Date Night

Where does the time go? I finally get caught up and then I am behind again. My parents and sis watched the kids Friday night so Rob and I could get a much needed date night in, but before I chat about the great time we had I want to give Ry credit where credit is due.

Rylee had an EEG last Wednesday. Her teacher noticed some staring spells in class which could be seaizures or could just be her daydreaming. It has been awhile since we have done an EEG to check for seizure activity so the Nuerologist ordered one. I can not believe how different it is taking Ry now from a couple years ago. We didn't have to sedate her, she followed direction and it was a breeze. I am so used to battling with the kids for any test easy or not. It really gave me hope for my kids future and dealing with the TS. It also helped that the technician that did the test knew me from Luke. She did a couple of Luke's video EEGs when we were in the hospital at 8 and 10 months. It was fun to show her pictures of Luke and show how much he has grown. We will get the results nect week at her Nuerology appointment.

Now onto my weekend, Life has been stressful with the kids and Rob's lay off so we really needed a break. My parents took the kids overnight so that Rob and I could escape for a short time. We headed up to Lake Arrowhead, where we used to go a lot when we were dating. It has been a few years and I couldn't believe how different it was. The lake was still beyond beautiful and there is a peace looking at the water, but many of the stores are gone from the village. We had so much fun just watching the water and enjoying God's creation. Mostly, it was just nice being together.

Of course, my mommy guilt is always there and I missed the kids like crazy. I have such a hard time letting go and not being in control of the kids (as if I am ever in control). I am such a worry wart and even spent most of the night listening to Rob sleep peacefully while I laid awake wondering if the kids were sleeping as peaceful. It is funny, my parents took the kids so that we could get a good night sleep, and it backfired on me :-). Even now I should be sleeping, but am up on the computer with a thousand and one things running through my head.

Mostly the night gave Rob a break from the stress he has been under and it was nice to see him relax. What would we do without family? Have I said lately how grateful I am for my life? :-)
