In my mind I was soooo gung-ho on getting all this stuff done before Callahan comes home. But my body didn’t agree. I got sick. I’m actually not surprised because after I finish any intense projects, my body seems to know when I’m done, and just completely shuts down. Today though … it was bad. Probably the worst I’ve been in a while because I woke up with a raging headache. Like I’m pretty sure I’d call it a migraine, but since I also think I was going thru major caffeine withdrawls, I’m kind of on the fence. Regardless, it was a ROUGH day. I’m so thankful to my neighbor and my parents who helped me out while Bob was working. Seriously – I was down for the count.

But these crazy kiddos of mine didn’t seem to mind. I will say, there is nothing SWEETER than hearing your 5 year old daughter praying in the kitchen to God that He will make her Momma feel better. And then to top it off, said daughter comes into the living room where you’re sprawled on the couch and starts rubbing your foot with the hopes that it’ll help. I LOVE that girl! Somebody take her Target!

But in a way she kind of owes me since her and the boy destroyed the kitchen and dumped a ton of pre-cut fabric I had in a bin on the floor. But hey. We all survived, right?

So now that my brain is starting to work again, I’m back to making mental lists of everything I need to accomplish. I want to reorganize a ton of different spaces, and the crazy thing, is that I actually think I’ll get everything done. I’m not expecting a travel call in the next few days … heck not in the next week! So I’m thinking there’s still some decent time left. One of the things I’m going to do is have a ‘One Day Sale’ in my ‘Shop’ on May 11th. I’m sure I’ll post another ‘shout out’ on the ol’ blog, but the reason for this sale is so I can raise some $$$ for donations to bring to our Agency. I know a lot of people bring rice cereal and puffs and things of that nature, so I’m hoping to be able to bring some of the other things that are needed … maternity clothes, medications, toddler clothes – stuff like that. If anyone is interested in sending donations for me to take – just let me know! I can give you more information on what is needed.

Tomorrow Bob has to work again (it’s his weekend on) and I have to say, I’m a bit nervous to see what the morning brings. I’m SOOO hoping that I don’t wake up with another headache, but you never know. But what I DO know, is every day I wake up,  it brings me one day closer to this guy!
