Waiting

Well, I haven't heard back from my fourth school yet, and I don't know what to make of that. However, since I've had some other circumstances come up lately, I'm not sure it really matters right now. My dad had surgery on Friday, and my sister was admitted to the hospital on Wednesday several states away. She is on complete bedrest until her baby is born, so I flew out of Utah on Friday to come and help for a few weeks. Aside from keeping the kids alive, I've also managed to change a few diapers, give three children baths, make chocolate chip pancakes, do laundry, feed the children, watch lots of Tom & Jerry and Scooby-Doo, and load and unload the dishwasher several times. And those are just the things I remember. :-) I am in awe of my sister's ability to run her house and balance so many things all at once. I am also incredibly grateful for cell phones with long-distance plans and for the reminder that whatever happens school-wise, my family is still more important to me than any rejection letter. My priorities haven't shifted; I've just been reminded of them. :-)
