Today was another good day. Nothing insanely out of the ordinary today, just a normal day of kids and errands. My husband was finally able to get me his address yesterday, along with a shopping list, so I spent the late morning/early afternoon running around to various stores to pick up what he needed. I came home, packed the box, and went back out again to go to the post office. It was insane! The whole lobby (not sure if that is sufficient enough of a word) was filled with people, and they only had one clerk. It was a long wait. I do have to say though, the kids were pretty well behaved, especially for a 45 min visit. I had to talk to my son more than a few times, but the progress here is that he responded when I talked to him and I rarely had to pull out the counting and/or threats. When we got home, we went right to work to pick up the house a bit. The girls and I worked together and got it done quickly. We had just been so busy the past couple of days that the house was getting neglected. Again, I was pretty happy. They did the work quickly with minimal complaints. I truly think we are starting to get it. We are starting to work together to make this house run. Today was a good day!
This morning, I was woken up at 6:30am (it was a late night for all of us and the kids were surprisingly still in bed) by a text message. It was from my husband via his email. He told me good morning, told me he loves me and misses me, and then said, "Now go back to sleep." And that, ladies and gentlemen, is why I love him so. He thought of me this morning to send that message, he knew I would wake up to read it, and wanted to ensure I went back to sleep. It made me smile. It was typical Ian. To think about me like that, care about me enough to write, and still try to take care of me from over 7700 miles away. That is love. And that, again, started my day off right.
I am doing ok. I can say that honestly now. I am getting the hang of it. One day at a time. Tomorrow is Wednesday... I can do this.
