What to do?

I sent Davram and Alannah to Calgary with my mom today. It's spring break and I thought the kids would love the adventure with gramma...and it would be awesome to have a few days for Andrew and I to have mostly kid free:) When they left this morning Elijah was asleep, which means I was all by myself. And the first thing I did was think "What should I do?" And oddly enough, I couldn't really think of something that I would love to do, other than play with the kids...but they aren't here. There are plenty of things around the house that NEED to be done, but nothing that I really wanted to do. And so I thought to myself "how odd". It is funny that when I actually have the time and ability to do something for myself, all I want is to be with my kids:) I know that they are going to have a really great time visiting everyone...they were really excited to go see their aunt and uncle...and to do something with gramma...and I know it will be good for Andrew and I to spend some time with eachother and I'm very thankful for my mom and her willingness to help us out, but I really want my kids to be home soon:) So, we'll see what I get accomplished over the next couple of days...I think Andrew is taking some time off so we can hang out together...maybe we will get some work done on the basement...maybe not, but we'll have a good time I'm sure:)
I also took my van into the shop today cause it has been making weird noises for a couple of months...we thought it was probably a loose belt, and so did the guy when we dropped it off. But when they called Andrew they told us that it wasn't nearly so simple:( Turns our we had an engine leak and a power steering leak...and the real kicker was that our warranty had run out 2 weeks ago. Thankfully they are going to cover the repairs out of good faith, because the problem has obviously existed for longer than 2 weeks. Andrew and I wonder if it is a lingering problem from my accident last summer that wasn't noticed by the body shop. But good news is that the van will be fixed by tomorrow and it will be covered by warranty...I am so grateful for this. I am also grateful for Amanda (B) for helping to see it from this perspective...it is such a wonderful blessing and a small miracle that is helping this to be done this way...what an amazing perspective on something that I was worried about. I am truly grateful to my Heavenly Father for helping my family with this...we have truly been blessed and we continue to be blessed everyday!
