Mom and I had fun gardening at Becky's yesterday. She did the mowing and heavy-lifting. I planted. Seems backwards, doesn't it? It felt great to be outside. We chose a nice, shady spot for some sedums and impatiens. Doesn't fresh mulch smell great!
Mom brought this fancy-schmancy windchime/chandelier. (It kind of makes my dollar-store windchime seem a little shabby.) I was suprised how much I loved it.
I had been planning to do some gardening all week, but, for some mysterious reason, I didn't get around to it. It's so much easier to get stuff like that done when adults outnumber babies!
I'm home now and it feels nice. I can tell how much Tony missed me, but the kids are all -"Hey, Mom. What's up? I'm going to go play." Deep down, I'm sure they missed me LOTS. Very, very deep down.
It was a rough drive home. I took Tony's truck (so that he could have the kid-hauling vehicle), which is no frills. Automatic nothing....with a tiny cab. Cozy figured that, since she was right next to me, I should hold her hand the whole way home (or tears would stream down her dejected little face!) She doesn't understand shifting gears...rolling down windows...traffic!
Did I tell you how good Becky's kids were for me? They were so good that I brought one home with me!
So glad you're back. Becky's garden looks lovely. I'm sure there were a million moments while you were gone when one or another of your children wished you were there.
ReplyDeleteYou are so awesome!! My kiddos are going to think I am just a lame-o now! I loved knowing while I was in the hospital that my kids were taken care of by someone I know loved them with all their heart. Thank You... Thank You... Thank You...
ReplyDeleteOh, what a sweet picture of you holding Cozy's hand all the way home. I'm sure very uncomforable for you! Shes such a sweetie!Thanks again Lia for your help.
ReplyDeleteNice job with the gardening. I really like the windchimes--I bet it sounds really cool. I've never seen one like that.
