a post entitled "not how i had planned my weekend to be..."

update for our family- i cannot access my home email, facebook (BUMMER) or twitter here at the hospital (but i can get my work email- go figure!) we are back in our room on the peds floor. there is some pain and grogginess, but all things considered we're doing pretty good. our youth leaders, dai & jenny brought up mcdonald's and we're eating fries and drinking a sprite. :) i get to stay up here tonight too- boy have hospitals changed!!! we should go home tomorrow. thanks for all the prayers!

this weekend is definitely not going as planned. i brought home a big TUB of work to do- lesson plans for two weeks, getting my students files labeled and paperwork sorted out, doing some curriculum mapping for myself to put the K & 1st stuff together and mapping out where i am going to head this year, cutting out a bunch of feltboard sets i received from donors choose. i need to get a lot done this weekend as my grad classes begin this monday! YIKES!!!

instead i am sitting in the hospital awaiting my child's surgery- a surgery that was not in our plans for this weekend. oh well, life is still very, very good. thank God for insurance (even when it is more expensive & benefits cut) because without it i don't know what we'd be doing right now. thank God for jobs to pay the bills we'll now have. thank God for family that prays for us. thank God for three youth leaders that have surrounded my family with love in the almost two years we've now known them, but especially has come around us this summer in the midst of other junk to shower us with His love and their love and their support.

thank you God for being with us in it all- even when the weekend goes a direction i didn't plan. now to get back to picking on my kid. :) i LOVE being a mom!
