There is so much going on each day I often wonder what to put down in words and what not to. I started thinking about my blog last night at the Jon Bon Jovi concert sitting next to an amazing woman, friend and mother.
Robin is several years older than I am but we have been friends as long as I've known Kyle. When I met Robin she had two boys from her first marriage and her husband had 4 kids from his first marriage. In the 12 years I have known her, the family has grown from 6 to 9. About 8/10 years ago they adopted a daughter who needed a loving family. This brought up and downs but Robin was there. A mother to her own children, her step-children in Utah and her adopted daughter. Then she becomes a "mother" to a brother and sister who have lost both of their parents tragically. When it seems there is no one for these kids Robin and her husband step up and have 9 kids. I am truly inspired by Robin and her willingness to be a mother to 9. How her challenges seem so small compared to what I am dealing with. When I left that concert I was inspired to be an even better mother.
Today was filled with a rush that started at, well was all night long with Karson. I think the longest he went between waking up was 2.5 hours. That was/is good for him right now. He still has to be on the oxygen at night and I am sure he just doesn't like the tubes in his nose. Kids up by 6:45ish. Give Karson his inhalers - we are trying not to use the nebs - Kam up and playing, Bailey up. Bailey does not want to get up, she is grumpy... Oh well such is life these days.
Bailey's out the door by 8:05 and to school right on time. Gym, driving while figuring out when Karson is going to have his procedures, home, Kam dressed, me ready off to the dentist... Home to get Karson for his shots and a drive down south for the apt. Shots, lunch with Auntie Marsha, home to drop him off, get Bailey from school and rest.. Not really but it sounds good. I really was doing work on Dolls for Daughters stuff. Stuff that I am behind on.
Oh and somewhere in the middle of all of that Karson's bronch and GI procedures were scheduled for March 17th. I am nervous about this and I know it will be best for him but he is my baby. He has been through so much. I arrive @ 11:30 am, it starts @ 1pm and they said to plan on 45 minutes for the drs to do their work and then a total of 4 hours @ the hospital. Not my idea of a fun day.
Get Kam from school, home, work on stuff, take Bailey to church, grab a quick dinner and home. Put the living room back together some, wait for Kyle and Bailey. Biggest Looser time. Time to relax...
Oh and Karson gets his first tooth! Yeah! He had been working on it, drooling and today it popped up. Maybe that has been part of the reason he doesn't feel good too. Off to bed for him at 9:30 and now it is about my turn!
I do not think I see a doctor visit in my future tomorrow. Just a playdate with Kam and Alex, the gym, and dance from 4:15-6:15..
