Kansas at it's worst!
I guess the good news is that the boys got to stay home from school and enjoy a snow day with Mom. But it is almost 4pm and it is only 7 degrees out and the windchill is -14 degrees. We've only had 3 inches of snow, but being in the rural areas, the drifts are huge!!! I'm so glad we got to stay in today.
I decided to move my office from the little bedroom into our sunroom at the back of the house. The boys helped me move the desk, chair, file cabinets and computer. It didn't take us very long, but I found myself just breaking down as we did it. Jeff use to come out of our room and come into my office to stand behind my chair and see what I was doing. I guess I felt that I had disrupted what memory I had of him doing that. And the tears just came in a rush. Of course it didn't take long for me to gather my composure and get back to work.
I wonder, and have asked only one of you, how long did you wait until you began changing things in your home? The day after Jeff died, I found myself removing his clothes from his large closet, moving them into the guest room closet and moving mine from the little bedroom closet to Jeff's. After I had done it, I wondered what someone would have thought if they had come in and seen me changing things so soon? But I knew that I had to change SOMETHING in our room. Things couldn't stay the same or I wouldn't be able to sleep in the bed with out him. So, I am just wondering how long it took you?
I am going to get back to work. I hope you are all keeping warm and safe today. And I hope that you are all having a good day.
