Kids are awesome, but...

So as everyone who reads this probably already knows, last Tuesday Shawn had a heart attack. Thank God he's okay; he's back home and recovering well. But of course this blog is not about him, for the most part.

It was hard on the kids. Eliana in particular. Bracha has always been very attached to me but I was home with them every night and most of the morning every day so we did get to spend plenty of time together. But Eli is a daddy's girl. In the absence of her father she found the nearest penis and attached herself to my father, who was great with her. Now that Shawn is home, and my in-laws have flown in and are staying with us, it's still a little confusing for her. But we came home tonight (till now "home" was with my parents) and both kids, despite coming home later and being tired, seemed thrilled to be back among their toys and in familiar surroundings. I think being here will make things much easier. Plus it's great for me to be able to sleep with my husband in our own bed. A couple of friends came by on Thursday to help me clean up a bit and as I was making the bed I broke down a little, thinking how close I came to having to sleep alone forever.
