What a week...

This week I have been a single mom while Casey is in New York for business. Why is it that when the hubby is out of town things happen? Am I the only one this happens too? I swear this is what happens over here. Calgon take me away.......
The past 2 nights I have been up with Luke. He has a pretty bad bronchitis crud going on right now and breathing treatments are not helping much. After two nights of awful up all night coughing we went to the doctor to change up his medicine. Things went down hill from there. My sweet guy got so sick from the new medicine and has been throwing it up this evening. Bless his heart....I am sure he will be better once it is out of his system. It has been such a challenge to keep the other 2 L's away from him so they won't get sick. Especially Landry Love! Oh, that would not be good.
But, I must say that even though I feel like this week has been tough without Daddy.... God has really watched over me. Let me explain, something bad could have happened the other day. Something really bad that would have crushed the 3L's. As some of you know we have this new pool in the backyard. Casey and I always make sure the 3L's are never out there without us. Lauren was at school, Landry at Ms. Heathers, and Luke was on the couch doing a breathing treatment. I decided I would clean our bathroom since it looked like a tornado hit it. I heard some thud noises but thought it was Luke in the living room. Something inside me (when I say something I mean God) told me to look outside our bedroom window. There she was.....our English Bulldog Lucy in the pool about to drown. It was awful. I saw her head above the water and then it was gone. I ran out to the pool and got her out. She was lifeless at first and then started to throw up. She is ok but is shook me to the core to see this. I am so THANKFUL that the Lord caught my attention in time. So even though I feel like this has been a long, rough week without daddy...I am reminded once again God is watching over my family. Whew! Praise God.
This is Lucy Girl (picture taken Nov. 08) with a pot on her head. She isn't the smartest dog out there but we love that speckled dog!

And yes, since this happened the girls are in time out (aka their dog pen). Probably forever!

We live within the shadow of the Almighty, sheltered by the God who is above all Gods~Psalms 91:1

Happy Friday Everyone.

We miss you daddy! Can't wait to see you soon.

Wow, that would have shaken me up too. I know how you feel about things happening when the hubby is away. Its a test I think, and sometimes, I must admit I fail miserably at it! Hope Luke starts feeling better.

Have a good weekend, incident free of course!

Oh Robin, I am so sorry you had such a bad week. Aren't you so thankful that our husbands don't travel all the time! I couldn't handle that. I am so grateful that you were able to find your dog in time. The Lord is Amazing! I hope Luke is better today. This week will be better:)
