all things must end, while others begin again

Well we finally had the last PT appointment today, thank goodness that's over. I really didn't like her, neither did B and I guess that 's who's opinion really matters most, right? She is not at all a dog person and actually mentioned getting rid of the dogs while he recovers,

as you can imagine the answer was a resounding...

NO WAY IN HELL.

After this surgery he will be receiving outpatient therapy at our gym, yeah that means I get to go back to training for my road races I have coming up. Ah, no I have not been running in a long while so I feel as though I'm starting over at square one.

I guess I will go back to my old way of thinking,

"One foot in front of the other and I will soon be finished,

just one more mile please just one more mile, I can do this."

I can't tell you how many times I said that to myself as I ran all the road races last year, it got me moving when I really wanted to quit, but I couldn't quit, I hadn't crossed the finish line yet, and if I don't cross the finish line, than I don't get my pretty hardware,

you know the finisher's medal.

B is starting to get a little depressed as tomorrow approaches because he knows what Friday holds for him, PAIN! PAIN! and more PAIN! He can't wait for the surgery to finally be over, soon baby soon, I promise. I think I'm going to take tonight off, as I need to get him ready and washed with special surgical soap and be at radiation by 6am, and I don't get off work till 6am so things could get dicey. Yeah, I think I am going to take a sick day. I need a break, time to relax and regroup before my marathon work week next week while he is in the hospital.

I'm exhausted and I can't seem to catch up on any sleep.

However I will remain sleep deprived to get to Super Wal-mart today, I can't wait. I map quested it out and I'm officially 6.25 miles away (7 min),

all highway which makes it a really quick trip.

I told B he could have anything he wanted tonight for dinner as he will not eat again for 48 hours, so he gets to have his choice tonight. I really hope I agree with it, hee hee.

I'm thinking Outback Steakhouse. They have the best burgers, and I love a good burger,

and no, not all burgers are created equal.

On a different note, I spoke with our adoption lady today and informed her that,

now that the second surgery is here we can plan on ahead with the adoption.

We are so excited about being able to finally move ahead with things. We started this process over a year ago and it feels never ending. We are hoping to adopt 2 brothers named

Alex (8 yrs old) and Christopher ( 10 yrs old).

We are scheduled to begin our MAPP training classes in August.

(Massachusetts Assisted Parenting Program)

We will meet once aweek for 10 weeks, learning how to parent a child or in our case

children in the DSS system. We are aware that we are going to face challenges,

but don't all parents face a challenge or two when raising children?
