So an apology is in order to those who follow my blog and find it lacking in any new information or pictures lately. My computer has been on the fritz and it's super slow to upload any photos and function on any level for that matter, so I have leaned towards not messing with it rather than try to fix it. I did spend one entire day on it to get it somewhat functional, and then the kids spent time watching videos on it & we're back to square one for some reason. Most of all, I need to move some photos and delete them from my computer so it won't slow it down, but that takes time, and right now that isn't something I have to myself. I also have been having back & shoulder issues, so sitting at my computer for lengths of time gets pretty painful.
So you know how December's go, so I won't go on about that, and I will attempt to get some pictures on here soon.
Jason's schedule with Masters classes and 2 admin jobs has got him pretty much home to sleep. Every once in a while, he gets some spare time, but at that point he just wants to "vejj" on the couch and decompress, and I don't blame him. I just try to keep up with the house so he can do that and not feel like he needs to do anything when he actually IS home.
I have been trying to keep up with it all & have realized that I can't & embrace some sense of sanity with it unless I do 2 things...PRAY and let some things go. That's a work in progress!
We had some running back and forth to Mankato (2 hour drive) to confirm what we originally thought...that AJ has a torn ACL, an injury that rarely happens in 12 year olds. What that means is: no sports, reconstruction ACL knee surgery, 6 months of rehab, then we can think about sports again. If you know AJ at all, you know that this sort of injury is killing him, because ever since he could kick or throw a ball with his daddy, sports are all he's been about. So, we have surgery finally scheduled for Feb. 19th and then my life will be more about travelling to rehab appointments and checkups than all of the other stuff I've been occupied with. So, in a way, it's confirmation to prayers that I need to let go of some things that I have done for a long time to keep me busy, so I can concentrate now on what I NEED to do & not what I WANT to do.
Thanks for sticking with us & I'll hopefully be able to get on here soon with more updates.
