to a screeching halt. You know how you just go go go keep on trucking and then wham you stop. Unexpectedly. Abby got sick Thursday. The timing couldn't have been worse. It's month end- I need to be at work during month end. I plan my days off, our vacations around month end. But... unplanned day off I was home with our girl. Rick left work to drive to my work to pick up things I needed so I can work this weekend. I ended up taking her to urgent care last night. Got home too late and running on very little sleep to even think about work. She is in the midst of preparing for ballet exams and missed ballet today, missed getting her weekend homework packet, missed doing her piano practice... but we'll pick up where we left off and get back on the road and go go go. I'm getting a jump start on house cleaning, made a HUGE pot of Irish Beef Stew, hopefully gonna crank out some work later. We have to pull her out of school on Tuesday for a private ballet lesson, next Saturday is 2 more- one in the morning and one in the afternoon and then 3/21 is her actual exam- again have to take her out of school. Aidan finished soccer. We are waiting to hear about semi private swim lesson at a place closer to home and they can be in their own class together. Still waiting for his Tball schedule.
I am 4 months behind on their photo albums. I told my Aunt the other day that I just feel like I can't give 100% to anything- everything seems so rushed for me. Rush in the morning to get through my workout, rush to get them to school and work, rush at work just to get everything done, rush to pick them up because after school care is hourly, rush to get dinner made and dishes done and bath done and stories read, rush at the grocery store, just rush in general to get to the next task.
Abby spoke in front her school this week to present her Bibles for Egypt project. I was so proud- I ended up crying.
The first day she sold over 100 bracelets and I've been mailing some out to friends and family who are supporting her. I'm simply amazed at what God is doing through her and that she takes it on with such maturity. This Wednesday someone is coming out to film/interview Abby and I at her school for a video they are making about fundraising.
