Playing Catch Up

It's only Tuesday, huh? Man, I wish it were, say, Thursday!

It seems like the week has been going by slow. I didn't sleep much last night so that doesn't help things any. Oh well. Two days down, two days to go.

Mom and Dad came down yesterday afternoon. Though the visit didn't turn out quite like we had planned, it's still been a lot of fun. We've enjoyed having a distraction and Tanner has loved having Grandma and Grandpa's attention. I'm so glad they have been able to watch her play ball and to perform at her school concert. Tanner is almost done with the 7th grade and Mom and Dad have never been able to come to a school function. I think they had just as much fun watching her as she did having them there!

Steve is way stressed out right now with things involving his Mother. I myself never knew having a Mother-in-law could be so stressful! I hate that Steve feels so much stress over it and I try to look at things from his point of view....but sometimes that's really hard. Somehow I've become the family spokesperson so if the Dr calls or the Social Worker or whoever...I'm the one that they call. I talk to whoever has called, take my notes and then I pass it along to Steve and his sister. This sounds all good in theory except that when I tell Steve, it usually just pisses him off even more! (Not at me, but at his Mother) We finally had some words about it today and I'm really hoping that helps. I know he's stressed, embarrassed, tired, etc. but dang it, so am I! I know that eventually this will pass; I just hope we're all still around to enjoy when it does!

Tanner went back to PT today. This was the last visit until after we see the Ortho Dr next week. I love the therapist. She said she thinks it's the meniscus that's torn. She said today that we could keep coming to PT or do the exercises at home. All we were doing at PT at this point was trying to get her knee to loosen up and move a little-and that's not happening. She can't bend it more than 75 degrees. Poor kid. She's so worried that she may have to have surgery and that she'll not be able to go to church camp at the end of June to Panama City, Florida. I've just tried to reassure her that whatever happens is God's will and that we will take things one day at a time, even though deep down I want to cry my eyes out right along with her!

My Mom asked me tonight if I was ok and all I could tell her was I was way stressed-I'm worried about my husband and I'm worried about my kiddo. The two people in my life are way stressed out and hurting and I hate that!! I wish there was something I could do to make it all go away and for life to go back to normal and mundane again.

Well, I'm trying to watch The Bachelorette that I taped last night but my eyes are closing. Guess that means its time for me to get off of here and go to bed.
