HaHA! 11:28! I guess the lack of stress made a big impact on my early wakes. Girl was up and preparing for leaving with a friend, and the Boy still slumbered, having felt poorly last night. I did start the day off with a hot water instead of coffee- I liked it a great deal.
I had some errands today, and while driving, I thought about the value of friendship and family. It is these people who are willing to help out when no others will. I am truly and often overwhelmed with gratitude by the friends I have in my life; it is not something I take lightly.
The Boy helped me (a
nd by “help” I mean did it) get kindling cut, then I took him over to a friend’s house. This puts me in a predicament: home alone with nothing to do.
I called my mom today. We are not big talkers, but when Ethan and I watched ‘Interstellar’, I was struck by one line in which Cooper tells Murphy “Now we’re just here to be memories for our kids.” (he was talking about what his wife said to him), and it struck me that RIGHT now, my kids are everything to me – they are the sun to my solar system, but there will come a time, and it is not far off, that they will be living their lives and I will be living mine. I thought about my mom, in Colorado, I talk to her once every month or so – and this was the women who gave birth to me. Soon, I will not see my kids as of then as I do now – I can only hope we will be in more contact than I and my mom. So I called her…I left a message thanking her and Papi (my dad) for everything they had done in my younger years because they made e who I am today. I teared up.
“Scrubs” and rain. Six days til nachos.
Picture: Ethan changed my screensaver, I see….
