Today, I have actually done fairly well. I got up a little late (7:15ish) but still spent some time reading the Bible and praying. I ate breakfast! The kids went down for quiet time at 2:30! Ahead of schedule!!!! I got some housework done. We ate dinner at 5:45. Now, we had PB&Js with chips and fresh veggies so cooking was much work. But still, it’s a victory!
The kids were in bed before 8! Their door would have been closed after prayer and lullabies by 8, but they both got very concerned about tornadoes. Like majorly concerned! I have no clue what sparked it, but they were both almost in tears about it. We had to spend 15-20 minutes talking about tornadoes and how it’s not very likely that our house would be hit by one. I also had to explain that if a tornado came, their toys and beds (DD was very concerned about her bed being swept up in a tornado) were not as important as their lives. I tried to tell them that the insurance company would give us money to replace their toys and beds and anything else that was destroyed by the hypothetical tornado. The DS went on to list all of their toys that DH had told him were hard to replace (so the kids would take care of them). Argh! Oh, to have a memory like that. 😉 I finally got them both calmed down enough to pray about their fears, and they agreed to go to bed!
I am writing this post at 8:30. I might actually get to bed before 11. It’s been a great day!
