3. Setting the table.
4. Folding the clean clothes that are sitting in the dryer right now.
Instead, I am blogging quickly before the day gets away from me. Ernie, Ernie, Ernie, and Nigel (yes, the 3 separate Ernies' is correct) are over at the gravel pit shooting up cans and whatnot. Maytha is at the Post Office with Emmaline and I am listening to Max's kid show in an otherwise quiet house.
This visit is a good one and has gotten me thinking about families. Some thoughts on families:
- I think that adult family relationships can be complex, difficult things to figure out. Everyone has their feelings hurt about something.
- I think that the important thing is to try to focus on loving your family, even if liking them is difficult.
- I am grateful to have a mother-in-law that treats me like a daughter, not like an interloper in the family.
- I am scared to think that someday I will have 3 daughters-in-law and what if they don't like me?
- I like that the whole point of the Plan of Salvation is eternal families.
I also like that Uncle Larry once said that in heaven, he's pretty sure there will be a lot of therapy to help us process everything that happened in this life. What a nice thought:)
