I don't think I have stopped since early this morning and my head is still spinning in full disarray of everything that is going on. First I didn't want to get up this morning. I really need that extra hour of sleep that the daylight saving time took away. Then it was off to get the kids ready for school. Nothing like running around the house looking for school uniforms under the mountain of clothes that need to find a home sometime this week. Maybe I will get to that task this weekend. David left this morning to head to the hospital for his annual nuclear stress test. Hope everything turns out okay because he has been under a lot of stress lately. I know he doesn't think I care but I do.
Laura and Jeanne are at school and I went by FBC to see if maybe they have a pair of crutches that will fit Gwendolyn. I grew up at FBC and my parents are still members. The girls have been going to their Wednesday night program since our church doesn't have a good youth program. Today I met Rev. Henry for the first time and all I can say is that he made a good lasting impression on me. Actually the whole church staff will always have a place in my heart. Even though they didn't have pediatric crutches they spent over an hour calling around till we located a pair. In the event if we had not found a pair Rev. Henry was going to fix the pair that I had to fit Gwendolyn. Now this is dedication in God's Work. When I think I am going losing my faith in mankind someone manages to bring back that faith and makes my faith in God even stronger.
We manage to make it to the school by 9:10 and I walked her to class. She insisted on going to school even though I have to pick her up at 12:30 because I have no one to pick her up from school this afternoon in the car line. There is no way I am going to let her ride the bus home while on crutches. She seem to do really well on the crutches and I think she is going to have a good day. I also met an angel named Bailey today. She is one of the special needs children at the school and her smile melt my heart today.
It looks like we are going to participate in the Spring Fever Chase this weekend. Gwendolyn wanted to race but there was no way that she could with her sprain ankle. Thanks to FBC I have acquire a wheel chair for the race and will be pushing Gwendi. I imagine it will be not only an interesting day but we will have a great time! Pictures later of course!
As the clock ticks on I need to think about getting dressed for work. After today I am off for four whole days. I have not been off for a full weekend since October. I can't wait for this short vacation. I imagine that I will probably be in a lot of trouble when I arrive at work because I had to call out yesterday due to being at the hospital with my 8 year old daughter who sprain her foot. My store is not great about understanding that you have children and sometimes you have to be out. Part of the reason I am having to check Gwendi out of school early is so I can go into work this afternoon and work 4 1/2 hours. I dare them to write me up for yesterday because not only am I going to refuse to sign the papers I am also going to leave a nice little message on it about how ridiculous it is that you expect me to be at work while I am at the hospital with my 8 year old daughter having her injured ankle x-rayed because we think it is broke.
I think it is time to stop for a second and smell the flowers!
