Well . . . everyone has the H1N1 vaccine except me! Madie received her’s yesterday. We are working really hard to finish projects all around the house. My mom is taking the kids for a fun weekend at Grandma’s house. Yeah!! Hopefully we will get everything done this weekend. My list is long, but we can do it!
We have a lot of wonderful people surrounding us right now and helping us out. Which is completely different from the last time. When Ben had surgery the last time, our friends at the church and in the community were wonderful but the leaders of the church were bitter and unsupportive. I think the words we heard from the council president at the time were, “You had better feel lucky that you even get to be with your son while he is in the hospital.” What kind of church tells the pastor that he should be grateful that they even allowed him to travel to Texas to be with his son during surgery. Mind you, Chris used every last ounce of his vacation to do it. No sick days were used at all. Totally different this time. But still the church is stressed right now with all of the pain from the church-wide decision on homosexuality. The church will get through this. It just stresses everyone out including the pastor.
We are telling Ben on Tuesday. We are counting down to that dreadful day. Yuck. But we are going to work hard this weekend. There will be sawing and painting involved. Filing and trash removal will also be included. Decluttering and organizing are the name of the game.
