Dear Grandma

Dear Grandma,

What a long day. I did not get much sleep because I have toretrain our dog Mavrick not to sleep in bed with me because with my husband and I there is not room for him in bed. I will retrain him and then sleep well again. I also know he and I will both have better nights when I can go back to walking him everyday again. The dog and I are both looking wide around the middle because it has simply been too cold to walk outside this winter.

My Mom had a big day today, she went to here a speach at her church. I am so glad I talked her into going. She called and told me that she enjoyed listing to the speaker and even bought a book she had signed. I wish I could have gone with her, but my day was busy in other ways.

Today I got a slow start and then dove into house work. I was rather please with myself for how much I got done. I still have house work but that is pretty normal. Then we all went shoping for food and my husband got a nice haircut. The kids were not too happy that the answer for all of the extras that they have gotten this far in their lives was NO but in the long run they will be just fine with out the extras. It was just as hard for me not to have the extras I wanted but the answer for me was NO just the same as it was for them, and I too will be alright in the long run.  After we went shoping we came home and I dove right into cooking for my husband so he could go to work on time. The I tried to cook for the kids and they were picky. In the end all of them ate something for dinner, so I count that as a small victory today.

I took a great deal of comfort today in thinking of you and Grandpa being together. I loved seeing you together, the feeling of love and of being at home that the two of you built where ever you were togther. I miss being in the glow of that feeling you two shared together with everyone who entered your loving home. Not only did you build the house you two built the home we all loved to be in. I now try very hard taking comfort in the fact that the two of you are together.

Well the busy life of a Stay at home Mom calls me loud at the moment. I love you.
