Angels

The Master Sergeant replacing Jeff here in arrived here last week and I have been showing her and her family around a bit. Taking them out to eat and out to shop. This giving me the opportunity to see some of my favorite places, perhaps for the last time. I don't know I would have taken the time to do these things if it hadn't been for them. I have had such a lovely time.

Next week we move out of the house and into the hotel. I will be saying goodbye to my computer. I have been trying to think of a final blog entry to leave up while I am in the process of moving, but my creativity seems to be already packed away.

I keep taking my camera with me on our adventures around town, but I keep forgetting to take it out and snap pictures. My brain is so totally fried right now that it is hilarious. I try to tell our new friends about a restaurant or a store or something and every time the name of the place totally escapes me. I must sound like an idiot. Oh well. I did get some sunshine today so my mood is good, the stress hasn't gotten me yet. Or, maybe it has but I just forgot.

I am loath to admit this...

I work really hard at being a good mom. I read a lot of books, I have taken a lot of classes, I stay up all night discussing strategies with Jeff, etc. But...

While I was in Mississippi and Jeff was taking care of the girls, somehow he fixed Lily's screaming problems. Since I have been home she has been as sweet as pie, for the most part. Not just while she was sick, but even before and now after. We went out to dinner with a bunch of people and Lily was delightful. I have taken her all over the place with hardly and warning and she is always delightful. She speaks politely and hardly ever resorts to fits when she is distraught. So Jeff fixed Lily, which maybe embarrassing to admit but it is so delightful that I don't even care.

Our new friends even remarked that they thougth we were exaggerating about Lily because she is always so sweet. If they only knew.
