Monday was a really rough day at our house. All the kids were cranky and mama's patience wore thin many, many times throughout the day. I think the main reason for the crankiness was the busy weekend and not getting enough sleep. All three kids were up by 7:00 Monday morning...and they normally sleep til around 8 or 8:30. I think that day will go down in the books as my hardest day being a mother so far. I'm thankful for God's sufficient grace! I can't tell you the number of times I cried and prayed (out loud).
Praise the Lord, Tuesday was a much better day!
Jacob has so much going on this week - gone early in the morning and late at night.
It is so, so weird not being pregnant right now! This is the first Fall and Winter I haven't been pregnant in three years. As weird as it may sound, I kind of miss it! That being said, I can't imagine being pregnant with an almost 3 year old, almost 2 year old, and a 7 month old! Wow!
Asher started saying Da-Da on Monday. :)
Levi's favorite song right now is Amazing Grace. When I was rocking him before his nap yesterday, he asked for "Grace" and then after we would sing it he'd immediately say "again, again."
Lily is getting to be so grown up. She is such a big helper to me and she cheerfully does her chores each day. I really need to make her a chore chart so she can mark off the chores when she gets them done.
After taking our babysitter home yesterday, we stopped by and visited Memaw and my parent's. Lily and Levi were so excited to go to the barn and "help" Papaw feed the animals. My dad is so sweet to give them little jobs to do so they feel like they are really helping. :)
Today we have errands to run and we are hoping to stop by and visit Jacob's Pawpaw. He loves to see the kids.
The verse that has been going through my mind all week is: Psalm 34:1 - I will bless the Lord at all times: his praise shall continually be in my mouth. Oh how I pray that this would be true in me!
Happy Wednesday!
Oh man, your Monday sounds like my Thursday last week! I'm sorry it was rough. Thankfully we get fresh starts each day!
ReplyDeleteWow. I absolutely could not imagine being pregnant with three little ones! That would be crazy!
I'm so encouraged/blessed by your words and faithfulness! Thank you sharing.
We all definately have those Mondays! I'm glad your Tuesday was better.
ReplyDeleteI can't imagine being pregnant with those 3 ages! It was really tough being pregnant with my 4th...and mine were 6,4 and 2! :)
I have to admit this was very encouraging for me to read. We've had a rough couple of days this week, due to late bed times, busy weekend and getting up too early, and reading this was such a nice reminder that I'm not alone. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteI've had a bunch of those days recently too. Maybe it's the season? (-: Praying for you this week!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing this and the verse, love that! Praying the next couple days are a little easier for you all!
ReplyDeleteJust curious, what chores does Lily get to do? My daughter is about the same age, will be 3 in January and I have her help do stuff, but not specific "chores" yet. Would love to start with her this young and hopes that it would help later on.
ReplyDeleteWhat?! Asher is not old enough to speak yet!!! ;)
