I pretty much suck when it comes to having to slow down and let someone else take care of me. I’m usually the caretaker. But today I was a fairly good patient and they have taken amazing care of me. Matt was able to work from home so he was here to give Maw-Maw a hand with me & my monsters. Our super sweet neighbor even helped out by getting Bunny to and from school and Buggie was thrilled to have a play date with her daughter after school.

Bitty hasn’t quite understood why she hasn’t been allowed to climb all over me like she does daily. I can’t wait to bounce back so that we can get back to our usual routine. Buggie sat with me for hours. She even brought me her Spider-man & brobee pillows to make me feel better. She read me a few books and then I read them to her. We even watched a little Disney. Bunny had lots to talk about and even took a mini nap with me. She has been so worried about her mama. So it was nice to be home and be able to reassure her that I really will be okay! Budah even sat with me for a good while and we of course talked skateboarding most of the time. I could even hear him offering to help out his dad and Maw-Maw throughout the day. Proud would be an understatement. Things are never easy for my family when I am down for the count, but they have been on it all day!

I am still in a great deal of pain. But am so happy to be home with my bunch of crazies. It’s times like these when you truly get to appreciate the folks that genuinely care about you. I have been overwhelmed with the outpour of concern, prayers, and offers to help in any way. Not that we hadn’t already known, but it was a good reminder of who we need to hang on to and who is meant to be let go of. I am so very thankful for the support system I have in my loved ones and truly appreciate every single one of you. I may be in an awful lot of pain today, but I have never felt so blessed.
