I got kind of bummed that Jon wasn’t able to call on Mothers’ Day. Yeah well, I guess that’s how it is. I’m still slightly peeved, but I will get over it; I always do. To my delight, both the girls made it through a full week of school (it is a miracle) and let me tell you it felt great!!! Vannah has a slight head cold, but knock on wood, no signs of an ear infection (I love tubes).
I think this week I’m just generally thankful that my husband is still okay. I know one out of six families has suffered some losses and my heart breaks for those mothers, wives, and children. I can’t begin to imagine the sorrow and grief that they must be going through. I’m just thankful that we have so much and that thus far, Jon is OK. I do feel more “on edge” this week and when things like this happen I get really anxious. No news is good news, though.
Sometimes I do get frustrated and overwhelmed but quite honestly, it really truly makes the time pass by so much more quickly. I feel like I blinked and this past week was gone! There isn’t really even a dent in my to-do list from the past week. I still have to mow the lawn, weed it, touch up the paint in the bedroom, clean the disaster area I call a garage, blah blah blah. 
I wouldn’t trade it for anything. Well, off to fold another load of laundry then pass out in bed. Not much longer and I’ll actually have to kick Oreo and Dunkin off the bed so Jon will have a spot!
How are the rest of you holding up?
