Trying to go with the flow

[Whit32542]

This seems to be the month of stress for me. We have so much going on and i try to keep myself calm, but sometimes it isn't that easy.

Lately Lexi and Molly have been testing me. Both try to get away with things that they know better about, but they still try. Lexi simply melts at any form of discipline, and Molly is strong willed so she screams and hits. It is very frustrating, but i simply try to be consistent.

Lexi starts Pre-K on the 18th. I am excited for her since she is so social and will love it. But I am very sad too because I am losing my buddy. I am also fearful because I have noticed when she is around other children she gets bullied. She is such a mild mannered little girl. I hate to see her feelings get hurt. I have tried to tell her to stand up against others pushing her around but she is just so quiet.

On top of that, I am trying to go back to school myself. I am registered and have my classes, but the scholarship I am going for might take a while for the head lady to get back with me. If I don't get the scholarship by the 21st, I have to drop my classes. I truley hope not to come to that. I really want to go back to school for accounting.

On top of that, my husband has been found to match a little girl who needs bone marrow. She is  years old and has Fanconi Anemia. We go to D.C. next week for my husband to have the surgery to donate it. I am SO proud of him. I think it is a wonderful thing he is doing. We will be gone 4 days, and the girls will be staying here with our neighbors. I am so stressed about leaving them. I am looking forward to a break in a way, but then just being without them makes me sad. I really hope I can take care of Kris after the surgery. They have assured that he will simply be sore but wow, it is going to hurt. They will give him a general anesthesia at least. Please be praying for the little girl. Even with this, it is not a guaranteed solution.

 

Please be praying for us and this family.
