Last Thursday I received an email that literally made me weep. It read ..., "Kelly, what are the Johnson's doing tonight? I thought I might come over and sit in a corner with DJ for a while...no need for you to entertain or even talk to me.. Let me know if you're available or if another night would be good. Esther" Now, some may wonder why that would make me weep...but anyone with a child is sure to understand... I'm exhausted and here someone was offering me an hour or two of relaxation in my own home - at no cost, with no need to "visit". In fact, in true Esther fashion - she came bearing food! Superwoman I am not. Barry is working nights, I work from home (8-10 hour days) or am in the office...with a new and very demanding role as Deputy Program Manager for Operations for a large government client; plus managing my role as new mom and fairly new wife - simply put, it's not easy. But on last Thursday, I cleared some clutter that I've been "getting to" for the last 3 weeks, folded some laundry and took a long, leisurely soak. When I came out of the tub and down the stairs, Esther and DJ were completely relaxed...
And the best thing is...Esther says she'll be back this week! She's doing lots of weekend traveling the next several weeks so instead of trying to visit DJ on the weekend, she's visiting in the week - perfect for me since it's in the week that I get most worn out....
