A Brighter Day

Well a small part of Jaren's cling-on problem yesterday was simply that he had a fever. I didn't realize it until we were playing on the computer together. It was low-grade and I just let him sweat it out overnight. Of course he cried out alllllll night. But, hey, what parent really needs to sleep undisturbed all night? Not Super-mom, which, by-the-way, I am not! He was back to normal today. Thank You , Jesus!!!
Brianna called to let me know when she got to her daddy's right on time. She was excited to see her Grandma Lina and the dogs. Her Uncle Randy was still at work. I talked to her a few minutes at lunch time to let her know I was going to Tallahassee with Faye and give her a phone #. Then I called around 10 to let her know I was home. She was busy playing her new game with Grandma, waiting for Daddy to come home. She had to get off the phone quickly...she couldn't "concentrate and talk on the phone at the same time!" I feel the love!! But I really am glad she is doing so well! She almost backed out of going at the last minute and I had to almost make her go. That was one of the hardest things I've ever had to do! I was a basket case all day Friday. Crying every time I turned around. Apparently, I turn around an awful lot! I couldn't talk to anyone about anything. Being quiet didn't help either! Today I only shed a few tears and was able to talk about her leaving and her last few days before she left! I hope all, or at least most of my tomorrows will be as good! At least this is only a few weeks, not forever! She is due back August 13! Greg plans to stay a few days then and Jaren will be able to stay at the hotel with him. That way if he needs to come home at 2:00 AM, he can. Rotten mamma's boy!
Today we went to Wal-mart(Quincy), the flea market, the Party Store, IHOP, Wal-mart(Tallahassee), and the Dollar Tree. I was a good girl and IHOP was my most expensive part of the day! Jaren only wanted some Spider man socks from the flea market and Superman stickers from the party store. I love when they are so easy to please! Now if only it will stay that way! It was good for us to be out and about today instead of sitting around thinking about how empty the house is without my Beautiful. I enjoyed just being with Faye and Keyonia (her daughter) and of course the "man" to supervise! Laughing and talking with a friend feels good even when your heart is breaking! A cheerful heart doeth good like a medicine...! One of my favorite verses. I like the kid's song that goes with it too!
Well, it is way past my bedtime. But, then again, I don't have to be at church until 1:30 for prayer! So nice! I'm looking forward to the great things God has in store for us!
