Last week, it seemed the week passed so fast. My mom came down to stay with us and needless to say, it was a much needed mommy time for me. She came down to help with the kids and for the Frio county Relay for Life to benefit the American Cancer Society. This was a first for me and for her since Daddy died. It was a neat experience. She and I walked with the kids while Jeff went to "Prom" (as a Senior class sponsor, this is one of his duties). Apparently, we were in the paper, but I have not seen the picture yet. the rest of the weekend was uneventful. Monday, went to work feeling okay, not too tired from the events of the weekend, but that afternoon, my legs were swollen and I felt as if I was contracting. I came home and put my feet up and went to bed early. I did not sleep well at all.
Tuesday morning arrived and I just did not feel right at all. I was up at 4 AM and could not go back to bed. I got ready for work and made it there. I did some checking on myself and called to let my doctor know that I was not feeling well and that my blood pressure was up. He suggested that I come in for a checkup at the hospital. We got to Uvalde around 1:30 and stayed there until 7:00. I felt much better after some IV antibiotics and fluids. No more contractions since then.
Wednesday and Thursday I recuperated at home. It was nice to be able to spend some time with mom here at the house. I am also grateful because Ms. Betty from church came over too to help us get organized a bit better. Thursday night, I was walking into our bedroom and discovered that the carpet was soaking wet. Jeff opened the return air vent to the air conditioner and there lie 2 inches of water that was coming out of the air conditioner. Needless to say, it was great to have mom here because she stayed for a water extraction team to come in and put blowers on the carpet. If it is not one thing, it is another, right?
I was glad to see the weekend here, but why does time speed up on the days off? Another week has started. Insurance adjuster won't be here until the 16th, so we live in chaos for a couple of more weeks, with carpeting that is rolled back!
Jeff is feeling better now. He is counting down the days until school is out. So am I. I am glad that he will have some time off. Even though his summer will go quickly, at least he will be at home. I am kinda jealous though of his time off. I wish I could take a hiatus and still get paid! : ) There is no such break though.
Still praying that our medical insurance will work itself out. Paperwork has been turned in, just waiting on Humana to get their stuff in order.

I am so thankful that I still have my mom. I feel inadequate as a mom sometimes when I compare myself to her. I feel more inadequate when I compare myself to my 80 year old grandmother. They always are cool, calm and collected. I wonder when I will reach that?
Thank you mom for your help and understanding. Your "grace still amazes me".
