Today is one of those days when it would have been nice if Lee had not joined the Army. It would have been nice to have Lee as a part of the family today, this week.
Kids are both behind with reports they are writing. Hazel works really hard. I did not push her over the vacation, however, because I feel like she is in 5th grade and deserves to have a Holiday without the stress of homework. However, now she is behind and had a point taken (rare for her) today because she was unprepared. Liam is also behind, sucking on his lip because he is worried about all the writing he needs to do.
I worked today so my Mother-in-law came over early as she always does. She got the kids off to school. Her back has been going into spasm again lately. I have known her for a long time and have watched her back defend her from various things like emotions, sadness, fear, etc. Something is working on her and today it went. She was in severe pain and ended up in the Emergency Room because she could not walk or move. They loaded her up with IV pain meds ....still in pain...still incapacitated...x-ray (no obvious injury)...so more pain meds...she began to relax and breathe. Friends and my visiting relatives pulled together to pick the kids of from school for us, feed them and help them get a start on homework.
I was at work and was able to check in on her in the ED. She had a good nurse. The dogs had to hang for 11 hours today while all the happened so I felt bad for them. However, it all worked out. I just wish Lee could have been here. His Mom could have used his support. The kids and I could have used his support as well.
Late now, heading to bed hoping that Alvin (the small dog) will sleep and not run around crazy in my bed.
