Found a new blog of an old acquaintance today and enjoyed catching up. I find myself reading things like that and almost feel that I should warn them first. Do you mind if I look back at what you did on the 5th of March? I don’t mean to pry, but I am somehow curious and can’t stop myself from ingesting other peoples private lives just a bit. What is that?
Kris has me working today and though I enjoy the work I was reminded again that my role is mainly to be the mom. The boys are good and even understanding to a point, but they have a hard time not hovering all around me while I’m seated at the computer. I must brag on them a little here, as my previous sentence came out sounding all whiny. At about 8:30 it struck me that both of my boys had voluntarily moved their little hind ends up stairs and were both playing quietly. No whining, no fussing, no crying of any kind. There was an occasional coo from Ivan and a brief response from Owen, but the harmony in their silence was unmistakably a gift from God. Upon the realization of their peaceful state, I quickly took inventory of what most needed to be done without their help and settled on a quiet time. To my left was my comfy chair, basket of goodies ready at it’s side. One notebook, one pen, one Bible, one God and 30 minutes of solitude with which to make a better woman of myself. Ah…I’m pleased to say their peaceful play lasted the entire time. The quiet endured until I came back to the computer to work a bit. Ivan came down first, contraband (toys) in hand, and Owen followed informing me all the while that Ivan was bringing toys downstairs. Of course the fact that he was wearing nothing but Lightning McQueen underwear didn’t seem to be an issue in his mind, Ivan’s sins were much more important. When I asked him about finishing the dressing process, he said he was just too warm.
Woefully, I have a headache that fades now and then, but seems to linger despite my best efforts to quell the pain. Okay…maybe I haven’t employed my best efforts…that would include a nap. Maybe…just maybe, I should…
You are always welcome to know what I did on the 5th of March!
I guess I won’t wait around until I’m suddenly clever and interesting – here’s your comment 🙂
Hey there. I thought I’d stop by and say hi! I’m so sorry that I’ve been out of touch lately. John hasn’t been home in a while. First he was gone for a month and now he’s gone for two weeks, we went to Florida as well, and various other things. How are you doing? I have been trying to read as often as I can. I’ve got all of your pages in my site feed reading thing, so it lets me know whenever you write something.
I hope you are feeling well and taking it easy. Let me know if you need anything. I think we should also get together sometime soon. I miss everyone and I hate being out of touch. (Seriously, we must do something to rectify this. Why is life so busy sometimes?)
Love you! Miss you all
Love,
Michelle
