I did my best to rest like I was told all weekend. But with three kids, that isn't always possible. Friday I did take the boys to Target to spend the last of their birthday and Christmas money. Because their birthdays are one week and two weeks before Christmas, I ration out the cash and gift cards since they get so much at once. And it was the last day of their time off from school because of their tonsillectomies, so they had cabin fever. My best friend, who lives in Stillwater, called and we talked for over an hour. Saturday we ventured to the grocery store out of necessity. I had let my supplies dwindle before we went to Houston. My friend, who is a counselor, called and we talked a long time. Sunday was much the same, lying on the sofa or watching TV in my bed.
