I woke up today at 6:30 hearing Clarissa start a fight with Amelia. I had three kids come in and tell me I needed to do laundry because their hampers were full. I discovered we were out of orange juice for breakfast, which is unheard of around here. I had to defend my position that unsalted peanuts or salted peanuts were equally as good mixed with the chocolate chips I had packed for school snack. I then had to understand why I had a naked child wrapped in a blanket coming downstairs to use the toilet because the upstairs one was too cold to sit on. Ah, a pretty typical start to my first hour awake each morning. Today it didn't bother, I didn't care! I woke up feeling blessed because my days of feeling drugged, needing a two hour nap, and constantly worrying about seizures are behind me. Today marks 6 months since my surgery. It is hard to believe at this time I was just waking up from the 7 hours I was out for the procedure. So today I really don't care about any of the small stuff piling up around me :) I took the time to find a clear spot and took a picture of myself.
I can't imagine how good you must feel today! I am glad to hear that you are doing great, even with the chaotic times that must surround you getting four kids up and about each day.
ReplyDeleteI love the additions to the blog. Did you digitally scrapbook the pages on the slideshow? The music is nice too.
Can't wait to see you guys soon!
Angie - this is a very inspirational post...I must here more of your story. Hopefully we will meet up next weekend :)
