4/20/13: This is how I found them this morning, sitting on Silas' bed reading books to each other.
They played with bubbles on the back deck again today.
I am totally emotionally exhausted. I don't really want to talk to anyone outside of Derek and the kids. I am numb. I fell asleep last night with Silas' favorite stuffed animal, 'nudie bird', after he left it in our bed when we read books. I laid down while the kids napped today and actually fell asleep for an hour, again clutching onto nudie bird.
Cooking is how I deal with stress. On Monday after the bombings I made S&Z a feast of indian-spiced basmati rice and curried chickpeas and cauliflower. I cooked again tonight, this time for healing. We had a comfort meal of homemade Ramen Noodle Soup. Unfortunately Derek is working the entire weekend so it was just me and the kids.
I'm still processing the events of this week. I suspect I will be for awhile...
