tired day

I am beginning to accept that (for the next 6 or so months at least!) things aren't always going to get done as quickly or completely as I'd like. Today could have been frustrating, I was so tired that after the boys had breakfast etc and Kai went down for his nap at 9.30ish...I had to go back for a nap myself. I actually found that I'd fallen asleep while trying to sneak in some prayer time. How's that to make you feel guilty and frustrated!!

But I am learning that it's best for me to accept the fact that this is a season of my life, not the state of my life forever. And I want to enjoy this time that everyone says goes by so quick. So I will allow myself a nap while my baby sleeps and my preschooler is at bunnings with my mum. And not feel guilty about the million other things that could/should have been done at that time. (and even try to just enjoy that Aaron did the fortnightly dinners menu and shopping for me - awesome hey?! - without getting all precious about it possibly not being done just the way I like it)

Tonight Aaron headed off the the trivia night at church while I kept the boys home. The idea is then that they've both had a good night's sleep and will be good in church in the morning. All day Malakai's breath has been smelling progressively worse though, not to mention his snotty nose and cough so he'll be coming for prayer in the morning - I'll be praying it's not an ear/throat infection :(

So I then thought...hmmm...what shall I do with myself tonight? My first inclination was to find an old chick flick and veg with some popcorn. But mum suggested scrapping...and although I felt as far from inspired as possible, I forced myself to scrap. With the goal of getting one page completed.

I DID IT!!! (for those of you who might have the june creating keepsakes mag I used the pattern on page 80 - can't believe I haven't used any of these patterns before! I LOVED using it!)


not the best photo of it cause it's taken at night but I'd never post it if I put it in the album without a pic first. the background looks grey but it's actually brown. anyway, I'm all excited and might even get another page set up to finish sometime this week.
