Coffee... please!

I am sitting here at my parents house trying to stay awake. My daughters have even crashed. I am writing on this blog to keep my mind awake.

Today was a really hard day. After I went home this morning I had to double back by noon to take my Dad to the doctor. So I am running on very little sleep today. The doctor said nothing we did not already know. He told my Dad to keep working and not give up. Dad has been having pain in his shoulder and back which is due to the way he carries himself after the stroke. His muscles are trying to work to help hold up the left side. He said it is hard but that is the only way he is going to get things back. Getting Dad in the truck by myself was hard. I like to never got him in the truck without lifting him which I could not do and I am feeling it tonight. After dropping him off I got back home by almost 4 and then it was getting Kens lunch fixed, Kendra to art class by 5:00. Then I was off to pick up more safety equipment for Dad's bathroom... Pick up Kendra at Art class by 8 and then off with the girls to Mom and Dads to pull my shift with my parents so my brother can get some sleep. On the way here I realized I have to get up early tomorrow because Kari has an follow up visit with the orthodontist. God give me strength for the rest of tonight and then for what comes tomorrow. I know he will!
