Tuesday/Thursdays

Chelsea has no classes on Tuesdays or Thursdays this semester. She has been able to run home and visit, or me run there and visit. It is really nice:) What a wonderful blessing to have a grown daughter who brings me so much joy. I know she is not perfect:) But, she sure does know how to make her mama happy. Always proud, always thankful. She is thoughtful, a biggie for a mom who works for her family 24/7. Today we ran to Wal-Mart to get juice, meds, and some fast and easy food in case I should get sick and someone else has to feed my kiddos. As we got back to the van she said, "I've got it mom, you start the van." She was smiling. No 'woe is me I will sacrifice myself to help out', just thoughtful. I got it the van (it was freezing outside) and she loaded all the groceries and got it. Happy. No complaining. Chelsea is like that. She sees a need and she does it. She does not complain about who did it or fuss that she 'has' to clean up after someone. Happy. Gosh, I cannot tell you how much I miss that! I never ever worry about Chelsea and her life. Whatever she decides to do, it will be done well. Others will appreciate her and love her because she is a worker. A happy worker. Worth her weight in gold.
I miss her when I need a older sibling who is kind and thoughtful. I miss her intervening with the Little's and quietly working out their problems. I miss the way she can motivate others to work ...for the right reasons. Her happiness is contagious. I sure could use more contagious happiness around here!!
