terrell rode over an hour in the backseat. Bless his heart. We got some medicine for him to help him get back to normal while we wait for a long term solution. We'll know more after he has an MRI.
*Did I say he's feeling a little better?! Yay!! Thank you Lord for relief from pain and my husband's sense of humor returning! For a while there, he wasn't himself at all. And I felt terrible and helpless.
*Garrison has been very concerned about daddy. He's been thoughtful and considerate and loving. So sweet.
*Garrison has not been very concerned about mama. And the fact that she is overwhelmed. In fact, he's been a wild man at times. He knows things are different right now and something's up and that we don't really have a plan... therefore he has too much time on his hands... therefore he's been a HANDFUL.
*We both (me and Garrison) had a meltdown in the car yesterday afternoon when I insisted that we get out of the house and he insisted he wanted to stay home and run around like a crazy person. Then I felt totally guilty about my meltdown and that my sweet, innocent Austin had to witness his brother and mama completely lose it. (A milkshake made us all feel a little better.)
*So thankful my mom could come over yesterday morning and AnAn could come over this morning. I'm not sure what we would have done without them!
*I haven't cooked in DAYS. It's crazy. However, it does feel like all I do is prepare meals for everyone in the house. And take them back and forth to the bedroom or dining room 50 times a day.
*Poor Austin is having some separation anxiety issues since our anniversary weekend and being away from mama and daddy so much lately. He had the hardest time going to sleep tonight. Which is really rare for him. I felt so sorry for him. And myself.
*I have several "irons in the fire" with Premier right now. The timing is less than ideal. I'matadstressed.
*Since Terrell's back went out, I've felt exhausted and emotional. And frustrated with myself for feeling exhausted and emotional. Scratch that. For being exhausted and emotional.
*Sometimes it's just a circus around here. I never realized how calm things are when daddy's not out of commission.
*On the bright side, Terrell is feeling better and better and we have a plan in place to get some long term answers/solutions and I'm going to attempt to get us back on a regular schedule tomorrow which should help things out a ton. As my friend April would say, It could always be worse. And we're especially grateful that it's not.
