blessed

A better, but not less busy day today.  I ate breakfast and lunch as well as feeding the munchkins.  I have supper planned and ready, G, A and A have recently departed and S is sleeping peacefully.  We've been to the park, through the sprinkler, flew gliders, played "spot it", snuggled and read.  We also kissed lots of boo boos

I learned that when I eat a big supper, that I wake up feeling hungry, even though I'm probably not.  I think it is a slight stomach stretch that makes it seem so, and if I have a drink of water it goes away and sometimes doesn't return for hours.

I am reminded of how much patience and energy it takes to parent and I have a renewed remembering of how rewarding, but exhausting it is.  I have so much respect for anyone parenting today.

I have some work this afternoon to finalise staffing and then the boys and I will relax for the evening.  I am truly blessed to have kids I love and admire and grandbabies that I enjoy so much!

Lovingly, elly
