I continue to find it difficult to write at times. I know that my children are entitled to their privacy, and their shenanigans are not for public viewing. Because that is dominating life right now, it makes it hard to want to get on here and document for posterity.
We had a nice weekend though. We met my mom & sister for dinner on Friday, then took off to visit my in-laws Saturday after Thomas's art class. It was a very short visit, but my father-in-law turned 80 last week so we drove over to have dinner with them. For the first time ever, my mother-in-law wept as we left. Between my father-in-law's age and my brother-in-law's declining health, she knows their days of traveling to us will be rare, if ever. Not to mention the toll that my brother-in-law's constant care is taking on them. She feels that she is missing the kids grow up, and my husband felt sad and guilty as we took off. We know that we can only do what we can do, but we've decided to look into some retirement and health facilities here to see if we can convince them to move here. It doesn't hurt to try.
Other than that, life is moving along, and I pray every day for peace in my heart, and patience and strength to get through these teen years!
