Spent a second day this week (the other one was Monday) helping out a neighbor by watching her two little ones while she had important things to do. (there's a terminally ill grandmother, who's about to go on hospice care, and I'm helping them by watching the kids while they trade off watching the g'mother) I'm whupped! I'm not sure if the 7 month old baby made such a difference, or just spending so much time in someone else's house. It was the same on Monday. Long day.
Our kids were such troopers, though. I can see our house from theirs and it was good to be able to 'sort of' keep an eye on our children while I was gone.
I was there today from 9:30am until nearly 4pm, and I'll tell you, it was so wonderful to walk back home and see our kids. Funny how much I appreciate them when I'm forced to be separated for awhile. Then, after taking a small late lunch break, I went to the grocery with two of the boys....and spent the rest of the evening on auto-pilot...am looking forward to bed, that's for sure. All I'm missing is a juicy book to hide myself in. It's been awhile since I've totally enjoyed a read. Will have to figure out that one---can't go long without a good book.
Oh, and not as an afterthought, but I did want to say that the tobyMac concert last night was choice. We all enjoyed it so much. I'd post some photos, but the lighting was so intense, that my camera caught more glare than people. I'm still a bit wowed that we got to see them. One of our boys was so excited, he said he was looking forward to this concert more than anything else he'd ever done. Glad it measured up. ;) Totally cool, that's for sure.
Looking forward to a quiet weekend. Church tomorrow night, and enjoyment of the 60 degree days we're supposed to be treated with for the next few days. I don't want to 'have to' do anything. Sounds good, yes?!!
