How Many Days Until Friday?

I have to say that last weekend was extremely long. It wasn't any one thing that made it that way. It was the culmination of many little things. As soon as I post this I'm headed to bed. My sleep has been erratic at best over the last couple weeks and didn't get any better this weekend. To many thoughts, to little time.

Elora was really a challenge. She and Rowen could hardly be in the same room with each other without arguing over something. I will say that at least half the time Rowen is the instigator. Even when that happened, Elora certainly knows how to take the argument to the next level. After having butted heads with Rowen and then butting heads with me, Elora came in, after she had been in bed for an hour, and said that she didn't feel well and the she wanted her mother. We talked about Christa for awhile then she went back to bed and went right to sleep.

From other things that have been said by the kids over the last week, I think that the realization that Christa is not coming home is starting to sink in and they are all starting to talk about her each in their own way. I think this is good.

That is all my news. I hope all is well with you. Say a prayer for Virginia Tech.

Peace and Good Memories,
Marty

I'm glad that the kids are missing and talking about Christa. This is healthy, and I know that you will be able to deal with it in a way that lets them know that you all miss Christa, but that you are there and love them very much. And that they have family and friends that also love them very much. Mom
