Day one without David here down! Ok, he WAS here this morning to help out, and I am so so grateful for that! It was a busy Monday morning getting Joel ready for school, Connor off to speech and back, and then dropping David off at a car repair shop to get his car.....not such a happy memory paying that repair bill lol.
After all of that, Connor and I went to the Santa Ana Zoo. There is this mommy group I recently joined and, while I have a lot of friends in this group, I never seem to see any of them at these designated mommy days lol. This is my third event I have gone to and no one but Connor and I have been there. Well, we will see if anyone is at the next one on Friday...hoping to meet some other moms! Connor and I had a lot of fun looking at all of the animals. He really liked watching the little monkeys and I enjoyed looking at the Bald Eagle. We took a train ride around the farm animal area and then headed out for lunch. We got to eat lunch down in Tustin at one of our favorite restaurants, Cafe Rio, and then it was back home to get Joel and for Connor to take a nap.
It was a fun but busy afternoon! After Connor's nap, my neighbor and friend from church kindly accepted my plea for help and watched my kids so I could go to work...so thankful to have her around but she is moving across town in two weeks and then I will be all alone on this side of town again :-(
After work, I had a few minutes at home before the boys arrived...so nice to enjoy the quite 2-3 minutes! I got dinner ready and when they came in the house, we all sat down and ate!
I am so happy I made it through my first night without David! I am hoping tomorrow will go just as well and that I can keep it up. The only thing I truly can't do without him here is put the trash in our dumpsters, but I am so thankful I have wonderful neighbors and people from church I can call for help on that....oh how I hope to be able to help someone else someday as much as people have helped ME! Have a good night all....off to watch the Bachelorette!
