I know it's been a while since I've slogged through a blogg. Just thought I would post my thoughts about this last week spending time here with Tev and trying to pitch in with this whole Enok thing. What a character! I have enjoyed my stay here as always and glad I could be of some help to Tev while she's been so diligently taking care of Enok and trying to keep tabs of the goings on at home. I got to witness a miracle on Monday with Malik......he was already up and dressed for school before I even got up to get them up. THEN he even got his own breakfast, put his shoes on with out being told (I just had to tie them), brushed his teeth with only being told once Ummmmm....oh and sang pretty much all the way to school. Don't get me wrong he generally does pretty good but that day was exceptional. Alas it was a one day thing but hey it was great!
I'm a big girl now cuz I drove into the heart of the city which I don't do very well, makes me very nervous, but you know us moms, we suck it up and do what ever needs to be done for our children and yes grandchildren. I'm still such a country girl (you know....turn at the big pine tree and broken down truck kind of directions).
I stayed the night on Tuesday night so Tev could have a break. I don't know how she did it all those nights and days....very tedious trying to keep an active two entertained with limited resources, thank goodness he's so stinkin' cute and loveable. He basically melted the hearts of all the nurses there and Tev and I are like OH BROTHER! I was thinking, stop....... you're embarrasing yourselves you silly nurses, but I guess it was to his advantage cuz he could be a hand full.
I see better now the wisdom of having kids while young, as I've gotten older I get worn out a bit quicker but being reminded of the 'joys' of motherhood has been good too. Especially when the kids are so good like Jarek, Malik and yes even Enie. I always look forward to spending time with the fam regardless of the situation every moment is precious. I apologize if I wasn't too informative, not too good about 'writing' like my daughters but there you go.

Momsie, you are a champ! I can never express enough just how much I appreciated the fact that you came down and spent a week with us while Enok was cooped up in the hospital. I felt far less stressed knowing you were watching the kids and taking care of things at home.
And I absolutely appreciate that you stayed over night at the hospital so I could play vball. It was one of my best nights in a long time and I had so many great plays!
You are the best! I love you mom.
aww mom. You are gloriously helpful. I love that you've always been available to be there for us. I'm sure if you had been in Korea you would have helped me when my finger got cut. Your consistent presence in the important moments in our lives has been paramount in shaping who we are and how we move about in the world. I would be less if not for you. Thanks!! Love ya:-)
Thanks Tev and Risa for your comments you two always seem to make me feel like my efforts have not been in vain. I thank the Lord everyday to see fit that I had two girls that are as wonderful as you two. My apologizes to the boys if they feel slighted, they have their moments but are different than the girls.
Bless you all! MOM
p.s. Risa did you get the "singing in the rain" moment? didn't do it on purpose but noticed it when I re-read this.
