What a day! The girls had the day off, but still woke up at the first hint of the sun rising. Around seven I was woken up and handed a note that read "please make us breakfast now". I guess I should be happy they said "please". So I got up, mostly because a three year old, a five year old, and a seven year old do not come with a snooze button. Once everyone was dressed and fed I took the girls to my mom's and headed to the gym. You know you have had a good work out when your phone feels like a ten pound weight that you cannot lift without your arms shaking. :) After the gym, I had a parent teacher conference with A's teacher. I felt bad for going stinky, but the list of things to do was just beginning. After the conference it was back to my mom's to get the girl then it was home again. Once home I fed the girls lunch, made sure everyone used the potty, and loaded them back up in the car. We drove down to visit my friend at Hallmark. On the way we stopped at the party store to pick party supplies for Brian's graduation party! :) Just in case you missed it... graduation party decorations = :)! At Hallmark I got to visit and pick up Valentines day cards. Then we ran over to Micheal's to pick up stuff for the baby shower, then it was finally time to go home! Once home it was time to make dinner while helping A finish up her Twenty Book Challenge that is due tomorrow.
Today at the Academy, Brian spent his day in emergency response class. So far he has learned how to make a splint and how to treat a chest wound. He also had his written CPR test today. Tomorrow should be about the same. Not much to write about. :)
It came up again today about how I am going to deal with worrying for Brian's safety once he is out on the road. It is a good question. In all honesty, I am a natural born worry wart. I worry about anything and everything. I even worry about worrying. I know it is a sin, but I struggle with it. In the last 12.5 years of marriage I don't think there has been a day where I have not told Brian to be safe and then said a prayer for him. I do the same for my girls. I always say "I love you. Have a good day. Be good and be safe." I leave the good part out for Brian, I just assume he will be good. :) At the beginning of this journey I was sure I was going to have a stroke because of worrying once he was out on the road. It is no secret that there have been days during this experience that I was worried about Brian making it through the academy. So it seems a little unnatural for me to say I am not freaking out with worry. Will I be praying for my husband every single day? Yes of course! I am not stupid! I know that God is in control, he has a plan, and he loves us. I also know the academy has prepared Brian for his career. The training he has received is the best and he is not even done yet! I have to have faith that God and the training will keep him safe. Being in a constant state of fear is no way to live. It gives you gray hairs...ulcers...and wrinkles. Besides God does not want that for us.
Well tomorrow M and I have MOPs, plus I am hoping to get to the bakery to order the cake for the graduation party. Again, graduation party = :)!!!!!! Still amazed we are almost done!
Blessings,
Cara
