We slept all night. Although I was up around four Owen didn’t get up until after five so that was our victory. I didn’t tell him last night what our day held, hoping that keeping the secret would help him sleep last night. When he came to me my goal was still keeping him calm until we were on our way to his grandma’s house.
I had an appointment to get my hip and knee shots for my arthritis. This appointment was one that I was supposed to have months ago but it kept getting rescheduled for one reason or another so I was determined to get there even though it was an icebox out there. Over the last few days, I had slowly been chipping away at my car. I was trying to be extremely careful because I don’t have a stealth walking mode and that doesn’t mix well with ice. A garage is a must-have when we move.
I finally told Owen that we were going and that he was staying with his grandma. He was beyond thrilled. I told him that today was going to be his grandma's day instead of Saturday because we were getting more snow and I did not know if we would be able to get there tomorrow. It’s hard to explain to him when I have no clue how much snow will be coming and how it could keep him from going to school even on Monday.
After my appointment I let Owen stay for a few more hours. Right when we got home a guy was walking by and he stopped to make sure we got out of the car and up to the house because of all the ice. I thought it was so nice of him. I explained I had to get Owen out of the car and that he didn’t always understand to be careful around the ice. He was very kind and I appreciated it so much.
The night was filled with Owen asking about the days ahead especially when he would be going back to school. I pray they get to go on Monday. I can’t say for sure but I told him he would be going anyway. We will face that day when we come to it. He misses everything about his routine and friends. I’m praying we don’t get much snow and it is warm enough to get us out of the frozen tundra. He is handling it better than ever before but it is still hard. I’m thankful he fell asleep quickly and he was not expecting to go to his grandma’s tomorrow. I hope that helps him sleep.
Today was emotional for me, dreaming of people who left my heart way too soon, but Owen made me smile and laugh in between the moments he needed reassurance. Smile even though your heart may be breaking. It truly will help you through those moments of sadness. Focus on the good stuff. Smiles to all and donut daze!
