Fatigue seems to always be present. Little Man is getting more and more mobile and is developing a sense of purpose in life...sole mission is to terrorize Big Sis, who does not handle this well. With many episodes of tears a day from 'pinches' or 'pulls'... the grips of Little Man abound. [for those who have had much exposure to Little Man, he truly can be viscous - he doesn't yet understand the effects of those little pinchers and innocent nibbles].
Conversations were just taking place how Little Man and Big Sis have been healthy for the last few weeks! Praise God! Well... what would you know, but Little Man has come down with a cough and it has really affected his sleep the last few nights. With many an episode of awake-fullness in the middle of the night, the Preacher has had to tend to him - for when I stand up quickly to do so, I get nauseous. And with days like today with rain pattering on the roof and the damp and dreariness outside...all of our eyelids are on the verge of falling down.
Still in pajamas and it is going on 11am. Yikes. It is just one of those days. Despite all of this, we manage to still get some things accomplished...the homemade laundry detergent is complete, dishes done, and the laundry that rises a mile up the shoot is slowly creeping down.
I am taking on the challenge to jump start my 1000 gifts list by doing 7 gifts a day from now till Easter. That will add 147 gifts to my list that is currently at 65:). I think that's pretty good. If anyone is interested... there's a free little printable booklet that can help you get started too. Here's the link to the "7 Gifts {good & perfect}" booklet.#66: A long, much needed restful nap from Little Man.
#67: the tenderness and concern of Big Sis when I'm not feeling well.
#68: Clean counters
#69: Good friends and hospitality
#70: A selfless giving family that lives close
#71: Kids to bed early
#72: A loving, helpful husband that folds laundry:)
