Fast Days 18, 19---The laughter, and the not so much

B has lately discovered his interest in blizzards (the DQ treat, no the snow storms).  Every once in a while he will ask if he can have one.  Many times we will tell him yes, if we are going to be out.

Saturday morning, not long after I have finished the morning walking the dogs, B asks if we can go to "that place that sells blizzards."  I tell him that we can, but not right now.  We have a soccer game and some other things to take care of.  He says okay.

After the soccer game and the grocery shopping we stop by DQ.  B and J get blizzards and talk Q into trying one.  For the entire drive home, the boys (all three of them) tried to convince me to have a taste of the blizzards.  "It's not a fast if there isn't temptation," says my loving husband with a smile on his face.

I didn't give in, but it was funny and we all had a good time.

Sunday was day light savings, meaning that my day shifted by an hour.  Eating schedules take on a whole new meaning and sunset was an hour later than it had been.  It was difficult for my stomach to be okay with the fact that we had passed 6:45 on the clock and was waiting until 7:45 to eat.  However, that was not the "not so much" of the weekend.

N, J's brother-in-law, went back into the hospital.  And we are all in a holding pattern.  Waiting.  Hoping.

Waiting sucks.
