Whirlwind Week

I can tell we are getting old....cuz....we muster up the energy to really work and work hard for a few days and then we are down for the count! We worked so hard this past weekend tiling our breakfast room and getting my daughter's room dry laid, but then it was time for the work week to begin.

This has been a week. Monday started with a bang with the discovery that Kat has strep and mono. She has had a miserable week, not able to sleep or eat, or anything really. I weighed whether to kick into mom mode or let her be the adult. I tried the step back and let her be grown Sunday night, and made it till about 4 am Tuesday morning, but then I had to get up and take care of her. Next came contacting teachers, gathering her school work, making jello and soup, picking up Gatorade, and pep talks, lots of pep talks.

Next time she gets sick, I won't be as available. She will have to some how get through sick on her own....I am worried. Will she remember to drink fluids, make jello, balance her day between her energy levels, use a cold rag to calm herself, deep breathe to relax her body so she can go to sleep? What will she do when it isn't her but her baby, or her husband?

That...and my first test in my master's level class, classroom observations, a missionary lunch on Tuesday, Sylvan, basic housework, Taylor being admitted to the hospital, a funeral today....yep...it is already Friday and ask me what I have gotten done. All the above, but not much reconstruction.

Tonight...we are going to Logan's, maybe stop in at Lowe's, choose a grout color, pick up some more thin set so we can tile AGAIN all this weekend....hmmm...maybe our "agedness" will not hold us back from accomplishing even more this week!
