Today was my first official day at home from work in preparation for the kidney transplant. I am going to chronicle the time up until the transplant in the daytime and continue our story of Gods journey for us in the evening. I want to try to convey the activities and emotions of our family as we prepare. I am in what I like to call the “nesting phase” I’m trying to get the house in order before being gone for three weeks. I tend to jump from project to project and today has been no different. I tried to finish painting the entryway, but I ran out of paint. I then went on to cleaning out the closet in our bathroom, but quit honestly I hate doing that. I am a keeper of treasures, so I have a hard time getting rid of things. The idea of being away from home for three weeks for a momma is a little overwhelming. I don’t enjoy being away from my girls that long not to mention this is Annas senior year and I didn’t want anything interrupting her life. That is one of my fears is that she and Chloe will be affected by my illness in a negative way. I have for years kept things about my illness from them, but now they are smart enough to know what is going on. As mothers we try to protect our babies from anything that may cause them to be insecure, so this is where I have to depend completely on God. I guess I need to get back to all these stupid closets so I can feel like I got something accomplished today.
