Crasy busy week...

Before I get to this week I would just like you all to keep my Aunt Lori in your prayers. This past Saturday I was an emotional wreck, even before I got the call from Aunt Lori. She was calling to say that she has breast cancer. She did not know any more at the time, & was worried of course about anything and everything a mom and wife would worry about when faced with that kind of gut punching news. Also trying to keep in mind that God is in control and she is His. But she was still very upset. She had a Dr.s appt on Monday and would find out more then.  Monday came and she called me after her app. and she was much more optimistic, The Dr. said that they caught it early and they would remove the cells and she would just have to do radiation not kemo. Praise the Lord! Still keep the prayers coming please, they scheduled the surgery for this Tuesday March 8th, and Mom is flying out to be with her and help out during recovery for about a week. For us it was back to school with homework complete and extra reading minutes done. The boys are having a reading fundraiser for school through march 11th. They did not enjoy the extra minutes at first but I think they are use to it now. Tuesday was fairly normal and routine. Wednesday on the other hand was a world wind day. First off it was early release for the boys, so they get out of school @ 1:20 instead of 2:50. When I look at it written down it does not seem like that much, but when your keeping two other cute munchkins that are use to a certain schedule and you have to change it, it can make things hard. A friend also needed me to keep her kids for a few hours in the afternoon, and they got out of school at 1. So I went to the school to pick up my friends 2, and then rushed off to get my 2 boys (they are so helpful on days like these, I can't tell you how blessed I am to have such great and willing  helpers). Then there was homework, snacking, reading, and playing. Jared's trumpet was in the shop getting fixed, and I got the call that it was ready to get picked up. So after all the other kids were gone, we rushed off again to get Jd's trumpet and get so much needed laundry soap and dog food. Got back home just in enough time to wolf down dinner and head back out to church. Needless to say I was a bit wiped out, and that feeling carried over to the next day. Thursday, I only worked half day and had my ankle checked out. Then in the evening John and I went to the Aspire school meeting that got canceled last month. I will fill you all in on the rest of the week soon. Hugs to you all :)
