The Slone family @ Konow's Pumpkin Patch.
Well what can I say~ its been an interesting week. We started out last Saturday going soul winning followed by a day spent as a family with our church family at a local pumpkin patch, it was lots of fun and the weather wasn't to bad either. It was the days that followed that things took a turn for the not so good. Before we even thought about leaving the activities
Matthew went into a screaming rampage- still not quite sure what that was all about~ lots of tears, lots of nasal discharge. For safety sake and not wanting to get all the nursery children sick we kept him home. I went to church Sunday morning while my husband did the evening service. Monday day wasn't to bad but come Monday evening Jackie came down with the flu and was home the rest of the week, Tuesday was manageable and Wednesday the other two children came down sick. As one can imagine Thursday was not a productive day~ Matthew was highly clingy and was attached to my hip, shoulder and just about everywhere else~ he just had to be touching me. Come 9 o'clock when daddy came home~ I had to do something and fast. I went nuts cleaning and disinfecting everything and by midnight I was tired out but content with the fact I had done something productive. I'm not saying it was easy and that I didn't lose my temper. I did get testy~but I didn't totally lose it. Why? I had God on my side and at this moment of time he wanted me to be a caring, loving comforting mom to a sick child. Now here we are today and all three children were home again, the early morning was a breeze for daddy was home but come this afternoon I was beside myself, The clinging returned and I wasn't so sure what to do with the evening plans. Thank the Lord Matthew took a long nap and I was able to sit and soak in a nice warm tub~ which really was re- freshing. My mom came out~ and I was able to attend " Spiritual Gifts" the theme for this months Ladies ministry @ GBC. Very interesting! and I'll possibly post more about that at a later time. I'm happy that I went and was able to fellowship and learn new things and that this very long week will soon come to an end~ It wasn't bad but a bit more than I'm used too.
So too all my friends~ Have a healthy happy week and talk to you soon.
