Overtired last night. Slept through a very loud (so the kids say) thunderstorm the previous night, so I'm thinking I need to rest more. When I go to sleep, which is quick and easy, I sleep hard. I told Gary it's my escape mechanism. Turn off my brain and experience relief. A mental retreat.
So.
Went out with oldest daughter this afternoon. Lunch out, which was her treat. A trip to Michael's for some notecards for writing Joseph at AIT (advanced individual training) camp. Some Easter pretties just for fun, including a tiny ceramic pig, who's adorable. There's something so appealing about pigs.
Good to get away and out. To not focus on my mom, even though we went later on and bought groceries, including some for her, which we took over.
Shoot me now. Sometimes I feel as if life has played a big joke on me. It's like someone mixed up our name tags and we're not playing the roles I'm used to. A son in the Army Nat'l Guard (what's up with being a military mom?) and a mother who's not herself. I need a do over. ;)
New mantra...keep sense of humor. Keep sense of humor. Repeat.
