Yeah, It's Been A Few Days

I know I've waited longer in between blog postings than normal lately, but I really have had the week from "you know where."
Not that this week has been terrible horrible no good very bad.....it's just that it's been crazy. I have really learned self control over the past 7 days. It's been hard not to say exactly what I think at times, but I think it's better for everyone if I keep my comments to myself. I think another word that could describe me this week has been "helpless." I can't fix everything for everyone, and that in itself is a huge frustration.
Let's see....what else? Oh yeah. We didn't make it past the 1st game of the softball playoffs today. Not because we weren't good enough. We had to forfeit the game because we didn't have enough women to play. The rules are that you have to have 5...we had 3...see the problem there? So sad really. I think we could have won. :(
I would really like for all of you out there in bloggerland to pray for John this week. He goes in tomorrow to talk with a sports medicine doctor about possible surgery on his right shoulder. For those of you that haven't heard, John has been having a lot of pain in his shoulder for about 4 months now. It started out just being a nagging thing that didn't allow him to do certain exercises at the gym---now it has progressed to constant pain no matter what he is doing. He finally broke down and had an MRI done last Wednesday, and it showed that he has a bone spur impinging on his rotator cuff. That's fancy smancy talk for NOT GOOD. The surgery would be quick and laproscopic, so really no huge down time. They are telling him he would be back to full strength and ready for heavy weightlifting again in about 3 months. I think he's ready to have it fixed and over with. Like I said though, he will find out more tomorrow.
The kids and I finally got to go to one of John's indoor soccer games on Friday night. It was so much fun! Poor John---it was 40 straight minutes of running up and down the field! I don't know how he does that. He has another game tonight, so I think we'll go watch him again. Oh yeah----he scored a goal at this past game--I was so proud that I got to see it too!
This week is Caitlin's last one in 3rd grade. I swear, she has way too much packed into the next 5 days. I'm not sure if Momma's brain can keep up with it all. If I come back to the blog frazzled and incoherant, you'll know why. Much love to all of you this week!
