I have to say, it has been a tough week. Neither John or I have been sleeping well. But after a sick day yesterday, Mikaela seems to be coughing less today. She came up with an ingenious way to make her journal longer. She figured that if she wrote "achoo" everytime she coughed while she was writing, her sentence took up much more space! I'm sure she gets this "cleverness" from her father. But because of the coughing she didn't go to school, violin was cancelled, and their dentist appointments were cancelled so things all of sudden were quieter! Oh, and she also couldn't show off her "curly" hair which she was very upset about. Hence the picture on the blog for Grandma to see :)It was nice not to have to run around too much today, aside from AWANA of course. Tomorrow is a run around day but it starts with an uncomfortable bladder and a family holiday to the ultrasound tech! Not every day starts like that.
This week has been a tough one, but the prevailing tone is victory, not defeat. We were real, we didn't turn to unhealthy things to assuage our anger and hurt, and God in his grace helped us out of the downward spiral. Not every week ends like that!
