God SO DOES have a PLAN. It has been a rough week, but it is getting brighter. And knowing God can see the out come and future is going to have to be enough for me right now.
The DivorceCare group has been very good! It is every Monday night, seems like by Thursday I wish Monday would come faster so I can go again sooner :)
Looking forward to moving in to an apartment with my mom here in a couple months. Hayden is very ready too. Plus he keeps mentioning that we need a cat cause Daddy and Grandma both have kitties around.. So SOON we will be with Grandma's kitties.
Anyone have any ideas in how to encourage a 5 year old Boy to listen better? It is seriously testing my patience daily. like okay it's time to put your boots on and socks.. and he just continues to lay on the couch or pretends he's a sleep on the floor.. i dunnoooooo
Well been a week now of me not sleeping soundly, I really hope that comes back soon! it is tiring waking up at 1, 2, 4, 6, 6:30, 7, 7:30... then I'm up... or 6:30 if I get sick of the pattern sooner :o)

ooooh Nat!!! So honest, so true, so raw... SO much HOPE!! I can relate to the 5 year old testing your patience... there are 3 of them who don't like getting ready, and now the 5 year old has a cast so he can't run away! but the 3 year old runs away, and the 2 year old does what she sees her brothers doing!! Argh! And we have to put on all their gear... so much!! it's about a 30 minute ordeal to get dressed to go outside! yikes! as far as suggestions... hmm... sometimes i turn it into a game... a race, that encourages the 5 year old sometimes... other times he could care less... the younger ones think it's a game sometimes, which is fine every once in awhile, but not every.single.day. i encourage them by what we're doing next after they get all their stuff on...other times i get upset and talk in a firm voice... but really it's just having patience as you wisely said. as far as sleep goes, i can send you my thesis and you will fall asleep quickly reading that ;) hehe! i am praying for you dear!! xoxo
hahahahaha alright your on send me that thesis :)
