Both wearing ourselves out

 Levi had a good day today.  We started at swimming practice.  He is doing better with swimming but there are still times when he drives me nuts.  When he gets tired, or stressed, or unhappy, he just gives up.  I don't know how to get him to just keep going.  It is not a thing that I ever really did.  Certainly not when I was old enough to remember.  I was happy as the underdog and made getting up after being knocked down an art form.  I don't know how to teach him though!
 We went to a friends house, mostly to decide if we were going skating but there was too much inertia and we all just stayed and drank coffee while the kids swam in the pool and generally ran around.  It is great to watch them.  The kids had a wooden pallet that they were cutting up with a saw and hammering nails into.  They loved it and it is so good for them!

I then spent the rest of the afternoon cutting weeds with a Whipper Snipper.  I love to use the Weed Whacker when I am kind of cranky, esp if I am cranky at God.  At the moment I am really mad at God. 

I am mad because of DMD
I am mad because of Neuroblastoma
I am mad because of SMA
I am mad because of Pulmonary Haemosiderosis
I am mad because of all those kids missing from families because of a random disease that no one deserves.

I'll never understand the necessity for sacrifice, God's hands are bloody with them.  How does having a 5 year old die of brain cancer help anything?
