Playing Housewife
It’s fun to go away, but it’s nice to come home too, especially to Charlie. I was so tired when I got in that I decided not to go to work on Tuesday. I slept in, did some laundry, cleaned a bit, ran some errands, and made a yummy dinner. It’s always nice to be home & take care of things here. I have no problem w/ traditional gender roles! I also got to call a few friends & catch up. Several of them are pregnant too & it will be fun for Elliot to have little buddies around.
In the evening I went w/ my mom to a missionary dessert for the women at their church. I enjoyed it a lot. It was good to hear about what is going on around the world, and a reminder to pray for the lost. Sometimes I can get quite caught up in what is going on in my own life - and just ‘leave it to the missionaries’ to take care of. Steph & I had a great talk about this - and I’m feeling challenged to be a brighter light.
I’m still getting ‘fluffy mail’ aka: cloth diapers & supplies from the net. Today I got some microfiber towels that are supposed to be super absorbant, maybe I need to get one of those dolls that pees - do they have those? lol!
Wednesday the party ended & I went back to work. Not so bad really, I only have 3 months left before maternity leave! Woohoo!
We have some water damage in Elliot’s room from the rain so we haven’t been able to start painting or anything. Hopefully the HOA will act quickly so we can get on it. I’m excited to start decorating.
My sister-in-law is due in a few days…can’t wait to get the call that my little niece or nefew is on the way!!
i hope all goes well with your pregnancy. my sister is pregnant right now also with her second child. god bless! peace and respect!
