UPDATE ON EVERYTHING HERE

WELL I AM GETTING THERE! I HAVE LOTS OF LOVE AND SUPPORT AND THAT HELPS TOO! I REST IN THE AFTERNOON WHEN THE KIDS GO DOWN AND READ AND WHEN COLIN COMES HOME IN THE LATE AFTERNOON I LET HIM TAKE LEAD, BUT STILL GET YELLED AT BECAUSE I DON'T SIT AND TRY TOI DO TOO MUCH! CAN'T KEEP ME DOWN! ;) ANYWAY LIZ CAME OVER MONDAY WITH A BEEF STEW AND A PLATE OF BROWNIES FOR ME! SHE BROUGHT ME SOME SCRAPPING PAPER TOO! SHE'S SUCH A LOVE! THANKS SO MUCH FOR SURPRISING ME! GLAD I GOT TO SEE YOU BEFORE YOU WENT TO BECKY'S! MONDAY NIGHT SHELLY CAME OVER WITH THE KIDS AND THEY GOT TO SEE LOLA, THEY WILL HAVE TO COME BACK AND PLAY WITH HER AGAIN! SHELLY IS SUCH A STRONG WOMAN! SHE REALLY WENT OUT OF HER WAY TO HELP US OUT, AND THE MEAL, OF COURSE WAS AWESOME! CHICKEN, SWEET POTATOES AND A CRANBERRY AND WALNUT SALAD. YESTERDAY MY SISTER CAME OVER IN THE LATE AFTERNOON AND BROUGHT ME A MEATLOAF AND A PASTA SIDEDISH AND SOME PEAS. WE HAD IT TONIGHT, YUM! BETWEEN ALL THE MEALS WE'VE BEEN EATIN GOOD! I AM HAPPY TO HAVE A STOCK IN THE FREEZER TOO TO CUT DOWN ON FOOD SHOPPING AND SAVE THAT MONEY FOR OTHER THINGS. TODAY WE BROWSED AROUND JOANN'S AND MY MOM SPOILED ME OF COURSE! SHE ALWAYS WANTS TO GO ABOVE AND BEYOND ABOVE AND BEYOND! WE TOOK MIA TO THE DOCTOR FOR HER COUGH SEEMS TO BE PERSISTANT AND SHE SAID HER EAR WAS BOTHERING HER. SHE'S ON MEDS FOR HER COUGH AND EAR INFECTION. I AM GLAD FOR ALL THIS DOWN TIME AND EXTRA SNUGGLE TIME TO ALL REST TOGETHER. COLIN IS GOING IN EARLIER AND GETTING OUT EARLIER THIS WEEK. IT'S NICE TO HAVE HIM AROUND DESPITE HIM MISSING OUT ON THE MONEY SIDEWORK CAN BRING IN, I'M GRATEFUL HE HAS SUCH A GOOD ATTITUDE AND DOESN'T MIND CARING FOR ME AND THE KIDS AND OUR HOME. :) HE'S GLAD FOR ANY TIME WITH US, AND HE HAS BEEN READING BIBLE STORIES AND TALKING TO THEM ABOUT JESUS BEFORE BED AT NIGHT. I'M GLAD FOR THAT TOO, BECAUSE THERE ARE MANY TIMES I HAVE TO PUT THEM TO BED WITHOUT DADDY BECAUSE HE GOES FROM WORK TO WORK AND SOMETIMES WORK. :( THANKFULLY SOMETIMES LIFE IN A STRANGE WAY FORCES YOU TO SLOW DOWN A BIT. SO I AM GETTING STRONGER AND ABLE TO DO MORE EVERY DAY, AND I'M FOREVR GRATEFUL TO MY MOM AND ENJOYING THE TIME WE SPEND TOGETHER, AS ALWAYS. WE ARE THE SAME PERSON AND COMPLIMENT EACH OTHER SO WELL, HER AND I, WE ARE LIKE SISTERS AND BEST FRIENDS. :) WELL, THE CHILDREN ARE IN BED, AND I'M GOING UP TO GET MY CUDDLE TIME NOW WITH DADDY ;)
