Change in focus

Today was a quiet day and I was in a pretty somber mood. Chloe and I stayed home together and I didn't change out of my pjs until 11:00. I printed her off some coloring sheets and let her color, paint, cut and paste. She had a great time. I always meant to be a mom who did things like that with her kids, but life seemed to get in the way most of the time. Not anymore. You really can't go through something like this without it completely changing your life and your priorities.

I remember shortly before Christmas Greg and I were picking out wrapping paper. I have always been a person who picks the stuffier wrapping paper that will match the decor. It was always my choice and what I wanted. This was the first year I actually picked out the obnoxious wrapping paper, knowing that the kids would love it. Just a change in focus.

Maddie and Carter are back at school and doing well. Greg is back at work - his back is either getting a little better, or he's just tolerating the pain. I am just taking things day by day. Some days the tears are more plentiful than others. Hopefully tomorrow will be a little better than today. Love you all - jc
