Update on my life!

I caught an ear/sinus infection several weeks ago and was off work for two weeks, other than doing the basics like the bulletin, etc. from the couch. What did we do before laptops??

Just as I was feeling better, Tim started having some problems at school, and was sent home numerous times in one week. Kids know what buttons to push, and were trying to pull his only friend away from him. As a result, he finally ended up out of school last Thursday. They are meeting with us tomorrow to see what our options are. He has been going into the special ed class instead of taking French recently, which has helped him some, but he still is having the same ongoing problems with the kids in his class. We are going to see if he might be able to go to another school with a more specialized program to accommodate him. Pray for us tomorrow if you get a chance.

I have started some medication for stress. I have always worried a lot - more at some times than others, but I was awake more nights than not going over all the things that might go wrong, and it was affecting my life. Danny and Kathryn both have medication as well, so the doctor started me on some this past weekend. She said it takes 4 weeks to get into full effect, but I feel a little better. I have had some other quick acting pills to get me through the toughest times until it is in full effect.

I am going to be breaking free this weekend though, which should be great! I'm going to a Ladies Retreat with two other ladies. Doubtful we are going to get much sleep, but it will be so nice to be kid free, and to relax in the pool and just de-stress with wonderful meals made for us. Being catered to is so nice and infrequent!

My inlaws have been here for a week, so they have been a huge help.

Have to run for now - have to get the boys to bed!
