Jan. 15, 2008 - Back to "Normal"......
.....whatever THAT is.
Wasn't there a book by that name or something similar a while back?? Anyway.
SO glad to be done with some of the unpleasantries of the past few days. Sheesh. Sometimes it just hits you in waves, eh? And in places you don't expect it.
But we survived. I see many major changes on the horizon. Hubby has been doing alot of 'soul searching'. Regarding "family". Hmmmm. We'll see what develops.
But we are now free to resume our 'regularly scheduled lives'....until the next 'thing' happens, which could be any moment.
School was ok on Friday, all things considered. You know, little things like finding out a grandfather you really didn't know very well has died. It seriously had NO EFFECT......at least no effect anyone could tell.....on small son. How very sad.
But, much like I wrote about on my new blog and current Bible study site, www.daughterofgracemom.blogspot.com ,small son's reaction certainly reflects not only the life and choices of my husband, but most importantly the life and choices of HIS father. As my Daddy used to always say "we die how we live".....or to quote a more well known source. "Live by the sword, die by the sword".
'Nuff said.
We did manage to do half a day of school on Friday....and I have good news!!! With this schedule that I am unwilling to break unless Jesus plants His foot on this globe again, small son seems to be having an improved attitude for school!!!! YEAH!!!
We have also seen improvement not only in his attitude toward school, but toward his life in general.
I heard banging around in the kitchen one day last week.....and asked "what are you doing out there"......"I'm going to do the dishes", was his reply. Without me asking?? Not as an 'avoidance' tactic?? Will wonders never cease!!
He also.....and anyone with boys will agree with me how very life changing this one was......he also......went and took a shower ON HIS OWN.....w/o cajoling from me, or wheedling, or begging, or threatening. WOW. Talk about shock!!
Could it be he is ......sigh.......growing up??
Oh, my.
More on what we accomplished today, tomorrow.
