Return to "normal"?

The older 2 kids have gone back to school today, I would be lying if I didn't admit to being a bit excited about that. The younger 2 are watching a cartoon at the moment and I am enjoying my coffee, my second cup for the morning of course. It's back to staff meeting this morning and trying to get back to "normal", whatever that is.

My husband was injured doing a roofing job at my parent's house about a month ago. We thought he was getting better, we saw the end in sight, until we got news last week that he wasn't healing, he would have to go to a specialist at the Cleveland Clinic and have surgery. Ugh, frusterated would definately describe how I felt when I got the news. January is not a good month for my family, the last 2 have not gone well at all, and I didn't need this on my plate this year. But, my God is bigger than it all. So with my Bible, my coffee, and a praying heart I will move forward. Trying to get back to "normal" while taking on extra tasks and figuring in extra doctors appointments and giving up things that I plan on for me. It's not easy but I can't complain, I saw where my husband slipped on the roof, I saw the possibilities of what could have been, and I am grateful that I don't have to deal with any of that as a reality.

So, I will take our current situation and make the best of every moment and let God carry this very tired woman through each day. And yes, there are piles of laundry and my house is not as clean as I prefer, but my four beautiful kids deserve more of my attention than a dirty floor or a pile of laundry.
