A busy Saturday draws to a close and finds me seated alone
on my daughter’s couch. The little ones were put to bed, much later than
normal, that’s what happens when grandma babysits. My husband returned home
exhausted but happy from the Notre Dame game. Stephanie and Christopher have
also called it a day ready to end 15 hours in constant motion.
My body held out for me even with some of the unique
expectations placed on it today. I’m not so used to floor puzzles, multiple
trips down to a basement, or being a tickle monster for two fantastic toddlers.
I love the stuffed snowballs that we threw at each other, and I’m happily
surprised that neighbors didn’t call the police. We did pretty well chasing
each other in the hopes to zap one of us with a snowball. (I just ordered a set
of the Snowball Fight kit from Amazon so watch out if you come over to visit.)
I got the young ‘uns some new clothes that can count for
their birthday or Christmas. It’s silly to wait until then to give them the
items since they can be wearing them now. Ollie’s new monster shoes have got to
be the best purchase. I’ll try to have photos to show off the new goodies.
I’m tired, but it’s a pretty nice tired. It will probably
take me 16 years to climb the stairs but it’s more tired and creaky bones other
than sharp pains. I’ll do my
prayers in bed, which can take hours. If I do fall asleep while praying, I
figure it’s nice having my last thoughts of the day be with God. I’m also
hoping to finish my current book on Lewy Bodies Dementia.
Tomorrow will be church and then an early birthday
celebration for Bob. We’ll probably leave late afternoon. It’s always hard to
leave Stephanie, et al, but I know I will see them in just a couple of weeks
for my niece’s wedding. It’s amazing how my grandsons even change in two weeks.
I want them to grow nice and strong but does it really have to be at this
alarming rate. The zipping calendar spins faster and faster.
So, I’m off to take Einstein out one last time before I hit
the hay. I better start talking to God for I have many things for which to
thank Him. Hey, I’ll start as I’m climbing the stairs since that takes me so
long. Life is good.

Even
with a zipping calendar, I manage to enjoy lots of blessings every day.
