This week isn’t quite as busy as last, but I am still on a climb up hill as I prepare for what’s around the corner. My sister Becky will be 40 tomorrow and her husband Bobby and I have been planning a party for her. He secured a couple rooms at the church including the playground so people can bring their kids and I’ve been sending invitations and making lists and phone calls. We seriously aren’t planning anything too elaborate, but not being a great planner, I have to stay on my toes at all times.
I am also participating in LaDonna’s consignment sale, which is a first for me. I am again…trying to keep it simple but few things are really simple when you have three children. This is what I’m learning of late. Not even having three kids but, having three kids in which two are in diapers and one is nursing. I think that’s the kicker. Soon it will be one potty training and one nursing and as I’ve experienced that before, I know very well how stressful it is. I’m just going to shut myself in the house during that time and maybe I can order groceries online or something.
In all of that, things are going well. I don’t have a perfectly clean house, and my children wear the same clothes three days in a row sometimes, but we’re all getting along without wearing ourselves out and it makes me happy.
Little Aron has chapped cheeks from this cold weather and his constant drool. He also has a runny nose and a cough right now that must go soon. I don’t like it when he feels crummy. He does not have a fever, so that is good. I am trying to keep him sleeping as much as possible and hopefully it will all pass quickly.
Oh…I was planning to post pictures of my hair which in all honesty isn’t much different. I took pictures with my phone and then realized that the blue tooth software was never replaced on my computer so right now I can’t post them. Like I said, it’s really not even noticeably different so you aren’t missing anything. It’s just a little shorter.
One thing that I have learned is that a “simple” party is never really simple. Oh, it sounds simple, but when you multiply everything by the quantity of invited guests, it’s overwhelming. Even if you’re just making phone calls!
Courage, friend!
You always have your hands full, but isn’t that the joy of life. At the end of life do you want to reflect back on all of the relaxing you did, or all that you accomplished in your time here? There will be time for relaxing when you’re dead 🙂 Now, it’s time to live and you do it so well!
Ooh, if you order groceries online let me know how it goes…
Take a deep breath and put one foot in front of the other. My pastor says that you can do everyting- just not all at the same time. Good advice.
