I'll leave you with this verse that the Lord has again impressed upon me. I NEED to be meditating on it, taking comfort, drawing strength and relying on Him fully. That HE may be glorified!
To console those who mourn in Zion,
To give them beauty for ashes,
The oil of joy for mourning,
The garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness;
That they may be called trees of righteousness,
The planting of the LORD, that He may be glorified.”
Isaiah 61:3

Wonderful verse.
Not liking the creature from the attic. Just the photo is hard to handle.
Hey! there's nothing wrong with being "one of those mom's" ;)
I'm so glad you had movers!
I love that verse SO much!
Umm yeah, the creature. There were 4. :) Thankfully they are all dead, and we haven't heard any of their family members since. It was a nice parting gift from the seller.
I have come to grips with the scheduled mom thing. It has brought so much peace and joy to our home, I can't believe it. And it wasn't like we weren't following a pretty strict routine before, it just needed to be taken up a notch.
The movers were wonderful! Because of changes in the way trucks are rented here, it ended up being $75 more than doing the whole thing ourselves. It took them 4 hrs and it would have taken us at least 8-10.
Oh! I just assumed you were talking about the "homeschool mom". =)
I need to take my schedule up about 10 notches here!
Are you feeling ok? Will you be finding out the baby's sex soon?
ha! Nope, still fighting the "homeschool mom" one pretty hard. I don't like that one one at all!
I am doing well for me. :) It isn't a cakewalk, but it could be and has been much worse. We are very thankful.
I find out today when my sono will be, but we've decided to not find out the gender this time around. ;) We'll see if I can stay strong. ha!
That, my friend, is a massive rat. Ick!
And I love your picture of the clouds. :-)
Tell me about it Sara! That was the Adi sized one. ;) Thankfully the ones we caught after that one were MUCH smaller. And we haven't heard a thing since the four. ;)
