A day in the life.....

of me......

My day started at 3 am because I woke up unable to sleep. Believe it or not the Lord has given me a message to share with a congregation. I don't know when, and I don't know where but it was burning in my heart last night. I will begin working on it today. Finally, at 5 am the Lord let me go back to sleep, after thinking and praying and pondering what He was writing on my heart. It is a work in progress. The alarm went of at 5:15 am and I lingered in bed while Mike took Christopher down for his morning treatment before breakfast. The baby woke up at 5:30 am and I joined Mike and Christopher downstairs. My dear husband put together Christopher's lunch and breakfast, what a blessing. I decided to change what Christopher wore to school today as it was COLD......20 something degrees. Brrrrrr, for us Florida transplants we are freezing. I cuddled with Jennifer and supervised Christopher getting ready for school as I tried to pull my brain together in something other than sleep deprived fog. My husband walked Christopher to the bus stop and took his morning walk. When he returned, I got dressed and took my walk. The cold......was invigorating, yeah, that's it, invigorating. But I will do more exercise this year. I came home and gave the girls breakfast and actually made myself eat breakfast. I have started a load of laundry and am working on house chores. FUN......uhm, maybe not fun but I will try and see it as fun. I let the girls play with some ladies shoes. They had a blast. A friend gave me some shoes to try but they are too big so I will need to pass them on to someone else. But the girls got into the bag of shoes and were much to cute to stop. That is it thus far, but the day still has much to do. Jennifer is sleeping and Hannah was hiding playing with her brother's game boy(she is not supposed to have it). So I just had to do some correction. I guess in her mind because her back was to me, I could not see what she was doing. Kids are so funny, even when they are naughty. Both the girls have nasty colds but no fever. I am about to do my daily devotions and prayer time, and then we will have lunch as soon as Jennifer wakes up from her nap. I have much on the plans for today and hope to get it all accomplished but if I don't get to everything, tomorrow will be here. After all, sometimes it is better to let kids play with shoes than it is to have a spotless living room.

To Be Continued(if it isn't too boring)
