Hearts Surrendered

This snow time was so wonderful. I feel like my deepest desires to enjoy and savor home and family were fulfilled this weekend. I love when the kids have snow days, not just because I don't have to pack a school lunch but because I know there are days will be filled with fun, playing, laughter and joy! We enjoyed movies by the fire. Matt and I cooked some meals together, at which time I added wayyyyyy too much salt. Lesson learned. Matt pulled the kids on a sled behind his truck and they loved it! I walked behind in the snow and skipped and fell flat in my face 100 times, but it was fun! I felt like I was 5 years old again. Thanking God for our safety and time together this weekend. Of course, also for my health being well enough to enjoy it all! (Had a rough post Christmas time with intense and unrelenting pain)

It wasn't the evening time that was so bad but the daytime MSLT which requires you to stay awake for nearly 2 hours between 5 scheduled 15 minute naps. That was excruciating. I sincerely hope that the results will be accurate enough in spite of me idioticly consuming green tea and unwittingly, caffeine during the test. All of this is to identify and diagnose a probable narcolepsy or similar sleeping disorder which would explain my constant daytime sleepiness from the time I can remember until today. This past year has been a blessed time for me. I feel like God gave me an entire year off of any extra responsibilities or commitments that I had been so consumed with in the last 10 years. My health had gotten so problematic that it was preventing me from fulfilling these commitments and I sweet natured way. I was getting sick...
