*At about 4 a.m. this morning I decided to start 3 new categories on my blog: Life with Liam, Thao's Tidbits and Ava's Amazing Adventures. These are mostly for my memories. I know I will forget things. Some things may seem simple or boring to you but it's important to me that my kids have some kind of journal to look back on. Feel free to skip these categories if you find them uninteresting and enjoy "stories of the kids" and such! *
I really need to learn to sleep when ALL my children are sleeping, no matter what time it may be. Apparently, I'm a slow learner. I can NEVER EVER get myself to even try to sleep when they go to bed. I like my time, getting things done, relaxing with Jeff, whatever it may be, it's MY time. Don't get me wrong, I love the time I have with the kids, but there's just something about winding down at the end of the day. Oh well, I'm babbling, you see that happens when you get less than 4 hours of sleep. I went to bed about midnight and Liam woke up at 1 and 2. Then at 3 he decided that I must be very lonely and he really wanted some Mommy/Liam time. That sweet little boy was awake from 3-5. He was so cute though. So, I decided to enjoy it. :) Little Liam was smiley, sweet and snuggly. Here's what I really wanted to blog about....something I've missed out on so many times before. To keep myself awake, calm, and at peace, I chose to start praying for my little Liam My little Liam will soon be sleeping through the night. He won't want snuggles anymore. He won't need me as much. But, he will always need me to pray. So, pray I shall. It got me through the night and amazingly through the day. I'm still learning, all these times I could get upset, emotional, complain, and cry I can also choose to turn it over to Christ and rest in him. Sure, the house is a reck, (and so am I!) but these days are so few. Thank you Lord, for them. Thank you for the opportunity to stay home and rest with my kids. Help me to remember to sleep when they do! :)
