Week 2: Expect the unexpected

Week two was MUCH easier than week one - probably because I used my car twice and took advantage of some very generous friends (thanks Brandy and Lindsay!).

Here's my list for week two:

• The kids threw a tantrum when we were about to take the car instead of the bike.
  
• Corey says, "I'm so glad you know when to come in out of the rain!" Hmm, I guess I do!
  
• I'm getting better at accepting help and am even asking for it sometimes.
• After being out in the rain this week the kids are trying to convince Grandma to play in the rain - it's just a little water and we don't have to be stuck inside!
• We watched two excavators, one front-end loader and one buldozer IN ACTION!
• A woman who lives near the "deer path" mowed it and then stopped me to ask if it's wide enough for the bike trailer. We're now friends. :)
  
• I feel a stronger sense of community and a greater connection to others.
  
• I'm super-very excited about an adventure on the bus with LOTS of other people planned for next week!
  
• After traveling through the rain, traveling on a nice day seems almost easy!

A couple of not so great ones. . .

• I still feel a lot of guilt about accepting help - ugh!
• Hobie is not getting better and will likely need the car again before the month is out.

Some days are good, some days are not-so-good, but here I am at the end of two weeks thinking, "Half way all ready?"
