Friday Letters
Dear Children, there is no school today. Woohoo! Don't wake me up. Dear Dr., thanks for shootin my knee up with some juice. I take injections like a champ. So I've been told. It hurts and will not bend now, but next week it will be feeling great. And as for my hand (post surgery) my body likes to over do it with the scar tissue. I don't blame it, it has been cut open a few too many times. Massage and keeping it mobile are supposed to help with the pain. I think it will work better if someone else is doing the hand massage...Will, you fill prescriptions right? Dear Hot Water, Hallelujah!! We now have hot water...on one side of the house. The other side, the bathroom the kids use has no hot/water at all. You turn it to hot and nothing comes out. Oh well. We all got a hot shower and never ran out of hot water. Dear L+L Class, it is very needed to have reminders every week to improve our parenting. It is definitely working because the kids don't like it, but I do. HAHAHAHA (insert evil laugh). Dear Walmart, beware of the tuna isle. I had a nice man offer to have me if my husband ever decides to let me go. His offer stood even after finding out we share 7 kids. Haha That is what happens when you dress modestly ladies...men shopping for a date mistakenly think you don't have any stretch marks. Little does he know it was only the second day this week I wasn't wearing sweat pants. Oh isn't Will a lucky man! Dear House, I really REALLY need a house of order. I should have a garage sale. Who am I kidding. I can't even organize my pinterest pages. An important part of my brain seems to have completely shut down. Dear Sleep, it's a constant struggle. I desperately need restful sleep. The key word here is "restful". Dear Will, I'm looking forward to having you home this weekend. Sometimes I want to be selfish and keep you all to my self. Actually I always feel that way. Dear Self, with Easter approaching I feel very blessed and so grateful for my Savior. I am so grateful for the peace that comes when we seek Him. Just this week I had a very real reminder that He Lives, He Loves me, And He is always there. My heart warms as I hear my children talk about Easter among themselves and they aren't talking about the Easter bunny. They are talking about Jesus Christ. Couldn't make me happier.
