I have put in another day at work, come home and helped my dearly beloved work on his website for a couple of hours, cooked dinner, talked to a few family members on the phone, and gotten in the tub to soak. It is during those pleasant minutes, (sometimes up to an hour), that I do my best thinking. Different days hold different tub experiences. Some days I go there to clean the toxins out of my system with a good cry. I always feel better after a good hard cry. My oldest brother Sandy once told me that I was flushing some of the toxins from my system, when you have a good cry. That is why you are so tired and feel so much better after a good heart wrenching cry. Other days I get in the warm sudsy water and read. Those are usually the hour long soaks. I love the peace and quite and just the luxury of being able to be in there that long and not be bothered. That is ANOTHER pleasure you get once you have raised your kids and they are gone. Then other days, I just sit in the water and think, as was today.
We are under winter watch and are getting more snow today and tonight. I had looked out to see how much had fallen since I got home, and decided a nice hot bath was the thing I needed. SO I filled up that tub with hot water and nice clean smelly stuff and hopped in with my Readers Digest. I did have intentions of reading, but once in there I just got to thinking about things. My daughter and her family are getting transfered back to Texas, and she is not too happy about leaving the beautiful part of Florida where they have been residing. I thought about how bad I had wanted to go see thier home there, and how now I wouldn't be able to. I thought of my little grandbaby Ethan, and how much I am missing out on his little transitions from baby to boy. I thought about how I needed to post a picture of the little crapper on here so all of you could see how darned cute he really is. So here he is. NOW isnt he cuter than cute??
Well I know that whatever turns thier lives take, Devin will take good care of them for me. Even though I sometimes think he is crazy, I do love him. I know that he will do what is in the best interest for them and I know he will provide for them. Thank you my dear Devin. And love and happiness to you all.
