I think (hope) the babies are teething, thus resulting in the “not-themselves-ness” of last week. They did some better over the weekend (and some worse, at times). And they are both currently sleeping (yay for me!). But they are cute, healthy, generally non-fussy babies whom I love very, very much. And for that I’m so very thankful this morning.
The weekend was busy. And continuous. And I struggled to have the right attitude for most of it. I guess it’s just one of those seasons (a brief one, I hope) where the trying to live the truth I’m learning means slogging through a mud pit of my own selfishness, suddenly aware again of how utterly un-Christ-like I really am. *sigh* At least He’s the one leading me through the muck to the fruit he promised (John 15).
As for the weekend, we really did have some nice times.
- I got a haircut and a new phone which meant 3 hours of being outside the house without babies.
- My in-laws came out for a few hours on Saturday.
- Eric grilled dinner on Sunday (ie, I didn’t have to cook!).
- We had a picnic with the Mother of Twins club in Columbus on Sunday which was a good time.
And now it’s Monday again. I’m going to have to get out of the house this week more, even if it does mean the babies don’t nap as well. Last week was proof enough that staying home all day every day is not healthy for me!
Okay, sorry this post is so up-and-down. I guess that’s just where I am today. So off I go…happy Monday!
@BoureeMusique – Amen and amen! That is a truth I’m holding on to today…thanks for reminding me of it!
No apologies for being open and honest. Writing is good for helping us deal with those sorts of things. I’m glad you’re listening to God.
I know there are countless examples in the bible, but I was recently thinking about Moses and his poor public speaking skills. With God all things are possible.
I always always always schedule my haircuts for a time when Travis can stay home with James. I loooooove that hour all to myself in the beauty salon, feeling pampered. I’d go at least once a month if I could!
Thanks for the honesty about slogging through the mud! A great reminder that we need to fight through our low points to develop our characters in the image of Christ….
Sounds like a fun weekend overall!
