I am sitting here watching Sesame Street with my 4 year old son while my infant son & husband sleep in our oversized chair.... this seems mundane, I know. But lately our lives have been in complete chaos and this morning, we are grateful for the mundane.
THIS MORNING, we aren't worried about bills, where the food will come from, my infant's impending brain surgery, court dates, insurance (or lack thereof), jobs, allergic reactions... really I could go on.
THIS MORNING we are your typical American family watching Elmo dance & sing and dozing in a big comfy chair. This morning our lives are normal.
I wish it would stay that way.
But THIS AFTERNOON I have to call two different Dr's and the hospital and talk to them about the money we owe them. TOMORROW I have to go to DHS to try and get my infant insured before his surgery. NEXT WEEK I will hand my sweet baby over to a surgeon so that he can have a shunt put in his head to drain the fluid off of his brain. NEXT MONTH we will go to court for what I hope is the last time.
But none of that matters THIS MORNING. Because, THIS MORNING we are counting and singing and doing laundry & making lunch plans. THIS MORNING we are thanking God for the peace & quiet, and that things seem to be in control. At least for THIS MORNING.
