Hats off to all of the moms out there who work full time at home and work outside the home. I don't know how you manage. I rarely have downtime and fall into bed at 9 p.m. Oh, but I love it!
We have had an incredible month, and not in the good way. On February 4th, Tim had emergency gall bladder surgery and was in the hospital. A few days after that, James and I got the terrible stomach flu bug that is going around and I ended up in the hospital from it. Then Tim had eye surgery and is just now going back to work. I am glad February is over. Crossing my fingers for March (and more sunshine!).
I don't remember where I read it, but I recently read that instead of trying to get to the other side of the fence where the grass is greener, you should cultivate the grass on your side of the fence. God is really teaching me the depth of that through my husband. I am learning to appreciate every single day and focus on the blessings in my life, because before we know it, our lives will be over and we'll be looking back with appreciation and not regret (hopefully).
So my blessings this morning:
-A few minutes of alone time while James plays in his crib to eat breakfast and blog.
-Two weeks of a sick-free household (minus eye surgery).
-A husband whose love for me and our son inspire him to try to be better, do better, do more...when he absolutely does not need to.
-A sweet, good child, whose hiccups are currently so loud I can hear them all the way out here.
