We are in the middle of just regular days. Busy days, but generally nothing out of the ordinary. Catherine is home sick today, and Andrew is with her, but that is about it. Hopefully he gets her to the doctor sooner rather than later. She woke up with a fever of 101.5 this morning, and I would really like to be home with her, but I don't get paid if I'm not here. Hopefully her fever isn't so high tomorrow, and if she needs to be home hopefully she can hang in there by herself.
My motivation to have a clean house plummeted yesterday. I hate the fact that my house is not picked up as much as I would like. Since Catherine didn't feel well, I had to do the transporting for Thomas. Andrew was working at the boys' basketball game. I had awakened with a migraine yesterday, but fortunately was scheduled at the elementary so I could lay in bed for awhile which helped it go away (along with meds). I only worked half a day, but then spend another couple of hours at my church job. I then worked on my taxes last evening, which honestly was depressing. We don't owe anything this year, but the new tax laws were not in our favor.
Andrew and I also discussed that there was a little bit of sadness regarding Robert as well. He officially graduated from his training yesterday, and is being stationed in the Pacific for three year. I texted yesterday to confirm it was his graduation, congratulate him, and ask when he was departing. He literally was leaving in only a couple of hours. The fact that he is leaving the country for years and didn't think to contact us was hurtful. We understand he is 19 and this may not be personal, but it hurts none-the-less.
On the upside, our house functions very well as a little family of four. I am so, so grateful for this life that I have and for the family with whom I share it. The days are flying by so incredibly quickly, and I'm wanting to cherish the times!
