I realized something , which in my opinion was profound.....
If God only gives you what you can handle, I am stronger than I think, because he continues to pile it on and I have not yet collapsed.
My husband constantly reminds me that I am stronger than I think I am. I usually don't stop to analyse this because the moment I stop I am afraid I will collapse. If I just keep going, the momentum keeps the chaos in motion and therefore it does not collapse and bury me.
Here is the current update of the chaos that is my life :
Dad- Continues with his chemo. I believe this week makes 5 treatments. He is continuing to have good and bad days.
Sarah- Started chemo this week. Not sure how she will react. This morning she was feeling ok.
Cleveland House - Inspection hopefully will take place tomorrow and barring anything catastrophic, we should be able to start the final paper work and take possession soon. The current date is set for the 21st but we are trying for sooner.
Tim- Got the job at Stables Bar and Grill in Kearney. WHA-HOOO!!!
Nic - is being the dutiful son and helping me compile birthdays and such for a massive project I have going of a family info chart.
Ian - turns 6 next week (11/10). Still trying to come up with cool party ideas. Lisa and I are planning a joint party for all the November birthdays....James, Ian, Sammie, Cassie, Matthew...did I forget anyone?
Rosie - is being 2. Enough said.
My grandfather Mayo passed away last weekend. Dad, Meg, Matt, and Sammie went to Texas for the service. I have been at Mom's to help with the animals and Meg's kids.
I have multiple projects going....
Family info chart which included extended family.
Recipe collection / book (I could use help if anyone wants to email me recipes HINT-HINT)
Ian's kuddler Blanket for his birthday
Baby blankets for my friends who are expecting
Birthday/Christmas presents for the boys and family.
Christmas present for Dad....look for email on this one!
and Yes, I suffer from insomnia and these are the things I work on when I cant sleep. It is amazing the brilliant ideas you come up with at 3am.

The hardest thing for me to say to you is that you are not only strong, you are much stronger than me. I have collapsed several times of late and haven't let anyone see it. You have with me a time or two. That to me shows you are twice as strong as I will ever be.
Things are tough right now and we are bumping heads on so many silly little things, but the one thing I do know is that no one cares for me more than you do and daily I thank God for that because I truly do not deserve it.
I am a very lucky man to have a wife that can make even mighty Atlas shrug.
(Sorry about deleting the first post. This one is the same post, but with the W's added. I'll check the laptop for you. :-) )
