Monday, our school had a 90 minute delay. Ty stayed home sick Monday and Tuesday, Jack had no preschool Monday and Thatcher is teething and in much pain. Tuesday, as Ty stayed home...Quentin also called home and asked for me to come pick him up because he wasn't feeling well. Tuesday morning I was on a mission to clean all bathrooms and floors, dust, put away laundry, do laundry, clean and vacuum. I accomplished that mission just in time to recieve Quentin's phone call, which I had an amazing person come through for me and pick him up, so I wouldn't have to drag 3 kids out. This morning...I had reached teary eyed exhaustion...being up all hours of the night with my teething baby, taking care of sick kids and trying to finish up Christmas and keep the house in order...has me crying out for a break. Well.....
This morning after waking, I learned Ty had woken up Jack ( Never wake a sleeping child ). Jack was in full crying meltdown disaster mode this morning...As I tried to give cough syrup to Quentin he gagged and threw it up all over my "just cleaned" kitchen floors..not once but twice. I had to wake the baby (YES I woke a sleeping child :( ) I bundled all 4 boys up to get them off to school ( THEY ALL WENT BACK TODAY). I started my van 10 minutes before leaving..to do the "warm your car up thing". Well, My windshield wipers were stuck, my brake light wouldn't quit flashing and beeping, my interior light couldn't decide if it would rather be on or off and my passenger sliding door was stuck between open and closed!!! Ahhhh....So, after dropping all of them off to school...I went home and devoted my morning to God. I prayed about my car...( silly I know but...rely on God in ALL times is what God is working on in me)...Guess what?!?
At 11 a.m. Thatcher and I bundled up after starting the car again...and my windshield wipers were now unstuck. After I picked Jack up...my brake light and interior light went off...and as I opened the "stuck" door...It came open with a little tug. God is good....ALL the time!! Jack said "mommy you got it" I said "No honey, Jesus did it" and he said "I didn't see him." :) That made my struggles this morning...SO WORTH IT!!! Ok...done venting! On with..hopefully a better day!
