{ Me thinks Monday...}

no WAIT change that to WAS here.... Friday we went for a walk and saw birds, saw someone buiding a fire reminded us of camping, then someone had fired up the BBQ, people were out walking, biking it was so nice ... Now we are back in the cold. I honestly don't think its leaving anytime soon! It's hot then its cold, every season in one weekend crazy!

Oh well on a better note D got all the bedrooms and bathroom and playroom painted and I LOVE the color! The dry wallers are supposed to be here to fix the ceiling and hall tomorrow so it better get done! I'm just so excited to get this basement done!! Other then that

Kind of a quiet weekend other then working on the house.

-----------------------

Today I was so sad I broke my little girls heart.... felt like it anyway. Today was her snack day and I had told her I wanted to come and stay with her as the parent helper and she was so looking forward to it.. anyway I took snack in but hadn't been able to find anybody to watch Masen. So I told Lauren I probably wouldn't be able to stay because I couldn't find anybody to watch Masen thinking she probably wouldn't care all that much.. but SHE did her little lip started to quiver and she started naming all the people I could take him too {one's I had already thought of} Nothing worse then disappointment especially watching your little girl and the lip quiver ...she was so sad. I left frustrated and started to cry partly because she was so sad partly because it had already been one of those days already and it wasn't even 10 ! partly because I was so frustrated and I haven't been able to go to the other snack days of hers either. Anyway I thought really hard and determined to find somebody to watch masen and finally thought of somebody i hoped would so I went and begged her j/k and thankfully she watched him for me. SO I went back to her class and she was so so happy I'm so glad I finally found somebody and could spend the time with her. She is so fun. Sure love her!! Her smile and hug when I came in was worth it!

ME THINKS

is from

{an old post but I needed it so I'm doing it again a nice reminder we all need those right...}
From the book {Random thoughts about lifes Wrinkles}

Something I think alot about and thats doing the best we can do.

Going the extra mile even when we think we can't.

"God asks of us only the best we can do. He knows that we have different kinds of moments and days and seasons, but He is never asking more then our best. There are times when He will ask for more than we think we can do, but it isn't more than we can do if we'll let Him help us. Think of the comfort and wonder in that. He asks for the best we can do, and for what we can't do, He "fills in".
We do what we can and He does what we can't."

We learn and grow so much when we do our best no matter what it is.
I love this quote that I heard somewhere
"God wants full custody, not weekend visits"
Prayer is a big part of doing our best. We need to do it everyday not just when life gets hard or the times we think we can't go on, or the times when we take to much on or have more trials then we think are our fair share.

If we do it all the time and ask for help we are more ready and open to receive the part we can't do and the help He can give us.
It is amazing how when we do our best, live our best, ask for help we will get it one way or another I have found that so many times in my life.

Lately I find myself being impatient feeling like I so want another baby, or need to do this or that but I can't do anymore then I am doing praying, fasting, papers in waiting, wondering if maybe we are to old and we already have three kids but is it wrong to want another one?? when we have already been blessed with three? Wouldn't the feeling go away if three was all there was for us?? But if its the only way we can have the family we want you can see how my brain works in overtime wondering thinking.....

Its just hard sometimes when it seems like there are babies everywhere and something you have no control over has to be handed over to someone who knows best. It's hard.

That among so many trials others have when I look around I am thankful for what has been handed me when I see what others are going through some break my heart and make me count the blessings I already have.

--

We do what we can and He does what we can't

I like that.

Hope you all have a great week

Make it a great one....
