Recovery

The school year is in full swing and between the tonsil recovery, adjusting to new teachers and expectations, and many back to school nights for both the kids and I, we are focusing on just making it through each day. We were so blessed for a relatively manageable recovery from the tonsillectomy. While the first two days were rough and I was so thankful for the grandmas to show up, by the third day we went up north to the cabin. I was soooo nervous about it, but it worked out great. The distraction of  BB guns, 22s, rope swings, cousins and campfires helped immensely.  While they were in pain the entire time, it wasn't nearly as horrible as nighttime or sitting at school. I am so thankful for grandmas, aunts, uncles, friends, and God's healing!
I am thankful that we are finally starting to seem to get into the swing of things and have some routine. The last two weeks have been really tough adjusting to the busyiness and new schedules. The kids at school seem to be extra needy lately, which has been an extra stressor. I am thankful though that each day seems to be less stressful and more manageable.
