The kids and I hover around Jeff most of the time. One of us is with him at all times. This is something that has never been verbally planned but it's a silent code that we all understand. Jeff is ours and we are very protective. And we don't want him to be alone. So...... The kids and I left him yesterday and we are all fine today. It was very hard for us but I think it was actually a good thing. The kids and I went to a lamb jackpot show in Lubbock. We debated for days and finally dove in and did it. And Jeff was fine without us. Luckily he's got super friends that came by so he wasn't alone. It was good for all of us. We needed it more than I realized. The kids and I needed a day like that. We had to work hard and work together. It was hotter than the surface of hell but we did it. We came home exhausted but the kids couldn't stop talking as they told Jeff all about our day. We needed that distraction. I'm glad we did it. The kids didn't do well during the first show but rallied in the second show and did okay.
The kids are still asleep this morning but Jeff is out and about feeding cattle. Since my list of things to do is bigger than I am - I've decided to get on the computer and sip coffee. There's so much less stress doing that.
