Crazy Day

I feel like I am drained emotionally today. It was one of those days where you get hit with one thing after another. No time to recoup in between before you get hit again. After so many I went into emotional reacting mode. Not thinking but reacting to my circumstances. That is what is draining not only on you physically but emotionally too.

Today was the day my brother went up to the hospital to see my Dad in therapy and what he needs to do when he goes home. (I go Tuesday) We had planned to go together but with them going to send my Mom home we had to split it up.

I awoke to messages on my phone from my Dad, brother and the hospital. My phone was on but I slept right through hearing it beep. I was either that tired or God knew I would not be able to cope with only two hours sleep so he allowed me to sleep right through it. I like the latter...

Apparently they also needed the hoses for my Moms ventilator. If this had been told in the first place I would have brought them yesterday with the vent or my brother would have brought them this morning when he came to the hospital. They were wanting to release my Mom today. (not like they told us before that she would need to be on her vent there for two days before they sent her home) I do not have a very good opinion of most of the hospital staff and think they went to medical school and earned a cracker jack box degree. I know... complaining... got to quit it doesn't help! And the Lord does not want us to be complainers.

Anyway they had the attitude like I am suppose to drop everything and be at their beck in call. Just got tired of it! Then the person who was suppose to pick my brother up didn't so he walked home from 61st and Yale to 21st Apache by the airport. All this time I am trying to find him because he needed to be home before they could bring Mom home by ambulance.

By the time they got Mom home they just dropped her in the room and no kind of hook up or anything. (usually home health has a nurse there etc...)

Let see... then our water was shut down in our house because our reverse osmosis quit working so it was taking Ken to Lowes, then getting groceries, taking the girls to movie night, going to see Dad at the hospital, then finishing groceries, then picking the girls up at movie night and coming home to unload and put groceries away. My day was spent since the time I got up by running everywhere. My lunch and dinner consisted of a sandwich on the run. That made me cranky and less tolerant of all that was going on so I felt like I was loosing it. Sorry Lord my human side won today and feels like my spirit took a beating. Sorry Lord forgive me for allowing the devil to push me around. I forgot to use our weapons of spiritual warfare. Tomorrow is yet another day and I will do better when I remember to leave it all in your hands.

Positive thing for today is my Mom is home.
