what a week...

So last friday I posted the bbq disaster (I've since purchased a cover for it in the hopes that that might make a difference...?)

That seemed to mark the beginning of a week that continued in like fashion. I don't have pics of the oil-spill-scare-that-turned-out-to-be-seasol at Jeanette's house during the ladies morning tea but it was a good one for getting the heart rate up. It's just been one of 'those' weeks. Bit of fever/vomitting, bit of cold/flu, toddlers being toddlers and I start thinking the old familiar thoughts...'that's it, I'm going back to work full time!'


This happened when I was foolish enough to not strap the children into high chairs while I made an important phone call today.


My blessings are asleep and I am enjoying a few moments of peace and I wander in to look at my quilt top that I fought with earlier this week (lots of seam ripping and re-sewing - I should have known better this week!) and then I scream (with my mouth closed because there's no way on God's earth I wanna wake up those babes!)


Someone's been practising their cutting...I HAVE NO IDEA what I am going to do with that now :( and I'm so disappointed. But aside from being quite a shocker of a week, there have been a couple of really nice things - one in particular that I'll blog about soon.

God is good, and faithful. And His grace is sufficient for me in this season. It's when I fail to avail myself of that grace that I start to feel like I'm spiraling downward. But you know, I'm just really hoping next week will be better!

I can SOOOOOO relate to this post. We've/i've had a shocker also. Our kids have been sick too. I wanted to scream!!!! Daniel lost the battery for my mobile, drawn on my cream leather couch with blue pen & on the wall, spilt countless drinks on the tiles, (thankfully tiles!) oh and red cordial on the walls. Alicia asked if she could put a poster on her wall. I said no! she did it anyway and riped the paint of the walls and to top the week off she walked on the "new" carpet with shoes in my room and left a muddy trail. ARRRRGHH!!!!!
