Over the past couple of weeks I have opened this page and started to blog. It seems I either haven't had time or just couldn't get my thoughts together to write. Getting back to normal has been a little more difficult for me than I thought it would be. I have been having alot of anxiety. I don't know what brings it on, but it is definitely there. Over the past year people asked me all the time how I was doing. My answer was always that I was doing fine. And....I really was fine the entire time we were in Houston. I was fine throughout all of the chemotherapy and radiation. I was fine through all of the scary moments. So I expected to come home after Dave's surgery and jump back into life. I'm kinda mad that that's not happening. I feel frustrated that I am not "fine" right now. I know I will be....it's just gonna takes some time.
Dave is doing well. It has been a little over two months since his surgery. He is back to all of his normal tasks. He is even planning to mow the grass soon. The kids have been super busy with their school work and other activities. As good as all of the activities have been, I am so glad some are coming to an end for the semester. Samuel played football which ended a couple of weeks ago. All three kiddos took a tennis class which be over this coming week. They have all really loved this class and they have learned alot. Even though all these were good things, I feel like all have done for weeks is run children from place to place. Samuel is still loving his karate classes. He tested for his yellow belt last Saturday. He was so cute!! He was very nervous at first, but he did very well. He will will know next week if he passed or not.
I have really been loving the cooler weather and the falling leaves. We have our afternoon classes in the sun room. It has been so nice watching the beautifully colored leaves falling from the trees while we read our History and do our Science. It gives me a warm fuzzy feeling :)
For the past couple of years I have taken part in the Giving Thanks Challenge. I'm going to do it again this year. Go to South Breeze Farm and check it out, grab a button, add it to your blog, and start listing what you are thankful for. My list will be on the sidebar of my blog if you want to check it out. I am hopeful as we head into November. I'm gonna work on being more thankful. Listing something I am thankful for each day really helps me to see how blessed I really am. I will try not to take so long in between my posts. I really do have alot to say...I've just got to take the time to write it down!
