My Dad's Heart

Yesterday was a day you hope you never have to live through. I've now lived through it twice. My dad had a heart attack. He is doing fine now, but obviously it was a highly emotional and stressful day. He had 2 stents put in to open up the blocked arteries and is coming home today. I have too many emotions to even try to write thoughtfully about this, so I will wait for another time. Instead, I will post some pictures from Memorial Day.






OvERwhelmed

I'm feeing a little overwhelmed right now. I wrongly assumed that I would breath a bit easier with the arrival of June, but have yet to slow down.

Things to do:
(note: this is probably not of interest to you & only helpful for me - sorry - it's my blog, I'll use it how I want!)

* Set up Church garage sale for Friday & Saturday
* Line up people to watch Isaac while I am gone for 8 days (this is a majority of my stress right now...the idea of leaving for a week)
* Finish unpacking
* Clean the house for a youth group movie night on Friday
* Find my shorts so I can bring them to Colorado!
* Buy new shorts if none of my old ones fit because I still have 10+ pounds to lose
* Figure out a new budget - lots of changes with renters insurance, owning a rental property, different utility bills, saving on gas, etc
* learn how to pitch so I don't suck tomorrow night
* Do a lot of SERVE planning in the next week. I won't have much time after I get back from CO to do it then!
* Clean out & do some small repairs to the old house

There are many other little things I could add, but I'll spare you. Just know that prayers are appreciated for my sanity right now. It may not seem like a lot, and really when I read it over it shouldn't be as overwhelming as it is, but I'm letting it get to me. I need to take one thing at a time, I know. Okay, enough blogging, I have to accomplish some of this stuff!
