Grace to Make It

Fact: The amount of grace I show my children is directly proportionate to the amount of sleep I get each night.

Fact: Last night I only got 5ish hours of sleep.

You do the math.
If you think of us today, pray that He will give us grace to make it.

New Phase

Bubba and Little have both mastered the stairs – finally!  Both can go up and down all alone.  So, why then did today find this me doing this:

Well, because of this:

That’s right, my 9m old actually fell down a step today.  I would feel like a terrible mother except how the HECK was I supposed to even be on the look out for that one? She is 9 MONTHS OLD!!

I was on the phone paying an anesthesia bill and I heard a “kabop – pause – scream”.  It was the fastest over the phone bill paying ever – that woman was ready to be released from the crying in her ear!


KB was fine – more scared than hurt.

Seems we have entered a new phase.  And with a tentative step taken today, we could be close to another. . .

You can’t say I never listen. . .

I went to BBB and got my very own weekly calendar wipe board. Turned out the rim was plastic instead of metal and so it was light enough to hang on the frig. So, the kids and I made a trip to Home Depot (where they got to ride in an ORANGE BUGGY – the thrill of simple things) to get super duper magnets and I super glued them on all by myself. Oh yeah, I’m handy. 2 min. later – that’s 30 sec. per magnet – and wah–lah! Insto-organized. (I wish)

Thanks, mom, for the great tip!
