Unscheduled Time Off.

September 4, 2015 By Lena

I’m not really good with ambiguity.

I have a strong Type-A personality and like things to follow the invisible manuscript that hovers above my head. Order is good; change is tolerated… the unknown is downright suffocating.

And this summer, I’ve been thrown for a loop.

Our family has had family illnesses and emergencies; property theft and damage, cancelled vacations, new jobs and new roles, and through it all, I’ve had the ever-challenging tasks of raising two boys, managing a household and running a business.

(I’m not complaining, I swear. Just an average day in the life of every mom, everywhere.)

Of course, *just* when I thought we were smooth sailing into September, I had some more unscheduled time off. This time, it started with a little boy’s tummy ache in the wee hours of morning… which escalated to emergency surgery in the late hours of night. Oh, my heart.
insta2I am so happy to report that Reid is healing and recuperating well after his bout of acute appendicitis. In fact, he’s doing more than well – he has refused all pain medication and we actually have to caution him not to run and jump!

Kids: Overcoming obstacles like a boss since the dawn of time.

I’ll do my best to catch up! In the meantime, wishing all my readers a healthy, happy and productive September! Make it a great one!
