One More Month.
That's how long the surgeon says it is going to be before I can lift my children with my arms extended out (you know, like from a crib, or any other "usual way" of picking up kids?). One month. This is a VERY GOOD thing to have happen in the summer, if it had to happen. I have contracted with Patrick to be my helper all day every day for $150. It's a lot of money, but it's a MONTH of work; vacuuming, lifting children, laundry etc. Basically he'll be doing about 3/4 of my manual labour. I am very blessed to have him at home. I have been praying that he will get to see mountains by the end of high school, too. I mentioned this to him and it seems like it is a dream he has just thought too much to be really real. That makes me so sad. I told him to start praying and see what God does.

Look Out, Dad!!
My father is the purple dot above the blue weather station. He's juuust outside Milton's evacuation zone. Well! My brother and I jus...
I think paying Patrick is a fantastic idea! He will learn lots from the experience of being your no #1 helper and being paid for it. I too am not allowed to do any lifting... but luckily my hubby is still home and I don't have a baby to pick up either, thank goodness! Brylee and Griffin are able to do most things for themselves too.. and even help me a bit too.
ReplyDeleteGod bless him, I'll pray for him too!
ReplyDeleteI think if a child does that much extra work it is really nice to able to compensate them in some way. Is he talking like a huge mountain because are the Ozarks that far from you? They are very pretty.
ReplyDeleteHow far would the smokies be?
