God's Grace is Sufficient: Day 7

Well, I'm feeling the affects from being a full-time stay-at-home single mom. I'm definitely needing some "me" time or just peace and quiet w/no responsibilities. We've done fast food twice today and I'm totally okay with that! :) I realize that if my kiddos are pooping and they are eating gummy vitamins... they'll survive the next three days with less than stellar quality food.

Edmund's teething again and starting to form some words. It's so stinking cute!!! The words that is, not the teething.

Evie's 5 days with going on the potty. She is so proud of herself as well am I. My little girl is getting so big.

Christian will be home in 3 days!! Praise the Lord!!!! Come home baby!!! That's all I have to say about that!

God's Grace is Sufficient: Day 4 "I miss my IT guy!'

Since hubby has been gone we've lost the Internet, which means we lost the phone. Also, we woke up this morning to no heat!

I've spent about three hours trying to get the Internet going. Phone works and one laptop, but the wireless is still down. Looks like we have a bad router.

I'm currently waiting for the heating guy to call me back so we can set up an appointment for this afternoon. I've spent about 90 minutes on the furnace.

This is a good way for me to feel confident again about technical and mechanical stuff. I've really relied on Christian because he's so good at this stuff.

God's Grace is Sufficient: Day3

Doing well today. We had a playdate with two other moms and their kiddos. It was fun to have some people over, even though my house is sooooo dirty. Oh well, fun before house cleaning is my motto.

Evie is starting to miss daddy. She keeps talking about the present he's suppose to bring her when he gets back. She has also decided that she is a pee-on-the-potty girl! Yahoo! I can't believe how easy it is when they just decide to do it on their own.

Edmund is doing well. I know he misses daddy because he is trying to get me to do "daddy things" like: play gonna get you, throw him on the bed, and wrestle. It's not that I never do these things, it's just that daddy always plays like this with him when he gets home from work.

I got a Visa gift card from Christian's work today to thank me for all the support I give him while he's traveling. My job actually had an income this week. Kudos for me and a job well done! lol I'm sure I'll put it towards a Spa Day.

God's Grace is Sufficient: Day 1

Christian left this morning for a 9 day business trip. This will be the longest he and I have been apart since before we were engaged. I will miss my best friend greatly.

He recently went on a 4 day trip and that went quite well. I was a pretty level headed mommy with a 3 & 1 year old at home, but the last day I started to loose my cool and held on till hubby got home. I really feel like I had God's grace for those 4 days and now I'm trusting Him to provide what I need for the next 9. We've already had one major meltdown this morning from the little man, but I handled that pretty well. He is definitely entering the 2's and it's amazing how soon you forget all the boundary drawing you need to do.

Here's the verse I'm standing on for the next 9 days:

2Cor12:9 "My grace is all you need. My power works best in weakness." So now I'm glad to boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ can work through me.
