  • Good morning.  I still have 2 babies sick.    They have horrible sounding coughs.  And little desire for food.  At least their moving around though.  And I slept like a LOG all night.  Kaylin woke up just before I went to bed (10:45)  I nursed her and she slept until almost 6.  I was in shock when I realized I'd essentially slept through the night.  It felt sooooo good.  Especially 'cause my back was spasaming and I was sure it was gonna keep me awake.  But whatever Rob did to it, it didn't.  I was so excited.  I have to admit I didn't even have the faith to pray for sleep last night.  Cause so often the answer is no.  I guess God rescued me in spite of myself. 


    I was gonna do laundry today at the laundromat, but do to my kids still being miserable I don't think its a good idea to take them out & about.  So I guess we're housebound again today.


    It actually ended up being an okay day.  The kids watched a fair amount of tv--but not over much.  And I got to snuggle with each of them several times.  Samuel even snuggled, which HE never does--guess he is sick


    Today I hope will be similar.  Except its BEAUTIFUL outside instead of pouring cats, dogs & elephants   So maybe I'll let them sneak out into the sun later if their up to it. 


    I had little patience for the net yesterday.  So enjoyed my kids instead.  I just kept surfing my boards, but not opening anything. I just wasn't that intrested.


    I just read Zephaniah, and a bit of Haggai.   And was amazed how important it was to God that his temple be rebuilt--and honor given to Him.  He said the people would not be blessed until they turned their focus back to him.  Its so hard to keep my focus there....it keeps wandering to the many things I need to do.  But God says if my focus, and my money is directed at him...the other things will be blessed....Food for thought.


    Father God, I'm tired this morning.  And would prefer to curl up on the couch and stay there.  I ask for the strength to do what needs to be done.  And the wisdom to know when to take care of myself.  I ask that my kids colds get better quickly and do NOT NOT NOT go into asthma.  And that Kaylin wouldn't get the cold.  I keep wanting to wean Lord, and yet she's the only healthy one here...and I know that's cause she nursed marathon style yesterday.  So I guess I'll keep trusting you in those regards.  Even if it hard.  .   I love you in Your sons name amen.
