Daily Diary – January 28 2011

I know we’re not at the end of the day but am about to rush out the door to go to the airport and I wanted to make sure to post today’s entry. I had the day off work so most of what I did was to sit around and do errands and chores I’ve been putting off like folding several loads of laundry. I also packed and exercised and drew my portrait. I journaled, too!

Nathaniel kept me company while he wasn’t napping. He played right along me and even gave me some hugs.

I will miss the little boy so much!

Here he is after his nap, telling me to put choo choo on. (And now he’s got blah-blah too which is blue’s clues.)

And I tried to snap one of the big boy but he was thinking about what games to put on his phone and wouldn’t really look my way.

And the second I told him we were done, he went back to looking for games.

And now I leave for the airport. I hope that everything goes smoothly, I arrive safely, the shuttle takes me there without problem and my jaw pain goes down a bit because I am not sure how much Advil I can take in a weekend. Hopefully, I’ll be updating from Los Angeles, but otherwise see you in two days. Have a wonderful weekend!!

Three Things I’m Grateful For:
1. I am grateful that I can leave my kids and go on this trip. It’s all to the credit of my husband who is amazing and kind and a wonderful daddy.
2. I am grateful that I got much of my tasks for today done. I feel tired so I am hoping I might nap on the plane.
3. I am grateful for someone letting me help her today. I plan to write a lot more about helping in general at some point but i know it takes courage and heart to accept help as well as give it and i know it rewards both parties so much so I am deeply grateful for this person’s trust in me .

Three Things David’s Grateful For:

3. I am grateful that it’s the weekend
