Feeling Accomplished

Today I am feel super accomplished!  I have done a grand total of two things, that's right two!  #1...fed & played with Mr. Samuel, most important thing on the list! #2...cleared out the very very very small flower or should I say weed bed next to the front door!  Now to most of you, like my mother, this is like a really really small task that could have been done in about 15 seconds on any given day. For me,  it's one of the least important things on my list! Just so you know I have been watching it grow weeds sense spring and finally today, after noticing that one of the weeds was almost as tall as me when I stand on the porch decided that it was time to tackle the beast. It took me about 20 minutes start to finish...not bad.  I went out by myself and left Mr. Samuel playing on the floor inside...when I came back in this is what I found. :) 

I have loved only working two days this week, it's much easier to take care of the house when you have more than two days to clean it and still enjoy spending time with Mr. Samuel. With the upcoming surgery I find that I want to spend more time with him and less time working on things I know need to be done. He won't be himself for anywhere from 4-8 weeks after the surgery and so I am trying to fit in as many smiles and laughs as well as having as much play time as possible.  We continue to work on all our physical therapy stretches and activities on a daily basis, which some days prove to be a challenge for both of us.  But, we keep at it and are happy to be seeing results in all the areas we have to work on.  The Lord has been so good and so very very faithful to us through all the many trials of the last year.  Can't believe it's been almost a year sense I found out about my Diabetes and the reason for many of the complications we have faced with Mr. Samuel. It fills me with Thankfulness to know that I haven't had to work through all the bumps in the road on my own. I am thankful for the Lord being with me through everything and that He has provided such strong and amazing Christian family and friends to support, encourage, and love me and us through everything. I don't know how people deal with hardships and trials without the Lord to lean on.

Well while Mr. Samuel is still asleep I think I will try and tackle a through cleaning of the kitchen and a cup of coffee.  Well looks like I might just get the cup of coffee, Mr. Samuel's eyes just popped open! :)

Love You all so much!
