Julie was kind enough to drop me off at work on her way to school. Thomas took Hayden to school after we spent a great amount of time trying to help him understand different narrative voices.
Julie and I hit QT for my morning Diet Coke run before she dropped me off at my dad's house. Work was uneventful. Jodi called and picked me up a little early, we swung by Sonic for my next Diet Coke and headed to make the rounds of picking up kids. First Talmage at the babysitters, then Desert Mountain for Jodi's kids and then to drop me off before Hayden was to be picked up at 3:15.
Brooklyn stayed and played and it was so nice to have Hayden and Brooklyn get along so great. I fell asleep, like usual. Hayden made him and Brooklyn corn dogs for a snack, while I slept.
Hayden had finished all homework and asked if while Thomas was at a business meeting if he and I could watch Green Lantern. I agreed and cuddled on the couch for an hour and a half with my bug. He explained everything to me and loved the movie as if it were his first time seeing it, not his twenty-first.
After a great scripture study on Shepherds/sheep/wolves in sheep's clothing, and some great insights from Hayden. We had family prayer and tucked Hayden into bed.
Thomas and I sat on the couch and talked while he rubbed my feet with my neuropathy medicine. Of course, I fell asleep and we both woke up sometime during the night to turn off the tv and head for our room.
There was nothing unique or out of the ordinary about this day. It has become our normal. We don't go many places. I fall asleep every afternoon when I get home. We stay at home as much as possible. We have a very low key life. Lately, I see the blessings in the ordinary and the mundane. And, for the most part, I have really settled in to our new life. Not the life I had planned or wanted, but one where I get great joy out of just being with my family. For that, I am grateful!
