The next few days are going to be hectic around me. Don't worry. Sometimes HECTIC days and weeks are better for me - they keep my mind occupied and my head and body busy. I have the big teacher conference dinner which I've been planning for months and today my son is home sick. Tomorrow is Valentines day. All Valentines that needed to be mailed to grandparents and uncle and aunts and niece are out! Now I have to get my son to fill his in for the class and his teachers. I have a couple of appointments I have to be at throughout the week and there is some things happening on my family's front that could be absolutely good or absolutely devastating. I pick the good! Who knows? Things may not change at all. I just hope a little bit of good news comes through soon!
At the end of the week I am traveling back to my hometown. I haven't been there in a while... since August I believe. This will coincide with the news from our family that I can't really discuss but I am hoping for a good weekend and not one filled and taken over by tears and hurt and fear of unknown. I have lots to keep me busy when I am up there. I have a new baby to see, a new restaurant to check out and a lot of people to visit with. One thing that still bothers me when I go back to my hometown is that I looked forward to and treasured the little visits with my Nana. I loved to go up to her little house and just sit with her. She always had a way of making me feel at ease and forgetting all the other problems in the world, well, ok just in my world at least. It still pains me when I think of going back there and not being able to see her. I hope to at least get up to see her stone at the cemetery. I definitely need a visit up there to see Nana and Pop. Maybe even swing down to see Gram and Pop too. My grandparents were always and still seem to be great calming and comforts to me. I miss all of them terribly, but it was Nana--something about those Saturday afternoon visits with her where she was usually watching Lifetime movies--that made me feel better. My troubles would seem to go away. She made me feel good about myself!
Here is to this week with the hope of things going smoothly, weather cooperating, inklings of good news and driving safely! Cheers!
