thank you for hearing me yesterday
and getting it,
that sometimes a change is sad, even if it is good
yesterday morning i was taken by surprise
the babysitting job
that the kids and i have grown to love in this very short amount of time
is going to end at the end of this month . . .
part of my sadness yesterday
was over how we'll miss these two little buddies
and part of it was over absolutely not wanting
to go back to working more overnights
(which ben assured me won't happen)
so, right now, i am ...
:: listening to the sound of some weird singing toy that came to my house with the little guy today
:: enjoying the sunshine, the little bits of kid stuff in my living room and the smell of coffee brewing (i'm going to have some soon . . . )
:: marveling at the wonder of all of you dear friends who send me encouraging words and thoughts and call me and just wrap me up with kindness
:: loving my husband. i can't even begin to explain how he quiets my heart
:: feeling like maybe i was a bit melodramatic yesterday . . . but, well, that's how i was feeling . . .
:: watching four happy kiddos bump around in my house, and knowing that i better go join them soon . . . and probably read another story . . .
thank you, for reading, for encouraging, for being my friends.
love,~e
