Day 14

It’s been awhile since I’ve written anything. I just haven’t been myself lately. I’m not sure exactly what’s “off”, but things are just a bit mixed up. Life is very full right now, but it’s also very disorganized. I’m having trouble with everyday routines. I’m sure this will clear up, but until it does I’m not very productive. I feel like I’m just sort of running around putting out small fires. I’ve been very busy, although I couldn’t really tell you what I’ve been busy doing, and I haven’t been sleeping well. Probably all things will look brighter if I can just get some sleep.

Thankfully my husband is very understanding. He’s very patient with me about things. I’m not sure what I thought he’d be like, but he’s been very easy going, and not making any demands on my time. Patience is normally not his strong suit, but he’s always surprised me with the timeliness of when he brings it out.

I remember a time when we bought some new tables. We were hard pressed for money, living paycheck to paycheck, and it was a pretty big deal to us. Things like new furniture were almost frivolous in the face of the bills and the small budget, so when Jonathan dropped his baseball bat on the corner of one of them and dented it, I thought Allen was going to throw a fit! I got SO upset about the impending blow up that I had a fit of my own, only to have him say, “Aw, well, it’s just a table. Kid dents give it character.” Go figure! He’s patient and understanding at some of the strangest, and most perfect times! What a guy. I love him.
