Stressors

So lately things have been weighing on me and I think that the stress of it all is proving to cause me some issues. I am really trying to put everything in God's hands and just do the best I can with all of it. I have started back at the catholic church and am loving it. Even Chris is liking it and the girls love it! I am trying to figure things out to get the younger two baptized and get Whytney her first communion and all of that accomplished. But there is just so many other things that it's not at the forefront of my mind all the time.

One of the biggest things is that Chris has about 14 months left in the army and then he is finished. Even if he wanted to stay in the army is increasingly becoming worse so it is what he wants. He wants to go to school and finally do what he has been wanting for a very long time. This makes me happy because I want him happy. But it does scare me and worry me because of how many doctors Meadow sees and her medication. I just pray that she is able to receive the care with my insurance she does on his.

Another thing is that I am teaching again. I have been teaching again for almost two months and I love being back in the classroom. However, it is proving to be very challenging. I have had a few issues, and do not feel that I have the best support there. The teachers I work with are fantastic and they are great. If it weren't for them I'm not sure I would be doing as well as I am.

Meadow is, as always, at the base of many huge things. She is now in therapy outside of school for speech and OT. This is helping her and I am grateful that her doctor realized she needed this extra help. She is doing really well and we are very proud of the accomplishments she has been making. Whytney is another story. This semester has been horrible for her and her grades are horrific. But she is in tutoring now and hopefully her grade in math will begin to improve.

I have other things on my mind and I am just praying that the Lord helps me let them go. I am trying to understand that until my family is where it needs to be I don't need to worry about other things around us.
