Reading... Trust No One by James Rollins.
Watching... The Emoji Movie with the grands. I need a night sleeping in my own bed so they are having a sleepover here tonight. It may take a while for them to settle down, though. They got to Facetime with their mom tonight for the first time since she's been gone and they were a "little" excited.
Listening... to them rustling around on the air mattress. They are both notorious for flopping all around before they finally relax and go to sleep.
Eating... we had a pretty normal schedule this evening and I was able to make a big pot of spaghetti with meatballs and garlic bread. Enough for everyone, some leftovers, and dinner for their dad at work tonight.
Thinking... about schedules. There is so much to remember and fit into each day. I'm exhausted. It's no wonder our daughter gets overwhelmed. I don't struggle with anxiety or depression, but it's still a LOT. It's going to be relaxing when I go back to work.
Feeling... tired and sore. That's why we're sleeping here tonight.
Celebrating... each day we make it through and that the kids got to "see" their mom tonight. Also the way our son-in-law has stepped up to do a lot more than he's used to doing.
Enjoying... getting to know our son-in-law better. He's normally super shy and quiet, but we've been having some long heart-to-hearts.
Weather... temps are in the 50's, but we've had pouring rain most of the day.
Giggling...
Hi Stacy. So glad to hear that things are going well. It's so great that you are getting to know your son-in-law better and that he is "stepping up to the plate" to help his family. Many blessings, even in trials. It's always good to hear about what is going on with you and your family. See you again soon!
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear things are better. Good that you are getting to know your son in law better. I am sure is appreciates your help. Take time to get your rest too.
ReplyDeleteI love the last photo! You got that right! I'm glad things are going well with the kiddos and you, but I can imagine how difficult it is every day and night. Parenting when you are a grandparent isn't always as easy as it was when you were younger. Praying for you and your family. May God bring healing and strength to all of you.
ReplyDeleteI can so identify with "schedules" ... it's easy not to feel overwhelmed; and I've only one 84- y/o child to handle! (lol)
ReplyDeleteLove that last meme!
"easy to feel overwhelmed", I mean.
DeleteHello, my friend. What a blessing you are to your daughter, her babies, and her husband. She must have a sense of peace knowing you are there while she heals and finds help.
ReplyDeleteDitto what Billie Jo wrote. I agree with every word so no need to repeat. Bless you. Sending love and a hug!
