Doing it with one hand tied behind my back!
Ever feel like that? Everything you do or try to do seems harder than it should be, like you have one hand tied behind your back!
For me it has literally been like that.
Let me start by updating you from my last blog.
April 28:
I honestly can't remember what was going on that morning, I have been racking my brain all day. But I do know what happened at about 130pm. I dropped Thomas off at my friends so I could go to a Dr's appointment.
Simple enough, see the Dr about a cyst on my hand that has been bothering me and have him cut it off. I took Miss E with me because she was not in the best of moods. She cried the entire way to the Dr office and most of the time we were there. The receptionist was compassionate and took her while I had the removal procedure done. I was able to have a local because it was going to hurt, but he said that I would have to express my next feeding and throw it out just in case. Once the procedure begins, he tells me he has to make a bigger incision because of the cysts shape. Nothing is ever simple. I walk out with one less cyst and 5 stitches. Still numb, feeling okay. Oh and the best part, really, no dishes or bathes for 2 weeks, or until the stitches dissolve. :) Not too bad. Keith was/is okay with it.
That afternoon, 4ish my Mom arrives. Emily had a rough early evening and Keith had a back to school night until 8pm. We had Taco Bell for dinner. I only mention this because I did not feel all that great after eating it. I should have known better. Every time I eat there I get a icky tummy.

Keith is off to work and Grandma is home with me and T & E. We fixed T & E's room even more. It looks better and the toys were organized. (Past tense because Thomas is almost 2). Need I say any more? If so, think of a hurricane and name it Thomas. 'nuf said.
That night Keith & I went out to a Grizzley (can't spell) baseball game. He got free tickets from some book company. It included snacks, dinner, beverages, both adult & Rated G beverages. It was great! We were right up the middle in center field, under the score board. Great seats. Great food and good times. Oh, did I mention no children. It was nice to be among the living and be just Keith & Mandy. It has been so long since we have been out, just the two of us, I can not even remember the last time.

Saturday morning. Did not do much. Hung out and Grandma left. That evening Keith & I had a "melt down" but now all is well. Oh, I finally read my email! "FW:Virtual candle passing" I deleted it because is was so big!! Sorry. But I went back and down loaded it and found out (better late than never) Alisha is getting married!!!!! :)
May 1
Sunday! I can not believe it's May already! Where did April go!?! Went to Sunday School & Church. Things are back to normal, whatever that is. Took a nap & went to the store for milk. Look out! It's getting exciting!!
May 2
Went to MOPS. Great speaker & topic. It was a grief and the loss of a child. Really hard to listen to, but I am glad I did. I learned a whole lot. I was a hot dog dinner day.
May 3
That's today! Went to bible study, the last one until Sept 8. I'll miss those ladies this summer. Kids took nap, mom picked up. I thought about how Thomas is going to be 2! May 27th, my little guy will be 2! And thought about how the 7 year itch is almost over, May 24th will be year 8 for us! Some times it feels like yesterday, and others it feels like eternity.
Went for a walk. Played outside. And updated you! Now I am off to pick up again and start dinner.
I hope you all are well. God is Great! He is good & His love for us is ever lasting. Isn't cool!?!
