We have had a productive week so far.
I have intentionally slept in every day this week.
I’ve had almost three weeks off, and I am lovin’ it! It has been a very busy time, but we have gotten a lot of deeper cleaning done. The house isn’t technically clean, but it’s in a lot better shape than it has been in months.
I told the Mister that I am really enjoying the domestic life. And then I thought of the dog poo that I had just cleaned up. I am really enjoying the domestic life, except when I’m not!!
I made the best dinner we’ve had in some time tonight. It was nothing special, but it was complete for once. I roasted a pork loin and threw in some potatoes, carrots and green beans. Mmmm! The veggies were SO good! And the house smelled great!
My favorite cook is on a missions trip this week, which is why I’ve been cooking so often these last few days. It was actually almost enjoyable to make all three meals today. I love that he helps out with so much of the cooking, but I don’t love going in there to wash dishes and then having him or his father show up to cook something. It’s like swimming up stream, I tell ya! I’ve noticed I’ve maintained my progress this week so far. I miss my boy, though.
My friend who went as a chaperon called this afternoon to let me know that things are fine. She gave me an update on my boy because she knew I was probably dying to know what he is up to. Yes, I am curious, but his father has me beat! He kept saying, “I wonder how [nickname] is.” I miss that kid, but I am so glad he has gotten the opportunity to go out and do something for someone else in Jesus’ name.
We had a very positive (humanly speaking) answer to prayer this week. We were totally blown away but thanked God for the blessing!
You know, lately I’ve noticed that God has been confirming His answers to prayer (the yesses and the nos). I’m very thankful for His care in our family. I’m starting to trust that He really is the best one to keep control.
Well, today is about the 36th day on the EPI journey. I will say that it tires me out. Heidi has been having accidents nightly. It’s pretty discouraging. When I called the vet to set up a follow up appointment, I was really, really disappointed to hear on their answering machine that they are on vacation this week. *sigh* Oh well. I’ll just have to trust God with my sanity.
Well, I can’t keep my eyes open. Sleep well, cyberneighbors!
