it sure is a beautiful hole in the earth.

When I woke up this morning, I opened my eyes to see EO looking at me.  My hair was all hanging over my face, so I must have looked funny.  He just smiled.  It was such a nice way to wake up.  Normally I wake up before he does and I slip out of bed so I don't disturb him so he can keep sleeping.  It isn't real often he is up before me.  

We then ate and did our morning worship and then he was out the door.  He had to go to town today as he had some running to do.  He will stop to see his mom too.  

Oh so last night, it was about 11pm our phone rings... EO like, never runs to the phone, but at that time of the night, when no one calls, unless it is bad news, he ran to get the phone.  It turns out it was only Colton, and he just had a question for him.  With Bill sick and his mom... well, our pulse just shot up.  As of today it has been 9 months since Carol went into the hospital.  9 extremely long, heart breaking months.  We are all so on edge all the time.  It is amazing to see her fighting to live, but heart breaking to know she can't be cured.  EO is often able to go spend time with his dad in the evenings.  And the nights he doesn't go over there, he calls him.  And then a couple times a week EO drives Bill up to see Carol. So EO tries to keep close tabs on him as much as he is able.  This winter has been tough on EO, as he hasn't been able to get outside to do much.  That is where he gets his down time.  Even if he is cutting up fire wood, it allows him to be able to decompress from the stresses he has.  So I am so very thankful the snow is gone and he can just let himself recover.  With all the rain, he isn't getting as much time outside yet, but when he has, I can see that he is getting more relaxed. 

So my hips and back are SCREAMING at me... again today.  Walking is nearly impossible for me today.  Almost to the point of pulling my hair out.  I even had to pull out the big pills today.  I'm still waiting for them to kick in. I wish I could have taken them sooner, but I just have too many other meds I have to take in the morning.  I just don't want to mix in the extra pain meds in too close to some of my more sensitive meds.  So sometimes it just requires more endurance.   But then, these days, everyone has something rough to endure.
