Good Morning!!!!
Well, I'm here. It's been a pretty good week. The kids have been great, and we've been doing more - getting out, etc. But, it is tiring. It's nice to just stay in and relax today. I'll be seeing my sister later on, so that will be great too.
It's been an up and down week. GREAT week for family time, friend time, seeing movies and my girlfriends - but hard too. A friend of a friend lost her baby (he was 3 months old and named Berkley) to SIDS this week, and with little Gift in the house, I've been touched by this news - such a raw loss and emotion. I didn't know them well, but as a mom - it affects you. My mom has surgery next week, so we've been trying to do things with them, or let the kids sleep over, before they are out of commission. Thanks for any thoughts and prayers for Berkley's family, and for my mom's knee replacement surgery next week. THANKS!!! Oh - I was sidelined with some major tooth pain (or gum pain). I made it to the Dentist, but it is too soon to see what is causing it. It kept me sidelined some, and I have a massive headache today and we're staying in aside from seeing my sister. ARGH - how did people of the old days cope and deal with teeth issues pre-dentistry? I applaud them. Heroes!
So...what did get done this week?
1. I got out with the kids. Some alone (yippee!!) and some with my niece helping. We did an indoor play gym one of the days which was a real treat for my girls. I was tired, but the effort paid off in happy girls and good family time and memories (since this summer, my girls see me dosing off so much - fun memories LOL).
2. The house is straight. Not deep cleaned, but straight. It'll do as we head into a fun weekend of family, company, and celebrations for the 4th. Friends who love you don't care how your house looks!!
3. I remembered today was Thurs and called just in time to sign up Lovely for another library program in a few weeks. I almost forgot, and things can fill up fast. It should be great - it is about hands on science! I'm trying to get in gear for homeschooling.
How is your week?

Love your Thankful list.....Great idea! I'm gonna have to think of my own!
ReplyDeleteStraight is good!
ReplyDeleteI also have seen 2 friends recently lose their babies, not to SIDS but terrible tragedies all the same. The strength and courage of these women are inspiring and remind me to treasure every moment with my children.
I'm glad to see you got Lovely in the program, that is so tough with a little one to remember those things. Still sending lots of prayers for Berkley and family.
ReplyDeleteWow! What a week. Lots of ups and downs for you. SIDS is so horrific. My prayers will be with Berkley's Mamma and Daddt as they grieve this prescious little one.
ReplyDeleteGreat job on having the house straight. That's half the battle my friend. Truly.
Enjoy the hands on Science program at the library. It is so much fun to watch the little ones learn and explore the world around them.
Happy Summer!
You are doing such a good job. I love that we were able to get out to the movies as well!
