A little bit of This and That today...

• Five years ago yesterday I gave birth to a still born baby boy. We named him Wesley, after my grandfather. We went to the cemetary where we had his ashes scattered and he has a name plaque along a stone walk way. Still, five years later I feel like it was yesterday that I was giving birth to him. Funny how the rest of the world goes on and no one but Mr. Man and I remember the date --which is the same feeling I had when I was in the hospital. I remember holding his life-less body and looking out my hospital window at the traffic going by and wondering how on earth those people could go on with their day as if nothing was wrong. Didn't they know what I was going through? I feel the same way about the day yesterday, but on the other hand I realize that no one can be expected to remember such a thing five years later. (and I certainly wasn't upset that no one remembered!)
• Spirit and Lefty decided to walk home from school without telling anyone yesterday. Boy were they busted when Mr. Man caught up to them!
• We have found two houses that are possibilities. Both, of course have some minor complications so we are on "hold" waiting for our realtor to help us work through the issues. Then we can hopefully make a decision on one or the other!
• We are having our first Children's Ministry event at the church tonight! I am a little nervous! All I have to do is work in the nursery, but there has been a lot of planning going on to make this event extra special!
• Spirit has had hives for a week now and I think he is worried about this housing stuff. He has always been a worrier and even though I ask him if he is ok, he just says "yup!" and won't open up to me. I called the doctor and of course there isn't anything they can do. They told me a week ago, when he first got them, that he had a virus and this rash was the tail end of it... but I am not so sure anymore. I am not going to worry about it though and let it runs it's course. I will just keep an eye on it.
• I found some cool storage ideas, but don't want to commit to anything until we know which house we are getting... if any!
• I am going to start packing this weekend, even though we haven't found a house yet. I want to be ready. There are all kinds of things that we don't need and I can get them packed up and put them in the garage. I also want to donate some stuff, maybe have a garage sale too if there is time.
