Old "Hob"

Yes, I've acquired that nickname. It's short for "hobble," which is what I'm doing a lot lately. I joke that God just wanted me to slow down a little bit. I actually woke up around 1:50 this morning with a horrible itch on the back of my leg; just below the top of the cast. I jumped quickly out of bed (mind you I woke from a deep sleep) only to jump right on my right foot. Naturally, I collapsed to the floor in agony. Kate sat straight up in bed, turned on the light, and panicked. "Are you ok? Are you ok? Are you ok?" I couldn't answer her. I was in too much pain at the time. Suffice it to say, I didn't have a good night. However, the sun still rose this morning, and the Earth's still spinning. I'll be all right, as long as I chain myself to the bed next time.

Ann, my cast is actually blue, and yes, the Cubs are breaking my heart.

Ouch! My 3rd grader broke his thumb last week, and where the break happened, they said it is better to splint than to cast. Problem is, he can slide the splint off, and there is so little protection (try to keep an almost nine-year old in a relatively inactive state: ugh!). But those young bones knit together a lot easier than our older ones, so unless he reinjures he should be without a splint in 3 weeks.

So what is God showing you with your newly slowed-down pace?

As for the Cubs, I just can't figure it out. I know I haven't prayed for patience lately! :)

Have a nice weekend.
