Unexpected

Oh my, Reader-Friends!

It’s been an intense few days! I made it to Cleveland Sunday night. Yesterday, as I was gearing up for a day of hard cleaning (actually, I was about to write a Monday post), I received an ever so pleasant email. NOT! Apparently, there was a misunderstanding between some of the university faculty and me, and I have missed out on a week of required observation at a school.

Lovely.

So, here I am, flipping out. What do I do? Call Mama, of course! And Mama has news for me too.

She had taken Daddy to the ER. Remember how I said he had infection from his surgery? Well, the surgeon actually put a hole in his colon while he was under, and that’s what has been causing the amazingly disgusting and painful issues Daddy has been experiencing. I will spare you the details.

I ugly cried at this point, needless to say.

But believe it or not, there were some positives in the truck load of stress dropped on my lap.

1. Thankfully, Mama was fed up enough with the doctors to make them take a closer look at Daddy, and now he is at the hospital where he is getting proper care. They are talking about surgery to repair the hole, but right now they are nursing him to a more stable condition.

2. Luckily, yesterday was the first day of school for Cleveland (as opposed to last week where I am from), and there is a private school that starts even later this week. The education department at my school is allowing me to jump on board with that academy. But gez, did I not come prepared! I have no big girl clothes here. I just might have to splurge on a new teaching outfit. #hatelivingintwotowns

3. At least, I got flowers out of this bad day. Jonathan brought these to me after he got off of work yesterday.

I will say one thing! I’m glad I’m back to tracking with a daily time with Jesus, because God must of knew all this was around the corner; I have read a lot of scripture lately that kept my head on straight yesterday. Has scripture saved anyone else’s sanity?

 

Well, I will be letting ya’ll know how this week of unexpected observation goes!
