Whirlwind....

Ever felt like you were in a whirlwind? Come join me. It's an exhausting feeling! lol. Waiting on some inspections, etc., but believe the house is sold.....to the first person who called! That means we are in the process of packing, already moved some things actually. Soooo excited about the new house!! I just cannot wait!! Hopefully things will work out so that we can start Kade at the new school at the beginning of the year. I just hate to start one school and pull him out and start another one. We shall see...

Speaking of Kade....I laughed when I was thinking of what I was going to blog about today. I kind of feel like this blog has turned into a diary of Kade's mishaps...and boy do we have a doozy of a new one! Sunday afternoon after church Kade went to a friend's house after church. And you know, boys will be boys! The boys had an air soft gun out playing around and.....Kade got shot in the eye. I really thought it would be fine but....it's not. Took him to the eye doctor and they immediately sent him to a specialist - who he is now seeing EVERY day. He has a bleed behind his cornea and if they can get it stopped, the chances of his vision being unaffected are great, if they can't get it stopped, we have a problem.

And....do you know how you try to stop a bleed behind a cornea, other than meds?! You lay flat - 24/7, except to go to the bathroom and to eat (quickly!). They say probably at least two weeks, but possibly two months!?! Have you ever tried to make an eleven year old lay flat without any sudden movements or getting up!?! NOT.AN.EASY.TASK!!!!! So...please pray - FOR ME! Kade seems to be doing fine. No pain except for a headache every once in a while. As for me, Lee told me yesterday that I really needed to quit being hysterical - which I definitely was. I was trying to deal with doctors and specialist and pharmacies (ugh! ugh! UGH!). And let me just rant a moment - don't you think if you walk into a pharmacy with an 11 year old who has a big...blue...huge...patch kind of thing, on his eye - and he's laid back in a chair and his mother is squalling - COULD THE PHARMACY TECHS NOT BE A LITTLE NICER! I was good - I didn't say a word. But oh my goodness, by the time I left that place, WITHOUT MY PRESCRIPTIONS, I was most definitely a hysterical person on the inside!!!! I would still love to go back and see that same little girl and tell her that she really needs to have a heart!!!! Off my rant now.....

Everyone stay cool and BE SAFE!!!! And don't let your kids have air soft guns - better yet - DON'T BUY YOUR KIDS GUNS AT ALL!!! Just my opinion of course.... :)

Why did I have a little boy - I should have stopped with Alea! Boys will be boys is the one phrase I don't ever like to hear!
