JUST KEEP SWIMMING...

I'm missing having all the funny things my kids say and do written down. I'm missing having pictures of every HORRENDOUS mess that the boys make. I feel like I'm missing lots of things lately. I am working a lot. Then I come home and take care of naughty babies... and attention deprived (kinda) girls. The second year of this podiatry residency is KICKING MY TRASH. I think I would have a much better handle on it, if I wasn't working... but I am. I have to. We have adopted a new (temporary) motto... JUST KEEP SWIMMING. We are. We're fine. We'll get through it- just don't expect too many phone calls, or visits, or... time. It will pass. I'll get to be a stay at home mom again. I won't have to keep missing things for the girls school, plays and class parties. But for now. It is what it is... and ANY time we get to spend sitting on our couch is pretty valuable! So don't feel bad when the phone doesn't get answered, or the door doesn't get opened. Chances are, we're hiding out! xoxo

p.s. Pyper's burn is healing really well. She doesn't need skin grafts!!! I'll get a current picture when I can. For the next year, we will concentrate on her not getting skin cancer. I guess it takes a year for it to heal enough to protect against the suns rays. She already has an increased chance of Melanoma, because of my history with it. We need to be vigilant in keeping her tummy covered, and coated in sunscreen. But I'm happy (SO HAPPY) with how it looks!
