Better
Headache finally left about 4 this afternoon. Saw the chiropractor at 5:30, and I was awfully stiff. Got muscle stim and adjustment. Had a relaxed evening with mom and dad and the boys … we had supper and homemade ice cream, cleaned up, sat and talked a bit … nice and quiet. Thank goodness, tomorrow […]
Coming Down …
Well, today proved that I was under serious stress while the kids were gone. I had a doozy of a migraine that started Monday and is still there. It was horrible this morning, but it’s faded a bit now. I went to bed early last night — fifteen minutes after I tucked in the kids. […]
They’re Home!
My babies are home, and all is right with the world. They had a good time, though they had a few contretemps along the way. The youngest fell at a waterpark they visited and cut his chin open. They left their dog-tags in Idaho after visiting some people their dad knows there. They played some […]
Quiet Days, Quiet Nights
I’m getting a good bit done here in the house, but I’m not as far along as I’d like to be. The kids will be back in only four days. And I have a boatload of things I still need and want to do. I’m taking Friday off work, but I will only be home […]
Providence!
I love it when God works things out like this. My air conditioner isn’t working, and it’s hot as blue blazes in my house. So I decided, with the temperatures in the 90s and not slated to drop anytime soon, to call in the a/c repairman. I want it fixed before the kids get back. […]
Talking With Youngsters
It’s been rather a disappointment, really. The psychologist insisted that I be allowed to talk with the children every night at a given time, if we were to allow X to take the kids on this trip. And he has cooperated. But last night, the kids were constantly being distracted by their uncles and cousins […]
What Can I Say?
The house is too quiet … well, it would be too quiet if it were not for the giant high velocity fans scattered throughout the house. Try getting a HVAC serviceman to come out on Memorial Day weekend. Hah! I know one company I won’t be using though. I called them on Saturday morning and […]
Well, They’re Off
Took them to the airport at lunchtime. Bawled my head off for half an hour after they walked off into the terminal with their dad. Funny stories … Got them out of the car and got their luggage out. Helped the oldest on with his backpack and turned around to hand him his pull-case. When […]
Almost There
The kids leave tonight to spend the night with their dad before heading off tomorrow afternoon for their ten-day Washington visit. You would have thought that he could have let them spend this last night with me (especially since I am taking time out of my Memorial Day weekend to take them to the airport), […]
Packing
Well, I’ve finally gotten pretty much everything the kids need all in one place. Now it’s a matter of cramming it into their suitcases, and then they are ready to leave on Saturday for their grand adventure. I still have mixed feelings about this, but I am working very hard at being positive, upbeat, and […]
