What did you do today?

Today Kimleighel wanted to go to breakfast.  Actually, she wanted to go Saturday but it was already too busy and so we made plans to go today.  Breakfast makes me sick....really it does.  I don't like it so soon after waking....really I don't like breakfast until dinner.  I would prefer to start with lunch.  Eating hours after getting up just works better for me and my tummy.  While we were eating a Special Needs guy was sat right behind me.  I kept thinking I should pay for his meal.  Then a couple came and sat with him and I almost talked myself out of it but the thought was still there and so when I went to pay for my ticket I asked the person helping me to add his bill to mine.  It made me feel like I had really done something....I believe kindness affects the giver most.

We went to the store after because Kimi and I both wanted to get a "few" things.  We each spent ended up getting more than we had planned on.  (usually happens)  We decided to go to my mom's and change her clock by her stairs.  I have been changing it for years and I guess I forgot to spring it ahead.  I let Kimleighel change it and she made it look so easy.  I think I will take her in the fall too.

I got home and grabbed my taxi hat and went and picked up Ivy and Zaden.  I could have taken them home because TJ called and said he was home but I didn't want to.  I like that the kids like coming to my house and so I want to let them when they can.  They played a few games on the wii before we needed to go get Jared.

I got home minutes before Larry after dropping the kids off and then we headed to the hospital to talk to Jim, Sandy and Keri.  Keri looks so much like her mom....I liked that.  Sandy reminded me so much of my dad his last few days.  She was on her side and kind of curled up. I got a little emotional today.  It's so hard saying "good-bye".  It's also so hard leaving.....it hurts....the hurt is visible even though there are plenty of drugs being used.  Larry and I left and went and cleaned out Sandy's room in the Nursing Home.  That was kind of hard too.   Larry had thought to do that for Jim and we were both glad that it was us cleaning things out instead of Jim.  Jim has plenty of hard things already that he is dealing with.

On the way to Jim's house we noticed a big accident with lots of police cars blocking the roads.  It involved a motorcycle and we could tell that the driver of the motorcycle didn't make it.  There was a sheet over him.  I later read that the woman of the vehicle that hit him got out of her car and asked a witness if she had hit something.  I guess she didn't even know.  I said a prayer for the driver and the family of the victim.  My heart hurt for everyone involved which includes many that weren't even there.  I'm so thankful for prayer.  I'm so glad that we can pray any time for any thing and any one.

When we walked in the door I heard little voices.  I had forgot that I told Natalie to bring the kids down while her and Justin went birthday shopping.  I knew we wouldn't be home but I knew Kimi and Jared would and that the kids would be happy here.  The kids were the perfect ending to this day.  Mya jumped up and came running to give me a huge hug and then after Macie gave Grandpa a hug she wanted me.  Parker gave me hugs later.  The grands are such a blessing and when Larry asked what I did all day, I can smile and say "enough". ☺
