Here I am for another blog! I've blogged before but let it go when a lot of life kept happening. I love blogs! I read them and get ideas and laugh and love knowing about other people's lives. As open as I am, I should do this! Plus, I have way too many things to say for the likes of Facebook or Twitter.
Today is Monday. Mondays are the days I tend to worry about. Mondays don't bring many plans or activities. Madeleine and I love plans and activities. So I generally feel pressured to find something to do, as neither of us are very good at staying home. I read a blog of a Stay At Home Mom who said, "I love being a SAHM but I'm not good at the staying at home part!" Amen! But lately, it's really hit me how I am a working mom! Or at least a part-time working mom. I really love having my own thing to do. My world. My people. Then I come home ready to be a mommy again. It's funny how God gives us desires and hopes and dreams outside of the people he gives us, too.
This Easter was so weird. Madeleine was sick for a few days leading up to Sunday and she just wasn't feeling great on Sunday. So we went to church for the egg hunt and stayed long enough for me to hear Jack preach. Then we came home and she napped for a while, but not long enough. She's still feeling bad this morning. So we didn't get any family pictures or cute pictures, only a few in her dress with her sick eyes and snotty nose. I'm pretty bummed seeing everyone's super cute Easter pictures on FB and we are left with the memories of a really hard weekend. I'm not a good sick-kid mom. I'm learning just how impatient I am and how much of an agenda I really have. Praying that God will redeem this time, this weekend!
I just finished Ann Voskamp's "1000 Gifts" and it was so AMAZING. I read it during Lent and it was truly a life changing read.
