and it started out so well...
how is it that this wonderful day that started out with such promise has turned into "how to end the day feeling like you want to murder people who live in your house and may possibly call you "wife"??"...let's go back to the beginning shall we...Miss Courtney had a phenom OT appointment this morning...I mean she rocked the joint...she did her sit to stand transitions beautifully...she tolerated being placed on all fours thereby bearing weight through her upper body which is her weakest part...she held onto the ropes of the swing they had her on...and the BIGGEST most AWESOMEST part was that during her feeding session, she help her spoon and put her oatmeal in her mouth with only a little direction from me at her elbow...AMAZING to see her work so hard and actually make progress...the kind of progress that we had given up on a year ago...I mean her funeral was planned and the plot picked out and now we are talking about the possibilities of her standing independently...WHAT????...SERIOUSLY???...oh yes my friends my girl on fire...it is pretty wonderful to watch I gotta say...even with a bad cold and sinus infection she keeps fighting hard and moving forward...so we celebrated with ice cream for Mama and yogurt for Miss C and by 5 pm it was all coming apart...Daddy came home grumpy and then Mama got grumpy at Daddy being grumpy...and so on...and so on...yeah, yeah, yeah, so apparently I am NOT going to win any awards for being a Proverbs 31 wife tonight...heck...Is there a Proverbs 32???....cause I might make that chapter...why do men have to be so unmoving sometimes??...it is quite annoying I must say...because you know I am right and he is wrong...just putting it out there that some people had best find their JOY by the morning or this woman may take somebody out...always keeping it real here at Passionate Persevering some peace and quite far away from unmoving bad attitudes...yep...now for something salty and crunchy...followed by something sweet and creamy...then repeat...and repeat...
but remember, never let anyone steal YOUR joy!
ReplyDeleteLOL! True dat my friend. I told the two males in my house they had better have a new attitude by morning because this gil was NOT going to let them bring her down to grumpyland with them. Oy vey they test me...
DeletePraying for you!!! I have had that kind of night myself...except I am the one with the grumps! LOL!
ReplyDeleteThanks Therese! It turned out OK and today has been much better!
Deletethis is amazing progress -- she is showing strength through the strength of those around her. that does suck about the afternoon slide of the day.
ReplyDeleteMiss Katie - Courtney amazes us every single day. Who knows where we will be in a few months let alone a year. I can't wait.
Deletefunny--on mine, after i read it it has the three suggested posts "you might also enjoy"
ReplyDeleteand the first one is "why my hubby is my best friend" 2010
:)))
LOL! Yes he is indeed my best friend, but even best friends have moments of disagreement. Needless to say when you have been married for 25 years, you might get frustrated from time to time but we have figured out how to come to a peaceful place much quicker than we used to. Thanks Maria for the reminder.
