Cold Eggs

It has now been 2 days in a row that I have eaten cold eggs for breakfast. Yesterday, a friend of mine was over to help me with my children, I am still in recovery but am doing better. Both of my girls were disrespectful during prayer for breakfast. So, I sent them both to the corner. My oldest went obediently but my stronger willed child did not. She had to be corrected, spanked, until she stood properly in the corner, then she would not stop whining. Again, she had to be corrected. By this time I am hurting due to my 4 wounds from surgery. But a mother must persevere in such times. I did win the battle, about 15 minutes later. Cold eggs and all. I was ready for a nap after that one.
It was a beautiful day outside. After lunch, we ventured to the park. The children played well. My oldest, Kelsie, had a little oops with the monkey bars and fell on her face. She looks like she was at war with the monkey bars and the monkey bars got the best of her. She did pount a little, but she is doing well.
Today, I had cold eggs again. Mostly my fault this time. I was so busy feeding my children. I did not get to myself till the eggs were cold. At least my children had a nice warm breakfast.
Today is my first full day with out help. Kelsie has been helping me with lifting my son. He is my youngest and still needs assistance in and out of his chair and bed. Thankfully, he has yet to climb out of his crib. It has been nice for him to still sleep in his crib.
Thus far the day has been okay. Had to do a lot of insurance calls, so they cover what they say they are going to cover for my surgery. I have to say, though. Insurance can be a very complicated thing. We have new insurance this year. They have asked for proof of previous insurance. Which I think is silly. I would believe that if you are paying for a service, you should receive that service whether you have had insurance or not. Anyways, we did have insurance before this insurance. It has been a long time waiting for our previous insurance to send what our current insurance needs. They only sent a little and not everything they needed. So, I have diligently been calling them both to make sure both ends gets done what they should be getting done.
Few. Being a responsible adult is hard work. I am just thankful I have the Lord to help me in all these things. Thank you Lord for all you do. I love you. I know you are in charge and make a way, even when there seems to be no way. In Jesus name, Amen.

You said you were going to title your next post "Cold Eggs."
I am glad Kelsie didn't get hurt very badly since it was mostly my fault (OK - forget the mostly). She did take it better than I expected. :) Yea, Kelsie!
Glad your day alone went well. Colin is quite a hefty kid to lift. I am glad you and Kelsie could help each other.
