Little Brother and I ventured through the rain for Bible study this morning. It was only after we got there that I realized I probably should have stayed home.
Today I'm feeling somewhat like this lone leaf... content to lie where I fall {the couch!} with the hope that no one will come along and pick me up {or expect me to pick myself up}.
Since we've returned home it's been a quiet afternoon and I've had a chance to consider with thankfulness some of the days blessings...
A kind husband who volunteered to take Big Brother to school despite having to backtrack.
A little buddy who {surprisingly} still naps after lunch affording me time to nap as well.
A cloudy, wet day inspiring rest and quietude.
A thoughtful mother-in-law who offered to pick-up my school boy.
An afternoon cup of tea with fresh lemon.
Sweet baby kicks that remind me of why physical exhaustion can be very precious.

I know the feeling today. My precious 9-month-old isn't sleeping or napping well lately. And I want to fall into bed on this gray afternoon, but I'll keep trucking. Yay for the sweet 3-year-old that still naps well...
Oh sweet Christian! We had quite a rainy morning here too BUT when I left to walk to the grocery store it was *not* raining. I got quite the soaking and a good workout on the way home! Nothing else could have convinced me to move so fast I don't think. :) The sun has come out now which is beautiful and I got some flowers planted. A husband who will back track is a blessing indeed. Backtracking is not popular. :) Yea for a little brother who naps and wonderful mothers-in-law! not long . . . Kelly
It always does the heart good to take note and count our blessings.
I'm glad you have dear ones to care for you....and let them! :)
I just stumbled on your blog and really enjoyed reading about your (very familiar) days and looking at your photos.
My heart goes out to you. . . I'm glad you have bright moments and people to take care of you. My big girl still naps occasionally too, but always has a rest time after lunch regardless. I NEED that time and no one talking to me!
Naps and baby bustling. Yep. Life is exhausting, but such sweet blessings it can hold.
such contentedness : )
