my morning

If you read my myspace blog, this first part will be familiar to you. I just wanted to post it on both!

This morning I woke up very early with Caden, 5ish, after a night where I was up frequently with the boys (all of them but Ian). I was not very happy with God. I asked Him, "How do you expect me to be a good mom when I'm not getting any sleep?" Well, praise God that He knows what He is doing!! I was able to have my quiet time while eating breakfast (eggs, bacon, and yogurt) and drinking a cup of coffee. It was a great time with God! I am so challenged in my study of 1 John! Then, I was able to take a bath (there isn't a shower in my parents' old house) and almost completely dry my hair before the boys were awake. How much better my morning has been!!
Praise God that His plans are better than ours!

Kyle had a rough night. He woke up around 10pm (right when I was getting into bed) crying. He said, "I just want to go home" and "I miss daddy". I told him that we could call daddy in the morning, and he said, "no, right now". So, I called Michael and Kyle was reassured that he will be here soon! He ended up sleeping with me and is NOT a still sleeper! I'm just praying for him to understand all this better.

Nathanael never ceases to amaze me. My dad went to the store and bought paper plates, bowls, and plasticware to cut back on our dishes (old house doesn't have a dishwasher either). Anyway, I got a cup for Nathanael and wrote his name on it. I told him that this would be his cup all day. He says to me, "This is the same as when we were with Josiah at camp." Okay, that was LAST SUMMER in Colorado at Mike's family reunion. Too funny. I can't even remember what I did yesterday half the time!
