Last day of freedom :-)

Yup, thats right, tomorrow I return to the world of the gainfully employed! Partially sad, part excited about returning..it will be an adjustment for all of us I am sure. My fam has gotten used to Mama being there to do almost *all* the chores, cook all the meals and do all the errands. Hmmmmmm....thinking that is all about to change!

My work is super flexible so my schedule is going to start out as 4 half days and we will see how that works. I am blessed to have a flexible job and an understanding boss (who happens to have 4 kiddos herself!) Tim is doing the childcare on everyday but Wed when he will go to my friend Mandi's house to play with Mylee and Gabe and soon Drew!! Tim just has to stay awake until naptime!! We will see how it all works out in a week or 3. Sammy (and mommy too) are going to have a pretty hard adjustment with getting up and around for the day before 10 am!

One would have thought that I would have taken huge advantage of the absolutely gorgeous weekend we had to have some serious family time! I had it all planned out, some yard work then...hiking and canoeing...orphan sunday at church, orphan ministry, orphan celebration.... lots of stuff planned and the only thing I can say happened is that Tim and the kids went to orphan sunday at church. I was pretty much unaware of anything other than my bed and how close the toilet was in proximety! It was UGLY! Honestly I dont know anything that happened between when I went to bed at 8 on friday night and today at around 2. I consumed a 2 liter of gingerale and exactly 5 saltines in all those hours.

Luckily I came out of my sickness haze today after my poor toddler got stuck in front of endless Dora and Mickey Mouse episodes. I am pretty sure he isnt permanently traumatized and life is getting back to normal! Tim and the kids did a great job, the laundry isnt piled up, no one ended up bleeding or starving and he took care of all the little things that crop up all the time!

I did however totally enjoy the week before my horrid illness.....











We went to the park a few times, we went to playgroup, we went to the science museum, we went to a its playtime! We were BUSY!! everyday doing things that we wont get to do so much of as mommy returns to work.

Thank you all so much for your thoughts and prayers with Tims plant closing....we are praying for God to show us where He wants Tim and where He wants our family...out of our comfort zone or not...

Blessings
