...that I woke up this morning to the sound of blaring Veggie Tales kid's music, fighting kids, and a crying baby. Caleb left for work early and I didn't wake up before the kids this time. I like our system of having the kid radio go off at their 7am wake time but today I wished against it. I rolled out of bed, half asleep and half dressed. When the kids saw me, the baby cried more, the toddler boy said "help please mom, help please mom, help please mom" (while unfolding his clothes in search of his dinosaur shirt), and the girls were fighting over who owned more dresses. After calming the storm (all while trying to keep my eyes open) I threw on the first pair of sweatpants and shirt that I could reach before heading to the kitchen to make breakfast. "Ahhh!" Then Caleb appreared out of nowhere! "What a Christmas miracle!" were the first words out of my mouth. "You go take a shower" were the first words out of his. It's pretty cool how grace shows up when you need it.
...that we're moving. Yes, my leader has accepted a promotion in Fredricksburg, VA. He starts next month. He will be commuting the 1.25 hr distance for awhile until we sell the house.
...that true friends offer to be your wet nurse when you have a nursing crises. I had an injury that later caused an infection that caused an ER visit that caused me not nursing on a side that caused a hungry baby and less production. I didn't even ask. My friend offered to pump for me while I healed. She has three little kids of her own on top of that. I cried on the way to her house to pick up milk as I thought about the gift of friendship. I am so blessed.
...that I'm trying to dream again. It's been hard for the past few weeks. The activities of today make it hard to hope and dream about what's to come. But I'm starting to again and it's fun.
...that chocolate mint, dark coffee, and brie cheese are the best. That's all for now...
