Today was a down day for Gary. He is trying so incredibly hard to make it through each day and he would love to have just one day when he wasn't uncomfortable or in pain or compromised in some way. When I think about how long he has been hurting it has basically been this entire 2007 calendar year. That is one heck of a long time to feel cruddy. Like I said before this pain is different. It does not make it better. But, he is healing and we have so much to be thankful for.
I look forward to Sundays for many reasons. Every other week we get to hang with our Home Group - 10 adults and 13 kids! We also get to spend time with so many of our friends from church. Since Gary has been down and out John Grudynski & Matt Sather have been helping me out with set up and tear down each week. All of my teachers have helped me so much with some added responsibility including cleanup! I just love going to church and I love the boys being a part of our church family!
Zach has a baseball game tomorrow afternoon. I have to do my Grocery Game list tonight so I can save some serious $$$$ at Ralphs! We are having dinner with friends tomorrow night and we of course have to put the finishing touches on the homework! It is always action packed on Sundays!
Evidentally the boys watched a really interesting show today called Ghost Stories. I just want to say that it was not on my watch! I understand that these are "real" stories. Have the boys ever watched anything like that? NO!!!!!!!!! Now, I am paying the price. Jax is afraid to go to sleep in his room and is waiting for me to either sleep with him or he wants to sleep in our bedroom! What a great show! Can't wait for them to watch another episode!
Hobie is barking and I need to tend to the little guy and make sure Gary is comfortable and doesn't need anything before I go back to cleaning the house!
I hope everyone has a great evening and a wonderful Sunday!
Love & Smiles,

Gary - I can only hope these words will comfort you. I have been where you are. I have been where I prayed, begged, and cried for just 10 minutes of physical comfort. It will eventually come. Hold on. It will pass. It seems like it lasts forever, but really in the grand scheme of things it is a short time. Take deep breaths and try to calm your mind. And don't try to be a hero, and and use the pain medications if you need them! Geez! :) Tyra
