You have a FULL TIME job of HOME ENGINEER. Yours is 24/7 with no “off” days! It is also the most important job…Christian wife and mother helping raise four young Christian men. Don’t sell yourself short. We love and appreciate you.

Yes. This week must be packed with redirected lessons because this day was as messy and unpredictable as yesterday and tomorrow Alan is off work and Monday the kids are out of school.

Oh my gosh, well, first of all thank you. Thank you. 2nd let me tell ya, if I had a real job like you do I’d feel like off days were totally meant for sleeping to 11 and watching t.v. I beat myself up because I think that my not real job makes me sound irrelevant and lazy. The struggle is very real with negative thoughts. Learning to turn them around to positive ones is something I have to force myself to do too, so we are the same. I miss you!!!!

I struggle all the time with too many high expectations for myself and my days off. On good days I actually think about you and your uplifting spirit. You have such a gift of seeing the good in the days instead of the bad. So I try to find the good in my bad days by trying to think like you. You’re an inspiration! And any day loving on one of those sweet boys of yours is a good good day! Stay well! Love you!

Very rare to meet a fellow v tach-Er! Thank you for commenting. I think mine is benign too. The doctors are still super careful about it though. I have to do periodic MRIs and wear an implanted monitor. Bleh. Thanks for the encouraging words!! One day I really will have more time.
