I’m blogging about my mornings this week because I want to be intentional and accountable about how I spend my time without kids. To see how I came to be with out kids and how I desire to spend my time click here.
I am tired. All of this getting all the boys places before 9 am is wiping me out. Even with the thought of my respite hours ahead – this morning I questioned the worth of it all. I am also saluting all working moms that do this every day. I can barely get myself clothed at 7am needless to say 3 extra!
I was feeling more at awake after my coffee at Uncle Bills. Mary and I had a breakfast together at Uncle Bill’s Pancake House – because this week is all about food right? I made my own menu item of 2 eggs over easy, whole wheat toast and Canadian bacon. How is something like that not on the menu?!?! BTW, they don’t have fruit cups, which I found a little surprising. I just wanted a little something to balance all the carb and grease options.
I left my time with Mary feeling very encouraged and excited about some of the ideas we were plotting. Mary and I are both deacons at Riverside Church, which basically means that we help with the care and mercy needs of our community. Although we are on different teams, she is over the long-term/short term illnesses and I am on a team that helps with life transitions, we were able to brainstorm ideas about how we do what we do better. It was great.
One more day….
