Today has been a very productive day. Little Hands Learning Center received a switcharoo as I rearranged lots of things in the main classroom this morning. I was very happy to find my newly renovated restrooms complete, although incorrect. I was supposed to have a regular sink and a utility sink, and instead I have two regular sinks... We shall see how long it takes to get that fixed.
At home Daryl and I worked on getting the kitchen in order. We cleaned off the dining table, the counter and the kitchen. I made Panda Orange chicken with white rice and veggies for dinner. We even cleaned up after dinner, so everything was clean (and put away!) before he got ready for work. He has been an amazing help since I had a couple days of not feeling well.
Yesterday, I went to the doctor to get an injection in my right shoulder to help with some extra pain I was having. It was fine all day, but last night I realized it hurt more!! But it wasn't a constant pain, it was more like bruising, so I figure it was from the injection itself. Today I am noticing it all feeling a tiny bit better. I also went in for my Physical Therapy consultation. I am hoping to get started on some aquatic therapy to alleviate even more pain and a lot of the stiffness.
This coming weekend we will be celebrating the twins fifth birthday. It truly seems surreal to me that they are already 5! I can remember so vividly the early days in the hospital, bringing them home so tiny in their carseats, and the constant lack of sleep all new parents are subjected to. Many people have asked me how we did it and my only response is that it was all we knew and we just had to do it. We have tried to give our children more than they could ever ask for. We want so much more for them than we had as kids. I am continually amazed to see how they react in the midst of every setting. Each trip we take, their reactions and learning is what makes it so much more enjoyable for me as a parent. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy traveling and exploring too, but it is so much more unique to see it through their eyes.
As I reflect on the last 5 years, I am so thankful to be blessed with such an amazing family and have met some truly special friends. I will never know the path that awaits us or our kids, but I am hopeful and trusting that God has a great plan for us all.
Resolutions Update: things are not going quite as well as I had hoped, although they are going which is still a great thing! I am cooking more healthy choices at home and attempting to get more exercise. I am still working on a budget that is appropriate and feasible for our household.
Well, I'm off to bed. It's gonna be an early morning tomorrow and a long day! We have lots and lots to do to begin our prepping for the desert trip this weekend. Celebrating the twins birthday in the dirty Superstition Mountains OHV Area. It's gonna be a blast!!
