Tired ramblings...
I don't really have anything important to say, but I thought I should write since it's been awhile. It's 11:13pm, and Andrew's at work. I told myself I would go to bed when he left, but I'm on the computer instead. I'm really tired. What's wrong with me? Why do I torture myself so? Anyway, he worked this morning, came home after lunch and napped and then went back to work at 9:30pm. They're working at a restaurant and can only work when they're closed. Poor guy. He does so much for our family. He's pretty great.
Our family is back to it's regular size again. Cameron went home yesterday. he's a pretty cute kid and wasn't any trouble at all. The only thing that drove me slightly crazy was that he watched the first 45 minutes of the movie Gifted Hands: The Ben Carson Story 50 gazillion times while he was here. I never saw the end of it b/c his attention span didn't last that long. We had it saved on our dvr, and he kept telling me he loved that movie. I found out later while we were watching it why he liked it which made me not mind as much that he wanted to watch it. The kid in the movie gets made fun of all the time for doing badly in school, and Cameron told me he's a lot like that kid b/c the kids at school call him stupid b/c he doesn't understand things sometimes. :( It made me so sad! Kids are so mean.
I had my Dad and Cheryl over for dinner tonight. I've felt bad for Cheryl lately b/c she's had lots of health problems, and I worry about her. She's always fixing dinner for us, so i thought I'd give her a break. It was nice having them over. OH, and it was so funny b/c they asked Evan if he wanted to come home with them, and he said yeah and started heading out the door. So I got him a little bag of clothes together, and he gives me hugs and kisses and tells me bye and heads out the door. Well, not even 30 seconds after they shut the door, the doorbell rings. It was cheryl with Evan, and he decided that he wanted to stay home. So andrew's like, "Do you want to stay here or go with Papa Pettus?" And he starts walking to their car, but then after a few steps turns back around to our house. So then I ask him the same question and he says, "Stay here!" I just thought it was so funny b/c he was ready to go, but then realized what was actually happening and wanted to stay home. I'm glad. I would miss my sweet boy. I think putting him in bed at night is my favorite part of the day b/c he's so darn sweet! I read him books, say prayers and get lots o' kisses. I love that kid.
Sometimes it hits me how wonderful my children are. I was holding Lauren tonight and rocking her before I laid her down, and I just felt this overwhelming sense of love for my little girl. She's my little miracle.
I told Joshua and Anna that last night, and Joshua goes, "What does that make Evan? Your little accident?" haha Ummm... I'll just say it like my mom told me, "I'd say you were more like a happy surprise." :)
Okay, well, I should go to bed. I'm tired and not sure why I'm not in bed already. Probably b/c Andrew isn't here. :(
