I'm back in Rapid. Claire is still sick and I needed to be here to care for her. Being out of town with a husband coming off of chemo and a sick child was a dumb idea. But I had to try.
My employer, Gold Pages Publishing, is still mulling over what to do with their newest employee. Obviously they are dazzled with my amazing talent, so I am hoping they agree to let me start work once Wayne is done with chemo - it coincides with when the Black Hills campaign (the process of advertising happens in cycles) starts this fall. That means I'll be home every night. We'll see what happens. So, if anyone made bets - I officially lasted 1 week and 2 days.
Get this: I've paid for 1 entire month of daycare and the kids used 4 days total. No refunds. Ouch!
Anyway, things should settle down. The kids and I will head to the pool, go to the park, and take care of things around here. Wayne will feel better that I am close enough to handle things - as he said, "now is not the time" - for change. For complications. For hardship.
That means we're simplifying.
Simply holding each other tight and being grateful that we can. Everything else can wait.

While I was not waging bets, I must admit I had my fingers crossed for this outcome. I just didn't feel good about it either, reading into your guilt and pain. You need to be home right now. Simplify, cut-back, ride your bike, cut coupons, whatever it takes...This is best. Way to go!

Hey guys,
ReplyDeleteHang in there sister.... Just know God provides and he will. I hope Claire feels better soon. Wayne were praying for your stength and the chemo to blast all the nasty cells!
Big squeeze, Rhonda, Valentin, Natasha and Andre'
