pat's parents have a lake house about 2 hours away. we are blessed to be able to go there with them a couple times a year.
well, pat took ALL 3 KIDS to the lake house yesterday after church. they should be arriving home in the next little while. i've been BY MYSELF for over 24 hours.
the idea was for me to rest. and for them to have more fun without me than they would have had lugging me around.
i have rested. i've also read, cleaned, packed my bag for the hospital (finally), grocery shopped, painted, had complete thoughts, talked to friends on the phone...for as long as i wanted!
i've felt very selfish. it's been nice. but i wouldn't want to live like this. i love being responsible for all the people i get to take care of every day. taking care of just me isn't very fun or fulfilling.
i can't wait to show you the project i'm working on. it's taking a lot of hours. but it's going to be so so special.
i just got this email "from Pat's wireless Blackberry" a few minutes ago...
"Dear. Mom.I. I. ove. You. Veary. Muchi. I. HearedYou. r. Song. From. Your. Phone
LoveRebekah"
the song is Nicole Nordeman's "Every Season" - it's my "ringtone" - they must have heard it on the radio. so cute!
i can't wait to hug them.
