Day #2

Today was a good day. Again, I was called and surrounded by loving, encouraging people, and I am so thankful for them!

The day didn't go as planned, but it went, nonetheless.

One of my friend's had an adoption party today for the newest member of their family. It was an honor to share this special day with them.

On the way home, we stopped at Lowe's to get some supplies for my projects that I have begun while Jon is away. I decided to paint the awful, gilded fireplace front instead of repairing the purple bricks. I got heat-resistant paint for stoves and fireplaces (who knew?) and I will spray that when the weather is dry. I also got some paint for two shelves that I have. I think I got a robins-egg blue for those. For the fireplace glass, I got black. I just hope it doesn't look like a black hole against my white brick fireplace...If it does, I'll just pull it out again!

So, two of my friends say to take a sledgehammer to that ugly bathroom and get whacking and one of my friends says that I should just paint something and be done with it! So, I'm still debating on the whole bathroom thing, but I did have someone offer to help take out the toilet and stuff for me. That makes the offer even more tempting.

People have been so kind to us. We have offers for dinner and company and even offers of spending the night with us in case we get lonely. But I kind of liked being alone last night after the boys fell asleep.

But, on the downside, the dryer went out, the dog is throwing up, and my son just wants to be left alone ~ he's apparently in some sort of mourning. Also, the midwife ditched me today, so I felt kind of rejected.

But all in all, I'm feeling great and thanks to everyone who has been so kind!

Day two almost finished. Six more to go!
