Nov. 15, 2006 - Good Morning
It is 5:30am here. I am up and tired. I went to bed at midnight. Why am I so tired you ask? Well that would be because I have 3 children in my bed right now, along with dh AND the baby has been up off and on since 4:40am with congestion. I desided to get up and get a few things done while the house is sleeping!
Our lives have been crazy lately! After 2yrs seizure free my dh had another seizure on 9-20-06. His neurologist gave him new restrictions for work/life, for 6 mnths. Well, the last restiction is so general that he is not allowed to return to his job! It also does not allow him to get a job until the restrictions are over! I am going crazy! I have always been a stay at home, homeschooling momma, and now we do not have an income! Yesterday dh's neurologist called (we have been on the phone daily trying to get them to change 1 word, that 1 word would allow him back to work) and they are still "standing firm" on the restrictions, BUT "I will ask the dr. one more time" said the nurse. UGH! This is killing dh because he is a work-a-holic! He already went from 2 to 1 job when they started back in 1-04...now he doesn't have that 1.
If I go get a job, then it's just as bad! His meds cost almost $250 a month w/out insurance. We are trying to go the route of VA (he's a vetern), Social Services, disability at work, disability through Social Security ~ all of which take 6 mnths to get, by then he can return to work!!! UGH!
It's funny because I am soooo flustered, BUT the Lord has given me inner piece. Hard to explain. Kinda like, it frusterating, BUT He is in charge, rest in Him, He will take care of everything.
Kiddos.....ha, they are a mess! Dh home for 2 mnths now has totally messed us up! They are doing okay, but we are having MUCH more sass, meaness, sleep problems, anger issues, ect. I think it's because for the past 4 weeks we have had to spend our days running here, there and everywhere trying to get daddy back to work that they are just out of routine. I feel blah at this time...I like routine! It works! So it's hard on me too. But I have to take dh because he has 6 mnths NO driving.
Man, if I didn't know who was in charge I might melt down! I am soooooo glad God is bigger than all this! I am so glad He can carry me in my weakness!
Well, going to go start some laundry and hopefully sometime in the near future I will be able to see the basement floor again :)
