We have to save these!

On Saturday night, I drug myself out of bed to hang out with the kids while David went to pick up his new-old car.  We were sitting on the couch and I was letting them eat cookies on the couch....no, they are not allowed to have food in the living room since we got new carpet but my mind was not really in the moment and I wasn't paying attention.  They weren't getting hurt and all the crumbs were on the couch and I didn't have to think...something my mind hasn't been good at lately.  Anyway, I look over and they have like 30 or 40 cookies on the couch and Andrew is holding all the little paper cups they came in (early christmas cookies from our neighbors).  Anyway, I had just crumpled one up and he said, "No, mommy!  We have to save these b/c Bill said when they are all gone he will fill them up and give us more!  So cute!  Bill did say he would fill the tin again when they were all gone but I guess Andrew thought he meant the little paper cups so we are saving them and will take them to Bill when the cookies are gone! 

As far as me, things really haven't changed.  Still waiting for insurance and the doctor.  I am definitely doing better this week. Just ready for things to move forward.  David has been really good about dealing with the house, laundry, and cooking.  The only thing he has asked from me is to pick out the kids clothes....he has a really hard time, not sure how he gets dressed every morning.  This week, some wonderful ladies that I work with at church are bringing us dinners.  So thoughtful so I can focus on feeling better and not worry about what I am going to make for dinner.  We are very blessed to have such wonderful people that are ready to just jump in and help us out.  I know how hard it is to fix a meal for your own family, let alone for someone else.  I have done it many times but now I truly know how great it is for the family that needs it.  I may never skip the opportunity to prepare a meal for a family again.  Usually I just don't live very close or don't have time to deliver but from now on that will be my priority b/c they are driving out of their way to deliver to me.  I hope everyone is having a great week.  I haven't really been too concerned about anything outside of my house for the last week but I feel like I am on my way to getting out of the house and feeling like being around people again.
