School has begun for the Fletcher girls. So far, so good. I have definetly decided that homeschooling is NOT for the faint hearted...lol. I am so glad for my mother's help...ok, she does most of it! Sydney is soo excited to learn to read that she is being super impatient. She was just positive that she should have learned to read on the very first day of school. And Lillian is not liking the fact that she has 6 days of review before she starts on new and exciting things. I will enjoy the fact that they are excited to learn because I am sure it will change!
Today has been quite a daze for me. It started off w/ my niece calling me to tell me that my Dad had hit a deer w/ his motorcycle on his way to work...which is only 3 miles from his house! Scary stuff! I LOVE this man! He is the one who taught me to play baseball, basketball, how to fish, and hunt and who pretty much never missed a ball game. He was the one who held my hand in church every Sunday for years! And now his hands are super torn up. He fractured 4 vertebrae and 1 rib. He is in lots of pain and it will be a long recovery but I am soooo thankful he is alive!
It was so interesting today...I would tear up but never really broke down and cried. I am still trying to figure out if it's just because I knew he would be ok or if it's the fact the August was so emotionally crazy w/ Grandpa and with some other REALLY hard stuff going on in our extended family. I actually think I have cried enough tears this past month that I just couldn't today...even if I wanted too! Or maybe it's the fact that through each trial I am growing closer to God and my faith is becoming stronger and stronger!! I am so glad that He is in control.
So, please keep praying for Dad...hunting season is fast approaching and I know good and well that it will be really hard on him to take things slow and let his back and rib heal!
I have been blessed to not have had too many crisis' in my family for 30 years...this year just might make up for all those years! yikes...I hope it slows down. Now to collect my thoughts before I head off to youth group!:)
