I'm Back

I have returned after going to the battlefield and returning wounded but recoverable. Not quite that bad but at times I wasn't so sure. The surgery went well, only taking 3 1/2 hours, and I stayed in the hospital less than 48 hours after the deed was done. Came home on Wed. And was glad to be back amongst the ones that love and adored me, enough to wait on me and help me get what I needed for a while. Hospitals no matter how beautiful still have the same problem of staff, which unless you bring your own nurse, your care is minimal. Enough about that.
Larry is off today at mediation, which means you sit all day, pay your lawyer all day so that the other side can get together and try to decide what they want. I am sure he will come home after yet another day, frustrated, angry, tired, and totally disappointed in the judicial system of honor and truth, and right wins. Don't know what else to say except pray...God IS IN CONTROL -- EVEN WHEN WE ARE NOT AS SURE AS OUR FAITH TELLS US TO BE! Yet it is what keeps us going on, able to withstand wrongs done to us, forgive as we have been forgiven, and most of all face today because CHRIST DIED, WAS BURIED, AND NOW LIVES! How people who do not have faith in God handle the crisises of today I will never understand.
Rebecca is off for an afternoon swim...2 hours or so of laps, turns, and stokes. She needed another suit today since her last one is riddled with holes from chlorine....Can't believe how hard it is to find a suit that will last through daily swim practice (a month)...I am sure concrete wouldn't get holes in it but she seems to think it might be hard to swim in?!?!?
Tomorrow is Andrews 5th birthday. Today sister took him to the store to buy his birthday cereal(family tradition of being able to eat all the sweetened cereal you want on your birthday and not at any other time). He chose Waffle Crisp and Cookie Crisp....Maybe sister didn't help out to much after all. Bob the builder is the current favorite theme making it easy for me to decorate the cake. For lunch we will eat chicken nuggets, macaroni and cheese, and little carrots with ranch dressing. Chocolate cake will top that off with presents for the birthday boy. For dinner it is Tues. night at Awana's so dinner at church, cupcakes for the class and I am sure a rousing song of Happy Birthday unless he gets out of control......Which of course if you know Andrew is always a strong possibility....
Better close before all becomes bored to tears.....We will miss you at the party .......
