Props

I was thinking that I really need to give props to some people that have helped me out post surgery already! First and foremost.....my awesome mom. She came and stayed with me the first whole week. She was even the one that went and stayed in the hospital with me so Jason could continue to work. I don't know what it is about having my mom take care of me....but everything just feels like its going to be fine. I can't even say enough amazying things about my mom. She cooks, she cleans, she takes care of the kids, she cleaned out my flower beds and garden, she did laundry, she mended some torn blankets, she walked with me....and last but not least....she just comforted me in a way that no one else could have. She does all these things and never makes you feel bad about doing them. She would just say "I'm just so happy to help". I know it was a sacrafice for her to come here and stay all week away from her house (and have to sleep on a lowsy bed) but I can't say enough how much I needed and appreciated it. Thanks mom!

Secondly, my friends! I have had several friends and family members come out to visit or bring things over. How nice and thoughtful! I have Tiffany that spent Sunday out here....watching Lifetime movies (wow I can't believe I have went my whole life without Lifetime.....ha, ha)....I just love her company of course...and as always lots of laughs all day long. My sister Janet took last Friday off and came out for the whole day....brought movies and books. Also love her just being around. We could sit and do absolutly nothing and I think have a great time just because we are hanging together. And of course Ted, Tami, Carson and Mitch came on Friday as well. I know they both have busy schedules and it was so nice to have time to come out. They not only brought the Gopher, but Tami also brought several meals that we could freeze and eat later. Can't say enough about how thoughtful I thought that was. Lani, Craig and little Payton came out on Monday for dinner and hanging out. I always love Payton to come visit for sure. It love having a little girl around. Lani has come out during the days even before my surgery just to hang out and and keep me company. That is so fun to have someone else that doens't work come out for the day. Lani is also helping watch Logan this week....so thanks a million. I also had my good friend Nalani come out last night with her little boy Cash. Cash....oh I could keep him. But Nalani brought yummy soup, bread and cookies out for dinner for us, and of course we could have talked all night long just catching up and gossiping. I just love her!

Last...I can't forget Jason! He has been a huge help. He is now taking care of the kids and working. Last night he took the boys up hunting behind our house. It is the Muzzleloader right now and they went out looking for deer. The boys love spending as much time as they can with their dad. He does a great job of taking care of me and them!

I don't think I have even covered everyone. I have so many great friends that are so nice and thoughtful.....nice phone calls, or even sending flowers....thanks so much everyone! I really do appreciate everything. The thing I have realized....its hard asking for help. With the situation I am in, I have to ask for help...and its humbling for sure. I also know that I need to do better about helping others. This is a good reminder to me of that!
