Get Away

We had crazy week last week. Kendra broke her foot on Thursday and we were dealing with that. and just a ton of other little things piled up and started overwhelming me. To the point of not being able to do anything.......I sat on a chair and played with the girls reading them books and singing songs, but allowed the house to fall apart. Overwhelmed on where to start cleaning, I would finish a room start on the next and carted things back and forth from room to room messing back up the first. I stopped for Angel Food distribution......... about 1 o'clock Kendra fell at church........her crutches or rather one crutch got stuck in the door and did not swing when she did and she went down. Not a good thing at all. Mr. Arlie lifted the poor girl into a chair and we decided to go be loved on as I needed some help. So by 130 we had run home, packed a overnight bag and took off. We enjoyed great fellowship that night with a bunch of friends at our former church. We participated in their baby day celebration the next morning......helped Isabella celebrate her 3rd birthday at Golden Corral, went shopping at Goody's (going out of business sale) went to see Prince Caspian movie (Zoe stayed with Arlie and Sarah) and ended up home after everything about 915pm on Sunday. I needed that, the kiddos needed that.....and wish it could happen more often. Being away from family is awful......as not everyone can help out with the little things when so far away. I needed a slight reprieve.....less responsibilities for just a few hours. I feel so much better today although walking into the house was like a cold splash of water to the face!
