No Sleep

Bubba J has not been sleeping well lately.  I know, I know, he's a baby and that's what babies do.  It's easy to say that when you're not smack in the middle of it.  Yesterday, I was talking to a friend about how he is not sleeping and there is no reason for it.  She shared with me how God had worked in her when her kids were babies.  I believe her words were, "There's a reason.  It may not have anything to do with Bubba J, but there's a reason."  When she was going through this she learned that if she was up at night with the kids, God would either give her time the next day for a nap or give her the strength to get through the day.  So last night when Bubba J was up three times, I chose to trust God that he would get me through today.  To my surprise this morning, I woke up at 7:10 to my husband getting the kids ready.  He told me to go back to sleep and he would take the kids to school.  It was such a blessing to me and confirmed that I need to trust God for my strength and comfort.  Both my friend and my husband allowed God to use them in very different ways.  Praise God for Christian friends and a wonderful husband.

A couple of things I've learned while jogging

So I'm new to jogging, but I've already made a few observations.

1.  People do their laundry at night, so I get to smell lavender and springtime as I jog.

2.  You only notice the wind when you're running against it.

3.  The street lights remind me of being a kid.  The whole, be home when the street lights come on thing.  Having fun with my friends, no worries, and not realizing how lucky I was to not have any responsibilities.

Talk Radio

If you remember not long ago, I joined a new group.  Nerds.  I started to enjoy reading.  Well, now I have crossed over into a new age group.  Old!!  No, I did not have a birthday.  I started enjoying Christian talk radio.  Only old people like that, right?  So, I guess I'm old.

Things I Never Want to Forget Cont.

The way Bubba J flaps his arms when he is SO excited!

As we were reading a book yesterday, there were some kids eating cookies in it.  Sissy says, "Hey, no fair."  Like she should get a cookie too.
