Love These People
Dear Children, you had a fun time with family this week. It was a surprise to leave town as soon as you got home from school. Dear Family, It was good medicine to spend the weekend with you. Even though doing almost nothing was still too much for me, I'm glad that I was able to entertain you with my hunched over old lady walking and moving...and brain. Thank You for helping me with my kids, they all cried when we left. Dear Mom, Hazel was stuck to your side for most of the time. She really enjoyed her time with you, it made her feel so special. Dear Drive Home, you took your toll. Big Time. I made it home, that's all that matters now that it's over. Dear B+D, I was so glad to get to go to Lincolns baptism! I wish I could have spent more time with you. I miss you guys! Dear Little Things, my favorite nail clippers have gone missing. I let my guard down. Never trust children. It's those little things in life like a really good pair of fingernail clippers that can make or break a day sometimes. Dear Valentines Day, I am not able to make it as great as I wish I could. Eh. It's just a day, right....right? Dear Awkward, sending "I Love you Camille" to the guy you just were assigned to home teach...that you've never met...in a text...I'm glad it wasn't me. He didn't get a reply. Dear Will, thank you for helping so much with everything. Taking the kids to get their valentines for school, feeding them, helping get them to school. I truly appreciate all that you do. Dear Self, I really don't have a lot to say to myself that is very constructive right now. Other than I need to remember what I know in my heart to be true. I'm never alone because I know the Lord loves me and I will always have worth to him. No matter what. Stay in today (this one is very very hard). I am stronger than I think I am. Remember all of my many blessings and all of the things that I am so grateful for. That will do for today.
