I am again tired tonight. Jay, Amelia, and I spent the day in Montgomery yesterday because Jay had to have a root canal on that lovely little abscessed tooth. We came home and Lucie Rose had the late soccer game. Then there was supper to fix and baths to be had. I just thought I was tired last night. But tonight, tonight I'm weary tired. You see Cooper fell during a game of two hand touch at LR's soccer game. He favored his left arm all night and woke up still in pretty good pain. So, we did some school while waiting to hear back from the phone nurse at Southern Bone and Joint.
Three years ago he broke his humerus and dislocated his elbow after falling from the trampoline. This was once again that same arm. So, I just called his orthopedist. They wanted to see him at 1:20 in Dothan, no less. Dothan and Montgomery are both an hour from our house in opposite directions. Bless my mama, she kept Coop and LR yesterday and today she kept Jay and LR. We went down and had his arm x-rayed. Sure enough it is once again broken. He is wearing a cast from upper arm to his finger tips. Then, we had the late soccer game again tonight. Again, there was a late dinner and bath time for all of the kiddos. They are finally in bed and I am finally sitting down to blog. It is 12:04 am. I'm a zombie! Honestly, I fear I will read this again tomorrow to find it made little sense. Such is life, right?
Needless to say, very little schooling has been accomplished in the last two days. I have tried to motivate the boys at least to get a few things done so we do not have to much catching up to do. It has been hard to say the least. The beauty of homeschooling is that tomorrow we will maybe sleep in a little and then pick back up where we left off. We have some 4H projects to complete. So, I am thinking we will for sure do bible, math and reading. Then we will work on 4H. I am not stressed out per say, just tired. I am ready for some boring!!! Not a huge fan of drama!
Homeschooling was and is a true desire of my heart and I am truly delighted in my Lord that He has allowed us to be able to do this. I know He will provide all of our needs. Please pray that Jay's tooth heals nicely and that Cooper's arm will also heal and cause as little pain as possible. He has already expressed discomfort from the cast as well as pain from the fracture. He was blessed in that it was a minor fracture and the weather is cooler making the whole cast thing so much more bearable. Jay bounced back very quickly from a root canal which I am not sure I could do. They both go back in four weeks for follow-up appointments.
Prayers are so appreciated for our family right now. Thank you in advance and know that I am praying that somehow, someway our experiences in homeschooling and life have blessed you in even a small way.
Much love,
Hang in there, I'm praying for the rest of October to be boring, routine and uneventful :) That is alot to take in one short week, I hope you all have caught up on some resting!
