It Has Sucked

Last week was ROUGH.

Burke's big brother, Justin, passed away on Tuesday.

Our basement flooded.

There was flooding, a fire, then mysterious fire alarms going off all on the same day at work.

We had two more dogs brought to our house that were Justin's.

We now have five dogs at our house.

It's a lot.

A LOT.

Cooper had his JV game on Thursday.

He played great.

After the game, he was looking for me which is weird.

After JV games, they go right to the locker room so the FROSH team can get going.

So I went down and he told me that he thought he was injured.

This is not normal for Cooper.

He hides injuries so he doesn't miss game time.

He told me he thought it was his shoulder or neck.

WHAT?!?!

He said he'd be fine to go to team dinner and then he'd let me know.

I left to go to Ryker's scrimmage.

When we all got home, he was in tears.

So, Burke and I took him to the ER for x-rays.

EVERYone was at the ER that night.

Sternoclavical separation and sprain.

Cool.

In a sling.

Cool.

(NOT COOL)

Could be two weeks... could be eight weeks.

He has an appointment with the orthopedist on Thursday.

Ryker played on Saturday and WON!

Go Titans!

Per usual, I ran around like a crazy person.

Being team mom is a lot.

But it doesn't suck.

Our kitchen pipe broke on Friday.

Just add that to the list.

Braxton came to fix it.

While he was fixing it, one of the new dogs escaped our backyard.

So after Braxton fixed the pipe, he built a gate.

That's right... built a gate.

Burke was at work.

I was running Ryker around.

Porter was helping clear out Justin's house.

SO BLESSED.

While building that, he found the reason for Kaydon's room flooding.

Broken sprinkler line.

Fixed that, too.

God wink!

In the midst of all of it, Rian sent me these sunset pictures.

I took a deep breath and told myself I could do this!

And we just keep going!
