What a rough morning.  EO and the girls took mom to her doc apt.  Lauren also had a doc apt at the same time.  Plus she had to bring her car in to have some sort of coating or something put on it.  They also needed to do some shopping.  So Colton is here with me today.

EO wasn't feeling good when he woke up this morning and he wanted to stay in bed.  Well that woke me up, and after he left I tried to go back to sleep but couldn't.  So I was up at 7 and trying to do my Bible reading.  When I was doing my letter writing I kept falling asleep.  I haven't done that in a long time.  I fought it and fought it but I couldn't even finish it up I had to go back to bed.  I slept for just over an hour when my mom called and woke me up.  She felt bad for waking me up but I told her it was fine, as if I slept much longer, I wouldn't sleep tonight.

After I talked to her for awhile, I went and finished my letter writing, then I went and got all our plastic ware out of storage. So my next project is to sit and count it all. I know we have enough, but the only thing I don't know is if we have enough knives. I think we do, I'm just not positive, thus the counting.  I am going to go ahead and sort them into sets.  I am thinking we might as well just set the tables for the party.  OK, everyone else will have to set the tables, as I won't be able to do that.  EO said I am doing too much. I told him I haven't done anything that I can't sit here and do.  Which is true.  In fact, I have even had help with that at times.  

I am a mix of emotion here.  I am so so sad that B&C won't be able to go on their trip.  The whole hospital ordeal just have them beat.  But I am so glad they are coming for the dinner.  Carol wants to help us serve and that just brings me the biggest smile followed by a silly quick clapping of the hands.  The kids all had the same reaction I did.  At least when they have recovered, they are going to go someplace special.
