: ) Church.

Sorry to skip yesterday.  Sometimes I get a little stubborn and think I can do it all without a little help from my Lortab.  I don't like taking narcotics if I can avoid it, but yesterday, I really shouldn't have avoided it for so long!  By the time I went to bed, I was in so much pain and feeling really overwhelmed.  You could say I overdid it yesterday.  We got the kids lunch and then we went to lunch at Thyme and Seasons.  When I walk in, Hei knows to start making me Chicken Curry.  It is the same every time!  After that we did a little "case lot" shopping at Winegars and then to Walmart for cereal.  That was probably more than I should have done, especially with no pills to help me through.

I called Janet yesterday to see if she has a chair and hair-washing sink.  She's done hair for years so I was hoping she did!  I went over this morning and she washed my hair (because I can't shower until the end of the week) so I could feel good about going to church today.  I'm so grateful for her!  She's so willing to do whatever she can to help out. Hopefully I'll get my drain out on Thursday and I can shower again.  She had a quote on a shelf that I love and is so appropriate for me right now.  Neal Maxwell said:

• "Endurance is more than pacing up and down within the cell of our circumstances.  It is to act for ourselves by magnifying what is allotted to us."

Isn't that cool?  I really like that and I'm glad she had it where I could see it.  Church was great today, it was great to be there.  The moment we walk in we have people offering to help with the baby.  Today Alli and her kids took her.  It was so great to look over during Sacrament Meeting and see the baby sleeping on the lap of her 12 yr. old!  Everyone is so kind and supportive and amazed at how well I'm doing.  I did take a couple of Lortab this morning, so I was having a hard time keeping my eyes open during Sunday School.  Luckily, it was my friend Becky teaching, so I talked to her after church and explained myself!  We thank you all for your prayers, your love, and all of the help we are getting from so many people!
