My Thoughts...

It's taken awhile to update my blog. I guess things have just been a little crazy around here. I haven't felt like I've had the time to sit down a write without any major interruptions.

This was the book for February. "Forgiving Ourselves." I really enjoyed it after struggling through the first section. The book did a real good job of defining and separating "sin" from "human weakness." I learned a lot about myself and different relationships that I've created. I realized how hard I am on myself and how I manage to repeat patterns of negative "self talk." This is an amazingly positive self-help book and a good read, however it does require a lot of concentration. It has been fun trying some of the techniques from the book.

Noah and Zoe are sick with a cold and are driving me crazy. They fight over me and whine about random body parts hurting. This morning Noah was complaining that his eyes hurt. All because he wanted to lay by me and not have Zoe in the middle. When they cough you ask if and what hurts and their reply is "my leg."

My dad was in Vegas this week for work, but ended up in the Desert Springs hospital. He had his gall bladder removed this evening and seems to be doing well. I guess he started having severe pain Monday night and one of his co-workers rushed him to the hospital Tuesday morning. My mom flew down there last minute yesterday and they finally determined what the cause was and operated this evening. Kind of crazy. It's nice being from a larger family with people spread out and able to help on both ends. In Placerville to watch Chelsea and take my Mom to the airport and in Vegas to be willing to pick my Mom up or do what ever else is needed. I was kind of stuck as the road conditions were not in my favor yesterday or today.

I finally went to the Doctor this past month for a physical as a result, I think I've found the answer I've been looking for, when it comes to the medical abnormalities I've been experiencing these past few years. I had blood work done earlier this week and more tests next week to be sure. But I have faith in my new Doctor and his initial diagnosis. I am really confident that he can figure things out and help me get healthier. With the little research I've done this past week everything is starting to make since, I just hope we have caught things soon enough.
