If we were sitting down with a cup of coffee these are some of the things that I would share with you..
// My MIL is back in the hospital. The infection has not cleared like we thought and we are back to figuring out how to get rid of it so she can get back to chemo and kicking cancers butt.
// My spirits have been so down lately. I try so hard to stay positive and keep everything light and uplighting on the blog but man its tough when we are dealing with such a sad situation.
// My boys keep me going! They have not skipped a beat with their Nana being in the hospital and then to rehab...They show up to visit with a smile. They both give the sweetest most tender hugs. Jack knows that Nana is sick but it doesn't bother him one bit. This makes my heart happy because when it comes down to it my heart breaks that cancer is robbing them of the wonderful woman that their nana is. I just pray that we get our miracle and they will get to truly know just how special she is.
// Jack starts soccer in two weeks and I'm equal parts excited and regretting signing him up. ha! I I like our lazy Saturday mornings, now we are going to have to be up and out of the house before 9 am! I am also scared about Graham going with us, homeboy is going to be all over the place. I'm seriously debating getting a sitter to come over and play with him for the hour we are gone. I don't want to miss out watching jack because I'm chasing Graham around.
// I am headed to Charlotte this weekend to celebrate Patricks precious cousin with a wedding shower. I am going with his aunt Patsy and am so looking forward to a weekend of girly stuff. We are going to go to one of her dress fittings and I am hoping that I can squeeze in a visit with a few blogger girlfriends turned real life friends!
// Next week the boys don't have any camps and school doesn't start until the following week so we are packing up and heading to the mountains to see my best friend. I haven't seen her in over 2 years!! y'all, that's crazy, we both have had second babies and not met them! I can't wait to squeeze her neck and watch our kids play, funny enough, she has 2 girls who are stepping stones to my boys, and have red hair! It's going to be the cutest little friend fest!
// I have convinced Patrick to let me get estimates on getting new counter tops in our kitchen! This is something I've wanted to do for awhile. We have dark granite and it's fine, but I definitely would love to brighten it up with some white. I have found a quartz that I love! Stay tuned...we will see if he actually lets me pull the trigger and do it!
Okay that is enough chatting. Thank you so much for letting me be a bit of a downer lately. This is definitely my outlet and I am such a sharer that I can't just keep this in. Come back tomorrow, I'm sharing 5 things that bring me joy!
*linking up with Annie and Danielle
I hope you get the countertops you want! I like your kitchen the way it is, but I understand wanting something a little brighter. I regret picking out the countertops I did haha! Prayers for your MIL and for you, my friend!

Continued prayers for Donna and the rest of your family. Cancer sucks! How exciting to pick out new countertops! Can't wait to see what you choose. And yay for going away for the weekend -- especially when the boys don't have school or camp. Whew, that will make that week go by SO much faster!
ReplyDeleteContinuing to send thoughts and prayers to your MIL. So sorry the infection is back. Yay for new countertops. That's so exciting. I hope Patrick lets you order them. :)
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your trip before the craziness of school and soccer starts. I'll be praying for your MIL. I know this has to be such a stressful time for your family.
ReplyDeleteI am continuing to pray for your sweet mother in law. She is lucky to have you and those sweet boys there to be so supportive to her. And I hope you enjoy your weekend and then next week with your friend-you deserve some fun!
ReplyDeleteI keep praying for you guys! Such a tough time to go through! On a lighter note, I think soccer will be fun, but I could totally see getting someone to watch Graham so you can pay attention. Otherwise you and Patrick might have to take turns running after him. :)
ReplyDeleteSo sorry about your MIL. I hope you have a great time with your family and friends coming up!
ReplyDeleteI'm still praying for your MIL. I hate to hear that the infection is back.
ReplyDeleteAnd I feel the same way about soccer... we are SO excited for it, but gone are the days of having Saturday mornings to do nothing. And gone are regular bedtimes on the nights he has practice. EEK. Last week the kids were an hour late going to bed. It was bad.
I can't wait to see those countertops. I love quartz. That is what we got. Yay for seeing your friend next week. And a wedding shower this weekend. You are going to have a blast. My prayers are with your MIL and her recovery.
ReplyDeleteAlways thinking about you guys. I'm glad you get to have a getaway this weekend and next week... you totally deserve it <3
