temp drops...

well last nite jons temp dropped..so that is good..i got up and made his appt with the doctor for his UTI and to check on his ankle - so scratch that off my forever to do list!! his appt is at 3pm..scott should be here so he can help and watch the girls while we go and get back real quick...
i think while he is doing his PT and OT which are back to back today...i will run down to the medical place and hand in everything - there ms. campbell who is helping me at the office there will go thru it all to make sure its good..then i can scratch that off my list too..only to add 50 other things! Y:IKES!!
i got a call from social security disability stating that they contacted loma linda and they said loma linda said that they have no record of jon...LOVELY! anyway - so i had to give this person a bunch of information..loma linda will just have to look a little harder i guess - so classic!!
this morning was crazy..the girl was here to pick up my younger 2 girls, i thought anna was dressed, but she wasnt...so i was hurrying to get her dressed, then of course could only find one she of THREE different pairs of sandles!?!?! so she got to wear mismatching shoes - oh well - pick your battles- thats the theme of my life right now!! then sarah was BAWLING because she couldnt go with them, then the phone starting ringing for they day (social security), added with jon asking where his breakfast was, the nurse upstairs still asleep even though its 9am, and me just wanting to hurry and take a shower...AHHHHHH...i had to remind everyone that im only one person with two hands taking care of 5 people..one of them counting as 3!!!
anyway - so crazy morning already - and its only 10am..i got everyone finished up and hurried for my 2 minutes shower- more like a hose down off-but atleast im not dirty i guess...
i taught the older 2 girls how to do the laundry - i think they may have it figured out..i bought them gratitude journals per advice from my good friend amie alvey- thanks amie!! my girls all have "chores" they have to finish before they get a marble for the day..which include, make bed, pick up room, brush teeth, prayer, piano, read for 30 minutes and gratitude journal...then on wednesdays are our cleaning days where they will help me clean the house, and then saturdays are their laundry days where they have to do their own laundry..anyway - we'll see how it works out but im trying SO VERY hard to get us to be a normal family without stressing me out..
thanks for the prayers on behalf of jon-- he's doing much better today! i picked up the rest of his meds today so he's stocked back up again..were right in the middle of his bowel program then we'll get him up for the day to start his therapies..
