Too much going on
I realize I'm a little behind on my blogging. During the past three weeks, we've had company, been out of town, been trying to catch up on everything we didn't do while we were out of town, had more company, had four doctor visits (three for me and one for Rebecca), have spent more time than we should have to spend dealing with health insurance issues, and have generally been trying to come up for air. We're supposed to be getting together with more friends Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. We normally don't have this full of a social schedule, but the past couple of weeks have been exceptional.
I don't think Friday is going to happen. Steve normally would get the day off tomorrow, but has too much going on at work, so I will spend yet another day trying to figure out whether or not I should try to take Rebecca with me on errands (and risk ruining her sleep for the day), or postpone getting groceries. I used to go the grocery store after Rebecca went to sleep for the night, but that hour seems to be getting later and later, no matter how many naps she gets or doesn't get during the day or how long those naps are. Part of the problem is that she won't eat very much at a sitting (I think because she wants to get back to playing), so by the time she'd normally go to sleep, she hasn't eaten enough, so she can't sleep, and by the time she's finally done eating, we've missed the window of opportunity and she's wide awake again.
Meanwhile, my blood sugars have been crazy, my thyroid is still not regulated, and I'm exhausted. I broke down crying in Bible study on Tuesday because I was so frustrated, and a bunch of people offered to bring me food or babysit, but I don't think any of them realize just how far away we live and that it would take almost an hour each way to come see us, and that's not during rush hour. It's hard for me to know just how far people are willing to go, and I don't want to make them feel badly if they retract their offer because we live too far away. Anyway, I think I should just go to bed now before I get more stressed out trying to solve all my seemingly unsolvable problems. Please be praying for me!

I'm always praying for you!
Much love,
Mom :)
You don't know me, but I'm a friend of Heather's and one of her bridesmaids, and I read your blog now.
I just want to remind you that accepting help from others is a reminder (a humbling reminder) of the help you accept from our Savior. You asked him into your heart and were justified, and he remains in your heart and he continues to intercede for you.
Accepting help from others is also a gift to the one who offers. Who knows? Their spiritual gift may be service, and it may be a delight to them to sacrifice (because an hour one-way is a sacrifice) and come to you. Allow them the blessing of serving you, and let your Christian family look after you as they were designed to do.
I'll be praying for you.
