LIFE CAN CHANGE IN AN INSTANT. Just like that, it's different. Last night at 10:50, we got a phone call from our daughter in a panic asking us to come to their house to stay with our youngest grandson as he slept because their 20 year old son was hit by a car and was on his way to the Topeka Hospital.
As my Husband spoke on the phone, my legs grew weak. We were watching the movie, THE MAJESTIC starring Jim Carrey at the time.
We hurried over to her HOME to babysit. Not having all the details we waited to hear back from her. Grandson W would be having surgery. I started praying immediately. We slept on the sofas. Daughter texted her Daddy with some news. Morning came and Lil Dude woke to us being there instead of his Mom and Dad.
Without going into a lot of details with a 4 year old, I simply told him that his brother was ill and his Mom and Dad went to help him. They'd be back later in the day. This was enough info to quiet his curiosity. He had preschool this morning so after breakfast and getting him groomed, we played before taking him to school.
We went HOME and took a morning nap. I feel exhausted and probably will take another nap in the afternoon. I asked Hubby if he'd go get us a bite to eat as I am exhausted. He took off to get us spaghetti from Gambino's.
My plans for the day changed drastically. This happens from tine to time and being flexible has to be activated.
Think we'll pick up our Grandson from school and entertain him until evening falls then take him HOME. His folks would have some quiet time to rest up. They were up all night while their son was in surgery. I know it's been a long day for them.
As spurts of energy surge through me, I work at the organizing of our HOME. Moving slow today. Rest awhile, move ahead doing something pertaining to making our HOME more like a HOME and rest again. Repeat. Repeat. Repeat. Not getting to where I need to be very fast, but hey.
