An interesting thing happened yesterday.
Just when I thought I would break down...really break down, the Lord saw fit to bless me with one of his tender mercies.
Kian slept. He slept long enough for me to get a few things done, long enough for my milk supply to actually replenish itself before the next feeding, and long enough for me to eat dinner. I know it doesn't sound like a lot but it was exactly what I needed.
I was also able to put him down for bed a little early and have a "date" with Rob. Just the two of us snuggling on the couch, watching a movie...ALONE. It was, again, just what I needed.
It's wonderful to know that the Lord is mindful of me and my family. I truly feel blessed to have him watching out for me.

I gotta tell you, Mel, hang in there. Those tender mercies will keep coming. I hear you about the almost burn-out. "Full-time" doesn't do justice the amount of time it takes to get anything done as a mom. You're awesome for surviving the many boys you have!
I think that we can all relate...I know that I can! Good for you for recognizing and being grateful for His tender mercies, that makes all the difference! You're amazing!
You're a rock star Mrs. Gilespie! Wish I could be there to lend a hand, but looks like you know who the best person is to have in your corner. Give credit where credit is due and you will continue to see His tender mercies! You know that is how I am making it!
Love you MEL!
seriously, no one understands unless they've been there. Glad that you recognize those special times ;)
