Thank God it's Sunday! After the week we had I am relieved to have the opportunity to start a new week.
Friday was a long and stressful day in court dealing with a hearing for a restraining order that we filed. We have been dealing with a stalker for the past several months and we are finally now able to move on. We had our day in court and emerged victorious. We are now the proud owners of a restraining order again a woman who was making our lives a living nightmare. So hopefully we won't have to change any more phone numbers or email addresses.
After getting home from the court house we noticed that Holly's ear looked swollen. Like significantly swollen compared to the other ear. Yeah- a trip to the vet to find out she has a hematoma that requires surgery. Her ear flap has a air pocket that is full of blood and it needs to be repaired first thing Monday morning. My poor baby....
Curious how stressful it is sitting in a court room 3 feet from your stalker and waiting hours for your case to be heard? We were so wiped we were in bed and sound asleep by 9pm.
Saturday was a day for running errands and catching up on our chores. With our week day schedules so busy Saturday is errand day for the Reynolds' Family. With the Dad in class from 8 am until 1 pm- family errand day is really the Mom's errand day.
Today was a very peaceful day for us. We drove to Palm Springs so the Dad could attend a therapy session. Since the temps are still in the 100's we enjoyed a nice dip in the pool to cool off. The Boy finished his book report while the Dad took an on line test for one of his classes and I made granola bars.
Reading over this I can see the peaks and valleys that our family has. Days of drama followed by days of simple, peacefulness. Thinking I much prefer the boring yet simple and peaceful days more.
The Dad's 15 minutes of fame continues tomorrow. He has a 6 am phone interview with NPR to discuss depression issues. The interview is a result of a magazine article in which the Dad was on of the men that discussed their depression and therapy. The magazine's marketing department has been discussing a possible tv interview with CBS on the article as well. Who knows what will happen with that, but I do know that the Dad will be up and on the phone at 6 am tomorrow. I should probably be a good wife and wake up that early too.
