Thursday

I've felt much better the last two days--not much sore throat left, and not so tired. The kids are doing pretty well. They will all play good for awhile, then someone wants something that someone else has, and that's that. Yesterday we actually got through the whole day without a movie break. I took them to Awana at the church we plan to attend here, and they had a good time. Today movie hour came early. That's the hour that mom/grandma needs a quiet break. They watched "Big Bird Goes to China" today. The grandkids had never seen it, and it has probably been a year since my kids watched it, so they all enjoyed that.

The two grandsons went over to their granparents house for the afternoon, and Abby, the daughter of a friend, came over to stay with the other four while Crystal and I
ran out to look for carpet for the new house. We enjoyed the afternoon break. We even stopped by the library to get library cards, and I checked out some "Little House on the Prairie" DVD's for the rest of the week. It has been some 28 years since I have lived near a library, and walking through today was a delight. I know we will be going there often!

Please keep praying that my DIL will take her medicine in order to get stable and be able to come home.
