Sometimes I sit back and wonder "where did the day go?" Time seems to fly by during the day (of course, not the last hour til daddy gets home, that seems like an eternity!) and just as quickly at night. I think ok the kids are down, I can work on Bible Study or clean up the house, but I'm tired too, and I want to sleep! I got very behind on the housework, paperwork, and Bible Study this week. It has been a hectic week and a half around here that's for sure! Did I mention that on top of all of our events, outings, and day to day life... MY WASHER AND DRYER broke?!!! So now I am behind on laundry too. Luckily with the help of my husband, while I was at a wedding shower, the house was put back in order, and my loving sister-in-law has helped with my laundry! Now to find the time to take a few loads to mom and dads too! Our new machines were supposed to be here yesterday, but they got delayed, not a day or two, but a WHOLE WEEK! uhhhh!!!
Anyways, I'm not one to rant in my posts, but I just needed a place to vent! My 7 month old (who has been sleeping through the night since she was 2 months old) has decided for 2 weeks now that she needs to get up every 2-3 hours in the middle of the night. Sometimes to nurse (if only for a minute, literally!) and sometimes to just cry for awhile til she falls back asleep in my arms. Pretty sure we are going to be getting our first few teeth soon. Poor Baby!! By the way, she shouldn't be hungry, she eats baby food at least 2 times a day! By the way, My mom was in the middle of that LAX airport mess which screwed up my Saturday as well. It meant a lot more driving around and passing kids back and forth!
So Monday night rolled around and OOPS Bible Study is NOT done for Tuesday morning! I know it's ok to not fill in every answer on every page, but that's NOT me. I AM A PERFECTIONIST!!! Then as I sat in church waiting for the speaker to start, I felt so guilty, I shouldn't be here participating if I don't have my work done!! But wouldn't you know it, she spoke to us about our HEART not our DUTY! And guess what?!?!! SHE HAD THE SAME KIND OF CRAZY WEEK THAT I DID! So as I look at my calender and realize I have a pretty simple week (obviously if I actually have time to blog), I am ready to get back into our routine. The one where God is the focus of my days, and I am doing my study to grow closer to Him not to look good during our group discussion. I am grateful for the busyness in our lives, it means we are loved by others and put into positions to lead others, but I am more grateful for weeks like this where I can slow down and focus on God. Thank you Betty Jo for pointing that out to me this week. I hope you too have a slower week! In the end, I survived our crazy weeks with a 2 year old and a 7 month old. Remember, IF I CAN DO IT, YOU CAN TOO!!!
