PTL for Weekends!

I am so glad it's the weekend, FINALLY! It has been a very long week. I mentioned earlier that my kids have been sick. Big J had bronchitis and he is finishing up his antibiotic - he went back to preschool this past Wednesday. My Little L is still hanging on to something quite nasty. It hasn't been horrible enough for me to run to the doctor's office, but let me just say that having a 22-month old with a sickness - where he can't tell me what is ailing him - and he just cries at the drop of a hat (ok, we don't have a hat to drop, but you know what I mean!) . . . has almost sent me to insanity-ville. I'm glad it's the weekend because I have my husband here. He works LONG hours, but the weekends are FAMILY time. Even when he comes home in the evenings during the week, he is so tired. Bless his heart, he helps me out, but he's tired, tired, tired from talking his heart out to people all day long. I'm just thankful for the weekend where he can relax and both of us can concentrate on what each other needs . . . and the KIDS!

And to recap the envy topic that I mentioned: It's still a little bit of a struggle. I think that just being aware that it is a struggle helps me to realize that I need to let it go! It also helps me to realize I should emphasize the blessings in my life - kind of like a "no brainer" really. I know we always should do this, but I really don't do it enough.

And I really don't pray enough. I really don't have enough FAITH in my life. I ask God for lots of things . . . but I leave lots of room for doubt.

I really should not start paragraphs with "and". haha! I apologize! :-)

Something positive this morning: I am the first one awake, and I've enjoyed some major quiet time and 2 cups of coffee . . . and it looks like I get to take a shower too without interruption. That is awesome! It looks like it will be a great day ;-)
