Today, it's all me.

Ry headed to Houston early this morning for business and I'm off work and hanging with E.

I've got lots of stuff I'm trying to wrap my brain around today. Lots of stuff to do as well. I'm sure it won't all happen since I'm already 2 hours into E's nap and I haven't started anything. (I had to take a nap too…..last night I was at work till 1 am and got up at 5:30 with E).

My expectations to get “my stuff” done are low, however. The only thing I am to accomplish everyday is quality time with the kids. Time so they know how much they're loved.

E's up…..gotta run.

I have excellent news to report.

X has just learned all the words to her first Barlow Girl song: Enough

She asked me to “play it again!” over and over on the car ride home from the pumpkin patch and again on the way to and from church!

Then……she sang it on her own while helping me clean up from breakfast.

Super.

And, yes, this is the song that plays as a call tone when you call my cell!

Seriously. Cute.

Even when he kept us up from 2:304:00 am this morning. Cute.

This is my friend Angela's cup.

I love it.

I will sit at her kitchen table and eat (completely unhealthy) cinnamon rolls and drink coffee with her again.

Her courage and strength fills my cup. Seriously.

Angela's new heart is beating on its own!

Surgery went well….they may have to operate again today though so keep praying!

Today was a good day. Had some therapy sessions for X, but overall everything went well. E and I went shopping for some winter clothes….since it got down to 40 degrees here in SA overnight!

I'm beginning to think that kids clothes shopping could become my new scrapbook supply shopping.

Update: Angela didn't end up going into surgery until 6pm. So far so good.

Lord you are in control……and you are good.
