Only 12 more days until Baby Day! It’s getting exciting. I’m trying to occupy myself (at least my mind) to make my days go by faster, but, at the same time, taking advantage of only having two low-demand kiddos to take care of and rest up. I guess I should count myself lucky by being able to say that with an almost four year old and a two year old that my kids are “low-demand”. They really are, though. I have to feed them, give them drinks, occasionally wipe a bottom or change a pull-up, and that’s about it. They are generally well-behaved at home. They know what they are and are not allowed to do, and pretty much stick to the rules. They play really well together, and don’t fight a lot. They entertain each other all day long. I am really blessed, I know. So, they let me get away with lounging on the couch reading a book, taking afternoon naps while they watch a movie, or just sitting around browsing the internet. Most days, my energy level doesn’t allow for much more than that.
Yesterday, however, I felt really good most of the day. I went shopping with the kids and my cousins, Stephanie and Kiah. We got stuff for Kyra’s birthday party (which is this Saturday) at Party City, and I bought Kyra’s birthday presents. I also got my dad a Father’s Day gift, and Elijah two polo shirts for three dollars at Goodys. We had lunch at Chic-fil-a, and then came home. I got a little bit tired after we got home, and me and Steph sat around and chatted while Kiah played with Kyra and Elijah. Yesterday evening, I took the kids to Bible School. I stuck around while they were there. I was planning on helping in the kitchen, but they didn’t really need me. I just kind of stood around in the way. Since I know that they dont’ need my help, tonight I’m just going to drop the kids off and go to the revival with Dale Massengale at the Tabernacle.
So, between the kids going to Bible School this week, and me going to the revival, that should keep time ticking along. Sometimes it seems like 12 days takes a lot longer to pass by, but, in reality, I know that before I know it I’ll be holding my little man in my arms!
