Missing my Familia

This week, I am with my Mom.  She is having eye surgery , so I'm her chauffeur  and helper.    I love my Mom.  She's always been there for me, and I just am so blessed that God gave me a wonderful, beautiful, sweet, caring, nurturing, and praying Mom.

I am, however, missing my husband and kids.  It's nice to be able to stay in touch in many ways (cell phones, computer)....and WE ARE keeping in touch.  I enjoyed having this conversation with Jared:

Jared:  "Mom, so we are going to get you this weekend?"
Me:  "Yes, Honey."
Jared:  "But, we missed church on Sunday.  Is Pastor mad?"
Me:  "No, he is not mad."
Jared:  "But, what if he finds out that we are going to miss 2 Sundays? Will he be mad then?"
Me:  "It's okay, honey.  I told Pastor we were going to be out."

Later that morning, while waiting for his school bus:
Jared:  "Mom, my bus is taking too long to get here.  What if it doesn't come?"
Me:  "Wait a few minutes and then call me again, and let me know if it got there."
-------5 MINUTES LATER------

Jared:  "Mom, a bus came, but it's a substitute bus.  The bus number is different.  Is that okay?  I hope so, because I"m on the bus already."
Me:  "It's okay, honey."
