So, today I got up and set myself on a schedule. I would start with laundry, cleaning the floors, spot cleaning the bathrooms, one hour of work, go to the store to get boxes to mail my mom's Mother's Day present, come home put baby down for a nap, work a little bit more, lunch, then go to the P.O. to mail gift, come home spend time with the boys doing summer school work and reading, make dinner, relax, put the boys to bed, then work for a short time and go to bed myself. Well, I made it through most on the list today, however after cleaning bathrooms and before going to the store I received a call about yet another "crisis project" that needs to be done by Friday. AAAAGHHH! I continued with all on my "schedule" but then proceeded to stress out the rest of the day about tonight's work. My Mother's Rule of Life doesn't really tell me how to allow for these little interruptions. Or maybe it did and I'm such a skimmer that I missed that part. Oh well, the best laid plans. All I can say is that I am really looking forward to middle June and hopefully work will ease up for a while (just a little while though!!)
Still praying for Tiff today - she should be out of surgery by now and hopefully will hear some really good news! Aidan is doing great - starting to say words again - advanced words for a 22 month old period, let alone a 22 month old that suffered a tramatic brain injury. I am still so in awe of God's miracles! And so glad for the opportunities he keeps presenting me to offer up my little sufferings for the good of others. So, my lesson for today - rejoice when sufferings come, since I can unite my suffering with Christ's to help bring grace down upon others.
