VERY Productive Day!

 

Today was a RARE day for me!  It was very productive:)

 

I got up early went to Yoga and water aerobics.  We pay just $35 a month for a family membership to the Y.  I am so thankful for the YMCA.  The yoga class (Senior Sneakers) helps me.  I've been so stiff now for months and months and in such pain.  My neck and shoulders hurt all the time and I have less range of motion than Selah has in my neck/shoulders.  Since I've been going to the class, Jon tells me I don't groan in my sleep anymore.  Evidently whenever I'd move when I was asleep I'd groan!  I still hurt but this has helped me more than massages or anything else.  I wouldn't take any medicine because I don't like to take meds!  Advil or Tylenol did nothing to help and anything else...is just not good for me.  Plus I have to be able to react to the kids if I'm needed.   The past 4 weeks have really helped me.  the water aerobics is also a senior sneakers class but it gets me moving:)

 

Then I came home, jumped in the shower and went to meet my friend for a quick lunch before going to the attorney's office.

Yvonne and Kandi

 

I'd been craving sugar cookies....no one had any so I had two cupcakes instead:)  I'm not a "sweets person" and do NOT keep anything like that in the house BUT sometimes a girl just has to have something! 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Then I met with a wonderful sweet lawyer that my friend Kandi had contacted for me.  She is going to help me get all the paperwork in for our RE adoption of the girls and Shad.  I am so very thankful and will ask if I can share her name on here to give her some publicity.  I so appreciate her interest in helping our family!!!!!

 

As I was going home, down our road I saw a ton of these...

 

 

(yes I live in the country!)

 

We had a tree that would get these every year and my uncle would have me pick up the worms so he could use them to fish with.   I could not for the life of me remember the name of them.  Some friends suggested Web worms....then another friend said they were Catoga worms that's what I remember them being called.  We have them up and down our road. 

 

Once I got home, I started working on Shad's scholarship from Step Up For Students Florida.  I thought I had some outstanding paperwork and that I had missed a deadline.   Thankfully I was wrong and he has received the scholarship!!!  YEAH!  he is ready to go back to his school in the fall!!!!

 

 

On top of that I am still working on our appeal to our insurance company for Selah's nursing....got some good advice today. 

 

 

Of course now I am behind on Sam's eye drops!  I can only get ahead in one thing at a time.  The story of my life.

 

Selah is doing ok, she had a small storm when we got back from Speech yesterday....although I was about ready to "storm " too.  I don't' really care for her speech therapist.   None of this is our "first rodeo" and we have had some really great therapists over the years....this one is NOT in that category although she thinks she is!  LOL  Believe we will be looking for another therapist for Selah.  Selah gets upset every time we go.  She is quite used to therapy and she doesn't mind going out in the car...it is the therapist.   

 

 

But Selah had a great night last night and rested well.  That is a good sign for her.

 

Thank you for continuing to pray for Selah

 

This picture was taken a year ago today, so wish we could go back....

 

 

Selah is in the middle
