Today wasn’t a typical Monday…well, at least not “typical” for me.  For some reason, I awoke before the sun…and just stayed up.  By seven, I had done a couple of loads of laundry, taken a bath (because I was freezing in these frigid “below 70″ temps.! ), and gotten the boys up and ready for school - just normal stuff…just not so normal for me on a Monday morning.

Then, we went with my sister and her boys (Ronin and Kael - mentioned in former post) to Epcot.

We had a good time, although everything is harder for my sister, than for most, since Kael can’t get over-heated or it could cause a seizure.  At one point, she showed me what I would need to do if he were to have a seizure - I really wanted to know…needed to feel a little more knowledgeable after yesterday.  It was sobering, and I tried not to let my emotions take over - but, most of all, it felt good to know…it’s better than feeling so helpless.

When you have a child with such a serious condition, it definitely makes you more mindful of appreciating the little things in life…the good days.  But, it’s also so extremely draining….so please continue to keep them in your prayers.

Then, Ronin came back home with us to play with his cousins…

….and now we’re ordering pizza and just letting them play.

So, it was a good day - I am beginning to feel my “early morning” - I guess because it’s Monday…I mean, I get up that early every Sunday…but somehow that’s different…

And another thing about all this adrenaline that I’ve been feeling since yesterday afternoon:

I NOW HAVE TO FOLD AND PUT AWAY THE 62 LOADS OF LAUNDRY I’VE WASHED IN THE LAST 24 HOURS!!!

Oh well….

…Monday, Monday!

(If you need me, I’ll be up to my eyeballs in laundry!)

Peace.
