Steve participated in his first triathlon today and was the team's kayaker. All 3 guys did better than they expected and were very happy with their times. They were in the top 10 in the adapted division and are even talking about doing it again next year.
After the race, we went out to lunch with one of the teammates and his family which was really fun.
We came home, relaxed (it was HOT today), ate dinner then went to church.
Tonight's service was on anger and anxiety and Philipians. I just love my church and my pastor and ... everything about my church!!
We got home then I took off to do a grocery store run and am now just getting onto my computer and tried to fix my Facebook issues...and there are still the weird internet issues (is it a modem thing? a power supply thing? ugh!)...Shane has "inner core" issues (I had put 2 bouncy chairs in my bath tub - for storage - and when I saw they had been taken out, I asked him if he was going to take a bath to which he responded that his inner core needed to relax. Yeah, anyways!)...Shelby has best friend issues (elementary school friend and her had an on again/off again relationship - can't remember why - and her best friend in her first year of middle school did some behaviors we are NOT comfortable with so they aren't friends anymore which makes my heart hurt for Shelby)...I'm having mixed emotions about it being one full week of no baby in the house. Yup, more issues ;) Steve's requested a 30 day break between foster blessings and today is one full complete week with no bundle of joy to love on. I feel complete when I am loving on a baby - like that is exactly my purpose and what I was created to do. I am happy, I am content. I am in my sweet spot. But with my family dynamics (husband + daughter both have disabilities, Grandma has dementia, son has ADHD) it definitely adds a level of stress to my life when I'm taking care of a medically fragile baby plus my grandma and my family but it brings me so much joy, there's no question I'll say yes again and again and again to "the call" (will you take a baby with/who has/etc.).
Tomorrow's Shane's last football "practice" is tomorrow, then we are hanging out with the coach and his family (our best friends) then Shane has to finish up some chores at home and pack for his last camp of the summer.
