IMG_4680I have discovered that I have a hard time writing when my kids are home.  When I am home by myself my brain goes crazy with worry.  When the kids are home.  They keep me so very busy.  You would think since they are nine and eleven parenting would be easier.  It wasn’t just them today.  We have been staying at my parents during Spring Break.  It is a comfort to have my mom and dad close while we are grieving Travis.  When Shan died we spent six months with my parents.  When the kids were 1 and 2 it was easier to be away.  Now we have school and have to be home.  It is difficult to be in my house right now.  I did have to go back to meet Sleep Number Bed repair man.  We have only had the bed since October.  I shouldn’t all ready have to have it fixed.  I also had to meet my father in-law to get a copy of the will.  The bright spot in my day was my girls and my niece Avery.  Avery makes me feel a lot better.  Her smile and laugh make my heart happy.  Tomorrow the girls and I are going to the Science Museum with my sister in-law Kelly and her kids.  Then we will go see some friends who have dinner for us.  I am so lucky to have a large family that loves us.  So many friends that care for us.  Maybe I won’t be too tired to write tomorrow night.  Maybe I get up early to write? I don’t think that will happen.  I like my sleep.

  1. Hang in there! Praying you’ll find the strength to keep going and keep writing. Some days you just have to take it one step at a time. Come to think of it: that’s probably the best way every day. Two steps at a time would be hard. 😉
