Thinking About Tomorrow

Tomorrow evening is looking to be a bit on the tricky side.  Aaron has parent teacher conferences, so won't be home until late.  The kids have swim lessons.  No big deal... right?  Hannah goes first.  Isaac has to wait 35 minutes until his turn comes around.  They overlap about 10 minutes.  All this goes on during our normal dinner time, and Eli is not very good at waiting for his dinner.  Hannah gets done and we have to wait 25 minutes for Isaac to finish.  Normally Aaron and I tag team and it works fairly well.  But I will be on my own.  I have a plan that I am hoping and praying works.  The baby backpack will come in very handy, as will an early dinner for Eli.  Hopefully all will go smoothly and we will leave the swimming pool triumphant. 

Isaac had a moment today.  We were shopping at Rite Aid, as I am loving their up rewards program.  He was looking at some alluring bubble bath with cartoon characters on them and one tipped over, breaking open and spilling on the floor.  It was an accident, nothing more.  I told him we needed to find someone who worked at the store so it could be cleaned up so that no one would fall.  He broke into tears and cried, "Mommy, I'm so scared!"  Poor little guy.  He felt terrible about it.  I reassured him and we found a lady who worked their.  She was fabulous and helped comfort Isaac.  I love nice people. 

The kids and I are getting close to being fully recovered from this nasty cold.  Isaac is off his antibiotic and Hannah made it through this cold without a secondary infection!!!!  The surgery must of done the trick.  Thanks be to God! We have been praying for an answer to this chronic illness problem of Hannah's and I think our prayer has been answered.  Hannah seems to be quite happy about not needing to see the Dr. and get meds.  I'm sure she feels soooo much better.

So, all is well in Pullman.  The house is messy, but not as messy as it was this morning.  Another load of laundry is done.  No more cooking for the night.  All of the kids are in bed and asleep... I think.  Aaron is snoring in the recliner.  I am sitting at the computer in my lounging clothes.  I'm getting ready to set things out for the morning.  Life is good.
