Today was NUTS! On days like today I wonder how I missed their private huddle in the morning where they planned their strategy of Operation Make Mommy Crazy Day. It doesn't help that Tzadok can now climb out of every crib, the play yard and over my baby gate, too. You can tell him, "You stay here." He'll just cry and cry, then start climbing again. I prayed in the bathroom while I was sopping up the pond and drying off the drowned toys, "God, tell me.... when will I catch a break today... or ever?" There was then gentle reminder in the back of your head, "You'll get your reward. This is a time of sowing. Just keep sowing and when the harvest comes you'll reap." Just when I thought today's struggles got the best of me, I walked into the toy room during wind down time last night and found Teagan reading her Bible of her own free will. Was she repenting??? lol.... I don't know but it was sign enough that maybe I'll make it through tomorrow.
Last night I decided to let Zac get some rest.... alone in a room with no one within earshot.. So, it was five children and myself strewed amongst a king sized bed, two crib mattresses and one twin. It gives new meaning to the term "bed room" (no longer a room with a bed, but a room OF beds). What was I thinking??? Actually, they wound down pretty well. Color me surprised. But I felt like I was walking through booby traps during my 3:00 AM jaunt to the bathroom. Fun times :)
Now, let's see what they've got planned today!
Me.
