I can't feel my left toe, the one by the pinky

It has been a long week around here. I started work and we had big plans to get Josie going on her new schedule. Didn't work out the way we had planned. Jeff's grandpa died the night before I started. It has been tough on him, but he is doing well. Josie stayed with grandma and grandpa, I went to bed at two am! Went to work, I am going to LOVE it! I am so excited about this blessing in the form of a job. Later that day I came home to Jeff and Josie and our air conditioning was broken! The windows are painted shut and it is unbearable. So we go to the pool to get away from everything and figure out where to sleep. Some amazing friends let us stay the night and even have a crib for Josie. WoW it was awesome. The next day I take Josie to the babysitter. Poor girl has been in a different bed each night for three days. She is tired and mad at me ;) But God had given me a wonderful place to take her where she has friends and a babysitter to hug and LOVE her. Then after a full day I pick her up and head back up to Newton to help Jeff's family get ready for the funeral. Again Josie is tired and mad at me. I knew she just wanted to go home. We come home at 11pm to a cold house, Thank you God! This morning I head to work in my funeral clothes, heels and all. Again I have a mad 17 month old who just wants mama! (But she had fun with the babysitter today, got to try out bowling) I sit though meetings, then go to the funeral. The funeral is great, goes really well, family is very happy! I go back to work in my heels to meet ALL of kids (7th graders) and their wonderful ;) PARENTS. It goes really well, they are all so friendly and eager to meet me. I am excited to get going with the school year. Then I head out to the football field for the picnic, still in my heels. Eat and talk to a few people. at 7pm I head home. I take off my shoes and my feet ache like crazy and I cannot feel my toe! It was quite a week, long rough but I am so very blessed in so many ways, so many things have gone right that I cannot say it was bad!

But I am more excited to get Josie on some kind of normal sch. than I am for Christmas presents!
