Me, that is.<\/p>\n
The babies are still slogging through colds\/croup. Alex does pretty well when he’s upright and on medication. Sleeping is another story, of course. Eric has a slightly stuffy nose, but she’s mostly “suffering” from lack of equal attention from her momma. Yesterday afternoon was not fun.<\/p>\n
In any case, I hit a wall last night. After days of little to no help (Eric had to travel for work this week) and adding sickness on top of it, I couldn’t go anymore. I was tired and had been pushing all my crap down because I just had to get through. I really, really wanted to be angry and frustrated. And since the babies’ issues aren’t really their fault, Eric was starting to be my target.<\/p>\n
So instead of cleaning my kitchen and tidying up, I went to bed and read a book. About 45 minutes later, I remembered to pray about my frustrations, and well, God reminded me to be thankful, even in my circumstances. Shortly thereafter, I was able to let go of my desire to be angry at someone. I slept pretty well, even with Alex’s noises through the night. And Eric stayed home from work this morning so I could go to the Moms’ group at my church where we watched a video by Anita Renfroe (http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/results?search_query=anita+renfroe&search_type=&aq=f<\/a>). Very funny. <\/p>\n By the time I got home, I was better. And that was compounded by the fact that Eric had cleaned the kitchen for me. He’s so great. <\/p>\n And so, on the Friday of a VERY long week, I can honestly say that I’m better today. Thanks for listening.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Me, that is.
