This is the number of days we have left till Daddy comes home for good.
You will all be so happy to not hear me speak of his absence again. Remember the last few weeks of my pregnancy with Gage...in October..it was all I could speak of.
But seriously, the support I have received from friends, family and readers of this blog has been wonderful and very helpful for my frame of mind.
These last few months were definitely a test for me and not just my husband who really had to take tests. I don't think I have ever been tested so much in a spiritual way as I was in the past 16 weeks. I do think I failed on a lot of levels but in other ways I think I grew and I realize I am not even anywhere near the finish line, but I am close and that is what I am setting my sights on.
I have a couple of busy days ahead of me and hopefully a relaxing weekend with no plans of yet. Okay I lied, I always have plans brewing in my little brain. One of my goals this weekend is to finally use the Lush products I bought and have me a nice bath. I have some cards to make and it's my sister in laws birthday. I also need to get the kids suited up for Daddy's Grad (and myself, possibly a paid for pedicure?) and we will be ready to leave for the grad.
The kids are extremely ecstatic to hit the waterslides at the hotel and see "Wachel and Sarah". I want to see my father in law go down the waterslide....;).
When this is all said and done I wonder when we look back will I see how tough it was? I know when I had the twins it took me having another baby to realize how hard it was having two babies and a three year old to care for. Now it's hard having two three year olds!
So I thank any of you that have left comments, sent me emails or said a prayer for me and my family. Every bit of support was felt and I am pretty sure my prayers and yours were what got me through this with my sanity intact.
And completely unrelated to this post is this commercial (click on the left on "see the commercial") I wanted to share it because it's funny and oh so true.
