Quiet thoughtfulness


There's so much going on this week it is hard to fathom. I am enjoying some quiet time while Cliff took the kids to see his sister, Tammy, in from Seattle who is staying at their mom's house. Soon he'll bring the boys back and he'll get ready to go to the family viewing of his dad who passed away on Sunday. I will take the boys later to visit with friends and family at the evening viewing. My nerves are really on edge. I won't go into details. But I'm sure I'll survive. My body is giving me fits today. Yesterday I felt a lot better than today. We went to the zoo and it was a nice time even though we just went to the indoor area. We took the little boy I watch in the afternoons. He was out of school early yesterday.

Tomorrow is my birthday and then Holden's 5th birthday is on Saturday. I am hoping we get to do something fun this weekend. We'll see. For now I am trying to keep my mind still and overcome my physical irritations. It's going to be a busy few days.

Part of my irritation is that my pants no longer fit me and I need to go shopping for some maternity clothes. There just never seems to be a good time for shopping with two little boys though. But I am going to have to do it soon despite the cold weather and how much is going on around here.

Care to all and thanks for all the kinds words lately. It means a lot. The photo is of me a few weeks ago. It's how I look most days when at home.

I'll drag out my box of maternity clothes. Maybe something in there will be helpful. Mama clothes shopping with little ones sucks.

Happy Birthday Heather -- as happy as it can be with an expanding wasteband, extended family visiting in town, surging hormones and the exhaustion you must be experiencing caring for three little ones! (((Heather)))
