My Life in Weeks...Week 3

Our terms at OSU are divided by weeks. We know when is due what week, what tests are what week, etc. This is week three, we are almost 1/3 done! (Yes that does not seem like much, but believe me, it is a milestone!)

I decided to post today because today is the first day at physical therapy since surgery that I made it through without a tear! YAHOO!!! Hopefully I only have three more weeks of physical therapy (this is week 6). I just had to tell you all the good news, because I have been so down about it lately. There is even some muscle contraction in my quads... (you would think there would be after SIX WEEKS!) Anyways, that is all good news...

My days are insane! I feel like I run around most of the day like a chicken with my head cut off! I run to spend mornings with the third graders, grab some sort of a lunch, take Erik to school and sit at the library, go to physical therapy or chiropractor, back to the library (where I am right now NEEDING to be doing lesson plans), get Erik, make dinner, then do homework as late as I can stand! Then I go to bed but most nights don't sleep well (I hear that most teachers have trouble with this in the beginning :) ).

Anyways, compared to last term things are already improving. Erik is happy that I am becoming more myself and am able to actually do things. I often think of myself (selfishly) and then think of others like Bill who have such a long road of recovery, but still have a great attitude. I have struggled with letting it all go and giving it to the Lord, but when I FINALLY do everything seems so much more simple and there is WAY less heartache!

Be blessed this week!
