Emma woke me up in the morning like usual. But I was surprised when she told me that Julia had thrown up in the night. I felt bad thinking that Julia had gone to school and basketball practice the day before. We thought she was better. Apparently not. So we left her up in bed and went about with our morning.
I helped Emma finish getting ready and sent her out with a kiss. Then I focused on the boys, getting them to school on time and hurrying back home. I hustled around picking up the kitchen and family room. Then Lance and I jumped in the shower to get ready for our lunch date with Sunee. While I was getting ready, Mom called and asked to borrow something. I told her I would drop it off on my way to meet Sunee. Once we were all dressed and ready to go, Lance and I headed to the car and started on our way into town. Halfway there, I felt my Apple watch buzz with a text message. At quick glance, I could see it was from Julia.
Julia!!
I hadn't thought about her since Emma told me Julia was staying in bed! I had completely forgotten she was home! It was pretty funny when I called her. I decided I was glad she hadn't come down and scared me to death while I was showering.
Lunch with Sunee was wonderful. I miss our long, daily talks. I know school has been stressful for her lately, but that's all I know. I used to know every detail of her life! We ate yummy sandwiches from Great Harvest -- I love bread!-- and talked as fast as we could. All too soon, it was time to take her back to the school. We decided we need to make that a more regular occurrence. I'll be looking forward to it!
Lance and I came home to check on Julia. Thank goodness she is old enough to be alone since I clearly can't keep track of my children. The very next day, I accidentally left Owen home. Thankfully Greg was still home and he could call me and inform me that I FORGOT ONE OF MY CHILDREN. Wow. I hope we all survive this life!
