The boy with the broken arm, no more

Today, he's whole again.  The cast is off.  He's FREE!

It's been an interesting journey, this broken arm world.  A bit inconvenient, but not unworkable.

It was originally hard for Josh to deal with having his dominant arm in a cast past his elbow.  He felt like he couldn't do anything.

But he learned.  He adapted.  But he didn't really slow down.

Day 4

Today is Day 4 of summer vacation. 

It's been a long 4 days.  The three of us being home all day with each other is proving difficult. 

I was really looking forward to having the summer with my kids.  Last summer, we had the store, and I had a plan for where the kids would be for all 10 weeks.  By the end of summer last year, with the kids being gone one at a time or at camp or somewhere else, I felt like I had missed out of a lot with them. 

I didn't want that again.  Except after Monday and Tuesday, I wanted to ship them off. 

But not really.  I want to be with Josh and Ellie, I just want a lot less controversy and more cooperation and getting along. 

I am still looking forward to having the summer with my kids.
