Day Eight

We have been in Houston for 8 days now. Yesterday we washed and folded a mountain of laundry. The girls added another load by going in and out of the pool several times. Each trip into the water meant another towel and different clothes. They were so tired last night that Emily ASKED for her allergy medicine so she could go to bed.
We went to Lake Charles Sunday and didn't have car trouble so that was a major plus. I enjoyed seeing the kids that have been a part of my life for so many years. Gwynyth, Makayla and Emily got to see their cousins and had a good time. Unfortunately, there has never been a Watson gathering that hasn't ended with hurt feelings. Those who should be closest to us have the power to hurt us the most. Shana was the one hurt by narrow closed minds and stupidity. As so often happens, one has the right to their own opinion as long as it aligns with everyone else.
And speaking of......I just got off the phone with my sister and breathed wrong. I know it's something I do. I will be going along, minding my own business and realize that I am not taking full breaths.....so I do; take a deep breath. I don't mean anything by it. Since that phone call I have noticed that I took a full breath in the car,on the stairs, in the grocery store and no one called me on it or accused me of having a hidden meaning behind it.
