Routine.

   

I am the kinda gal that NEEDS routine in order to function and be productive. Like every morning we drop Hayden off at school, go for a walk and get the mail. Afternoons are for quiet time, go pick up Hayden, play outside, get supper ready, Dave is home, supper, playtime, bath time, night snack, bible story, bedtime prayers and good night!  Mondays are for baking, Wednesday and Thursday are for laundry and Friday is deep clean the house day! Every day is designated to something. And when that routine is out of sorts, then I am out of sorts to. When I feel this way I get overwhelmed, stressed and I pretty much don't do anything, freeze and panic! This week is one of those weeks. 

Hayden got his tonsils out and it has not been the best recovery for him. He got the flu and a cold on top of everything.  He hasn`t been sleeping very good, or eating. Thank God he is still drinking. And I can`t sleep cause I am worried sick about him. He`s been sleeping with me in our bed and every noise he makes freaks me out, and the vomit oh Lord I do not think I have been so sad and freaked out hearing someone vomit. Anyways, our routine has gone to the wind. Which of course this has made me a negative, uptight,  and overwhelmed crazy person! 

BUT today I woke up and the sun was shining and I told myself to get my shit together and CALM THE ( you know what ) DOWN! 

Think of the good things that have happened this week and the things to be thankful for! Here`s my little list:

1)  a surprise visit from my mom and dad. Who came bearing us gifts, lots of food and treats! It made my day and the boys day! They also came and visited Hayden in the hospital and he still talks about it. 

2) Dave. He still has energy to take the boys outside when he gets home from work and play! And for sleeping with Willy in his bed because he wanted to have a sleepover too! 

3) for the texts and messages from people telling Hayden that they are praying and thinking about him! 

4) and for Hayden, Willy, and Kash`s health. As I waited for Hayden to be done his surgery I went for a little walk within the hospital and I saw kids that were clearly very sick. It was heartbreaking.  Made me so thankful the we were in there only for his tonsils and nothing else. 

Soon, Hayden will be healed and back to his normal self and life will be back to normal again. And for that I am VERY thankful for. For now, the laundry can go unfolded, and floors can go unwashed, and who cares about the routine. Also, its been kinda nice that the routine has gone to wind. Kinda like this lying around with the boys eating popsicle's and watching movies all day! KINDA. 

The beautiful flowers we came home to. Willy was super pumped because he knows my favorite flower is sunflowers.
