Well, what is "normal" anymore? I don't know. Without Mom, we tried to find some normalcy in our day. Gregory had a soccer game this morning and so we went as a family. I am slow walking out to the field, but it was good to get out. If only the sun was shining. It was freezing out there with the wind. Gregory was a jackass on the field - not paying attention and when he was, he wasn't hustling. I think all of the kids were a little off because of the chill.
I ended up taking a long nap on the couch and Jacob did everything with the children - thank goodness for him. My body is still pretty sore, but I don't have to take the pain meds around the clock anymore, which is nice.
This evening, a family friend and now colleague, dropped off supper to us from a local BBQ joint. Jacob was so happy to have some man food for supper. I will tell you, nothing beats well seasoned (i.e. bacon) green beans! I could have eaten the whole pint of those on my own. It was really nice to see Sarah and get a hug from her. Even though she delivered, the meal was provided by my team at work that I left in July. While I'm no longer working directly with them, they remain great friends and now support to me.
As much as we needed a break, I miss my parents. I want my Mom back. I wish we could all be together.
