Cause & Effect

Struggling. So often I want to blog but the words won't come. I don't consider myself much of a writer so having a block makes it even harder. So much I want to say but I can't get it out. But today I'll try.

My little sister (by little I mean 23 years old) just passed through town for a visit. It was so much fun and when she pulled out of the driveway this morning it was so hard to let her go (why must my siblings live so far away?). I kept coming up with reasons to delay the leave ("don't you want a bagel, maybe a pbj") taking advantage of any distraction I could find to stall her. But alas, she had to depart for her next destination (siblings is CO). And the day has been Full of Funk. It doesn't help that the past 2 days were full of heavy, deep movies that don't leave your mind (Away From Her, Love Story, Candy, Imaginary Heroes & Crash). It's just one of those days. Nathan is traveling again and whenever he is away he's missed terribly by myself and his little guys. The boys were extra cranky today and my heart felt heavy (not for myself - but imaginary characters from movies, water for Africa and some of my family).

But tomorrow is another day. One that will hopefully start with a sun that is shining and 3 boys that are smiling.
