Daylight savings time has really put a number on our schedule! Things just come and go so quickly and nap time seems so late now. But, it does feel like I have more time to sit down and just be with Ellie, which is always nice. I made a commitment to myself today to pick myself up off the mopey train and get my things in order. Tom has been gone for a month now and I gave myself a month to adjust. Now is that time. I know I can do this. God has given me the strength I need to move forward and my family and friends are the support I turn to when I need a release. I am re-evaluating what is going to work best for our family in these circumstances and move from there. I'm contemplating putting Ellie in a mother-day-out program which will give me one day of day care (essentially) so that I can just re-cooperate.
The thing I'm really and truly grateful for today was that Ellie and Lily played so nicely today! I took them to McDonald's while Jess spruced up the house getting ready for a party, and they just had a great time! It was so nice to see. Plus, there was an older boy in there, probably about 10, who let Ellie follow him around and played with her. She loves being with older kids so it was nice that he didn't just ignore her. Kids really can be sweet to one another when they think no one is watching!
