oh the rain! we need it… and i so enjoy the thunder and the lightning…. the magic that is mother nature… but you, she must’ve been in a pretty foul mood this morning… either that or someone really, really ticked her off! tornadoes…. so much damage around these parts…. thankfully, i haven’t heard of injuries or death… but the destruction is all around us… we are fine… my family’s home is fine…
when planning the funeral coach & i had thought that tuesday or wednesday would be good…. brother-in-law wanted to do monday so that’s what we did… and boy, is it good we did! monday was gorgeous… not hot, not cold…the sun was shining big and bright…. had we waited it would’ve been rather turbulent to say the least…
coach & i have accomplished a great deal of the things that must be dealt with at the end of a life… one more day of things to work on and then it’s time to get on with life… coach is doing well – as well as can be expected after losing his mom. my family has been a wonderful thing for him… a pleasant distraction of sorts… we have kept him busy…we have kept his heart full of love and goodness….
the soul got some new shoes today… i’ve been riding on 3 shoes and a flip flop for a few weeks… talk about eating up some go-go juice (gasoline)! but my soul baby is so much happier today… 2 new shoes… happiness
another fun thing we got to do… something that i haven’t been able to do since i’ve moved away…. we went to the school and surprised the twins at lunch… happy meals with barbie doctors inside… little bitty tables with little bitty stools… poor coach… big man on little stools… cute!
i mentioned that we stayed in that wonderful Hampton the first few nights… well, last night was spent at Dad & Mom2′s house… what a wonderful hotel they have! chicken & dumplings for dinner…. wonderful conversation… lots o love… coach & i went to starbucks to meet kiddo after dinner… when we returned… look what we found:
the beast has rared up a few times… the stress, the exhaustion leaves me a bit wonky but i suppose that’s to be expected… i have some new things going on but i’m hoping against all hope that it’s the stress… hoping that these new things go away… i’ve been chanting “no flares, no flares”… i don’t think it’s working though….
anywho….
