No news is no news
That's right. Nothing. The stone, to the best of my knowledge, is still where it was last week. In fact, up until this morning, I experienced no pain at all. However, sometime in the middle of 2nd service, it started up again. By the time I got home from church, I was popping my first pain pill since Wednesday night.
I didn't sleep, but I was sorta loopy. In fact, as I tried to talk to Mark, he made fun of my slurred speech. Comes with the territory, I guess.
One of the things I've noticed over the past 3-4 days is that when I'm not doing the things I always do, my kids miss me. Did you catch that. . . my kids miss me! They could skip Mother's Day, as far as I'm concerned.
Today, after church, I collapsed into bed. Mark fed the kids and got Caroline down for a nap. He even took them to pick pumpkins after her nap. When they got back, he brought her into my room--and she squealed, sat on my lap, and gave me a big kiss without being asked. That, my friends, is one of the best things ever. My presence in the day-to-day stuff was missed. Made me feel like a million bucks!
That's it. I'm out of stuff to write about. So, rather than ramble on, I'll leave you with some pictures of the pumpkin adventure. Very fun. Wish I was there. But, I kind of enjoyed the quiet house while they were out adventuring in the field.
Enjoy!

So sorry to hear you are still not well. Thanks for dropping us a line though - been thinking about you. Nice to know how much you are loved and wanted - even if it took for you to get sick for them to realise - so often the way. Hope you are back up and about with your family real soon and love the pumpkin photos - Caroline is so cute :)
Wow the pictures are fantastic! What a truckload of pumpkins/gourds!
Nice to be missed isn't it! (Miss seeing you online more too!) Mind you Carter's been monopolizing the computer quite a bit around here so I've been scarce myself!
Hope the drugs are working and you get un-stoned soon!
Melly :)
Those are some large pumpkins, and all those gourds too! Thanks for sharing those great pictures. I hope your feeling better soon. Take care and not too much of the good stuff. OK!
