Short-Timing It
That's what my hubster calls it. We are short-timing it until a major part of our lives comes back to us. He's in his last months of getting his degree and we are feeling it. Between working full-time & attending school full-time, there's not a lot of "hubby/daddy" time left. We are looking forward to Daddy having all this "free" time!!!
Right now, we are still trudging through it. Our son is back in college for his 2nd semester and loving it. (That helps this homeschool mum~he has a love for learning. =) I am getting use to not having him here during the day...kind of. Those of us with older kids understands how much you rely on them. You really notice these things when they're not there - when you can't reach that bowl...you know...that one...W - A - Y up...t h e r e... "Where's my Long-Arms???" The other is when you want to hear their voice and you know have to wait. Sigh...
So, for most of our day it's me and my girlie. It's her first time to not have her Bubi doing school with her. She keeps saying how weird it is. This is a girl who has demanded to do "school" since she was sitting up! She would sit next to her Bubi and want her school stuff...could hardly talk yet, but she was going to write her name! He misses her too and he makes time for her. It's really nice to have him teaching her ASL (American Sign Language) and they have skating/hockey lessons together.
Through all of this, please remember to keep us in your prayers. We're walking where we feel God wants us and it's not always the easiest, but we know that when we fall, God catches us! And Mum here is trying to keep everyone and everything in order and on track...praying for patience, insight, wisdom and endurance!
