Random...Doctors, Weddings, and Travel Plans

Well another month has come and gone and I am left feeling dazed and confused. I have the feeling I should write something but still dazed and confused and not even sure where to start. So I will start at the beginning I guess.
Not too long after our last post I had some medical problems and was in and out of the doctors a lot ...only to not receive any answers. This leaves me feeling frustrated, hurt, and a sense of helplessness. Now that June is here we are busy, busy, and even more busy!!! The distraction has been nice to keep my mind occupied.
Eric was asked to sing at 2 weddings this month. Today was actually the first one and the other wedding will take place next weekend. I am so proud of him and the gift God has given him to use. Kimber and I love hearing him sing...sometimes we "try" to join in ...lol. More Kimber then mommy;) Today at the wedding as Eric is finishing the song Kimber lets out a big DADDY ... yeah!!! I guess she thought he was great. I am sure the older she gets the harder it will be for her to understand she has to sit while daddy sings and not cheer for him all the time ... at least out loud. We will have to work on cheering quietly inside?? if that makes any sense. :)
There are moments I truly do not know how single parents make it. For me today was the epitome of one of these moments. We had an awesome morning. I had been checking on prices of trees to plant around the edge of our driveway and yard and had my socks knocked off when I called a local nursery and asked for prices. So thankfully I have amazing parents who after telling them what I wanted to do went out and dug up about 30 of the trees I wanted off of their farm and helped me transplant them!!! Was so super excited and thankful to be able to get the trees and the project done that I wanted. We are about 3/4 of the way done and will have to wait until next year to get more starts to transplant. We are well on our way though which makes me feel wonderful. Now for the second half of the day and mommy feeling like a complete failure. Then at lunch Kimber would not eat anything. Just fussy and not happy with anything. So I laid her down for her nap and after this we got ready for a weeding and needless to say Kimber and I were only able to stay for Eric's song and then had to leave because Kimer was just not having it. We tried staying for the reception and that was a mistake on my part. Kimber ended up with diarrhea and I think may have a touch of the flu. In a moment of weakness after trying to comfort her with no success and lots of screaming and tears on her part...mommy was at her breaking point and had to have a friend get Eric from the reception. We had been out in the nursery at the church and Kimber was just screaming when I held her and cried when I put her down to play with toys. I just couldn't do anything to get her to calm down. At this point I was crying too since I didn't know what was wrong and Kimber was burning up hot, and I was not having any success with anything to comfort her we came home. Kimber still cried but I was feeling relieved to be home and in my own comfort zone of being able to sit and talk to her and not have people looking at me like what in the world is wrong with that kid! Thankfully she is sleeping for now. She didn't want any supper either but ate a few Cheerios so hopefully she will have more of an appetite tomorrow. I give single parents credit...not sure how they do it. If it had not been for Eric saying lets go home and help comfort me while feeling helpless I am not sure how I would make it some days. He is an awesome husband and daddy in so many ways. Thanks honey for all you do for both of us.
Humm...what else is new??
We are also planning a trip at the end of the month which is approaching very fast! augh where does time go? I have already started packing and realizing YIKES!!! Kimber has more stuff to take then Eric and I do. Being so little I think you feel like you pack everything except the kitchen sink. Although if it would fit there are times I would like to bring it as well...haha. We will be visiting some of Eric's family and some of mine as well in the week we are there. It will be a busy week.
Work is going well for both of us. With the economy and all the job cuts and layoffs in our area we are blessed to both be employed. I am so thankfully that I am able to work from home part of the time. In the fall my job is sending me back to school. So I will be taking two night classes about an hour from home. Not looking forward to the night driving but other then that it should be okay. My mom said she would help with Kimber until Daddy gets home to take over:).
Well I think that is all the updates we have for now...when I think of more we will post them. Sorry it has been so long ... with it being summer and I am still working full time this year through the summer it is hard to keep up. We hope this finds you all well and we hope to hear from you all soon. Love to all. Take care until next time. God Bless!
