Only time

Monday night, I barely slept. We got up and got everything and everyone ready and Katie started crying. I clenched my teeth. I needed her to not start the day this way. It was already going to be hard enough. We loaded her in her carseat and luckily she remained happy the majority of the way to Winfield.

Kelton was thrilled to be back at daycare. I ran over a few last minute things with Debbie, gathered all my strength and walked out the door. Yes, she was crying when I left.

I was shaking when I got to work. Thankfully I was busy, which kept my mind busy also. A couple texts from Eric just to let me know he was as freaked as I was.

My last patient before lunch didn't show, so I left early and went to see how things were going. Kelton was laying down for his rest and Katie was sleeping also and had been for about 2 hrs. Debbie was all smiles, saying they'd had a great morning. She got Katie up, I nursed her, played with her and left her smiling in her swing when I went back to work.

The afternoon was easy and enjoyable. When I arrived to pick the kids up, Debbie snuggled Katie and joked, "Momma was telling stories about you. You're not a crier!"

The ride home was pleasant. The entire evening was pleasant. Today has been pleasant.

I'll continue my blogs on "Our Arsenal" because I still have more things to cover, but it's very obvious that the one and only thing that has truly been 100% effective is time.
