Bed

I have done a lot the last two days. Not a lot for before, but a lot for who I am now. Field trip, a doctor visit with bad news for Gabe, and dinner with friends. And we got the BIG hospital bill in the mail yesterday. I went to physical therapy yesterday and talked to her about my pain. She reminded me that the field trip was like a 5K for me. My feet and legs are killing me. I am paying for the last two days.

I have hard phone calls to make, dishes to wash, and clothes to fold. I have kids to wake up and breakfast to make. And I just want to stay in bed.

There was a moment when Naomi was running around at Science City. She ran up to me and hugged me and told me she was so glad I was there. All kids want is for us to just show up. Be present. The rest will fall into place.

So I am going to get out of bed.
