Thank you girls, for all of your wonderful prayers and support. I know that when it downpours like that, that it only will be for a time (just not sure if for a short time or long time). But always just for a time. And at that time...it was overwhelming and seemed like it was going to last forever. Things are "feeling" better. All of those worries and concerns are still there, I think I just adjusted to them.
JEP (DD initials) is sleeping better again. It must have just been a couple night thing. But man oh man, you throw that into the mix of "stuff" and you got a pile. But, she seemed to get over it. I am waiting for the next round of not eating, not sleeping, being cranky, runny nose, and fever to tell me she is teething again. I can just feel it coming on. Maybe it will be better this time around. It is hard getting that call in the middle of the day and week at work from the school (yes, I call it school even though she is only 9 months old) telling you that she has a fever and needs to be picked up and cannot come back for 48hours. Even though I know darn well it is just a fever from teething. I am stuck, nothing I can do, that is their policy. And I am half tempted, when I start seeing symptoms, to just feed her Motrin daily until that little white cap pokes through.
Did I just say she is 9months old? Wow...next week she will be. I cannot believe it. I laugh, because at 6 weeks, I was saying how small she is and how I can't even imagine her any bigger or moving around...and now I cannot even remember her small, being so helpless and relying so much on me. All of a sudden she is moving (scooting like a monkey) around, pulling herself up on everything, and wanting to be everywhere. I swear that was an overnight thing. It is complete black and white from 3-months ago...heck from 3-weeks ago.
I keep hearing people who have older kids (like 11 and 20 years old) say that they cannot believe how fast it went and how they wish they were small again, and not so independent. It is like all of a sudden they want to do their own thing and not rely on you anymore and be so...heck...independent. I just cannot imagine that right now. I think it was in Nicki's blog where she asked all the moms if they "remember the day you realized that your child really does love you more than anyone else?" Yes I do...and I am scared that one day that will a different story. I guess all you can do is clasp onto those memories and thoughts and pictures because one day, out of the blue, they will want to be their own person. Wheew, glad that is not here yet!
OK, so this weekend. Got a lot of stuff going on...again. Tomorrow it is supposed to rain, which is OK because DH is working and I have a ton of errands to run. Sunday, hopefully it will clear up, I can plant my annuals, we can get some yard work done, maybe go for a walk. And Monday, originally DH had to work...but no longer (that was a good news report) and hopefully we can re-arrange the furniture. Even though we won't be getting our new furniture for 10-15 weeks (I know aren't we crazy?!?!?), we are tired of Bella and Star being on the couch to look out the picture window. So we are going to move stuff around and get a better flow to the room. Hopefully we can spend some time "chilling" too. It seems like every weekend is full of going and going and going. We never get to sleep in or take a nap or just chill. Gosh that would be nice.
Well, better get back to work...got 2-more hours and then the weekend starts!!! Hope you enjoy yours whatever you may be up to!!

I'm glad to hear your feeling a little better. I hope you have a great weekend and get a chance to relax a little!
I am glad to hear that Josie is sleeping better and than you are feeling a little less stressed.
Mia has been slepping through the night, but gets up at 4:30 a.m., which hasn't been fun. She has also been fighting her naps and that is driving me crazy!!! I can't imagine how exhausted I am going to be when I finally go back to work in July.
It sounds like you have a busy long weekend planned!! I hope you enjoy it and that it is stress free and relaxing!!
Glad to her your little one is sleeping better. 9 months! Wow, time really does fly by. I remember reading the posts when you first had her!
It was good to catch up with you. I can't believe little J is almost a year! It seems hard to believe. I hope you three are doing well, and I hope you enjoyed the long weekend!
I am not looking forward to that day either!! It makes me so sad just to think about it. Thank goodness, that is many years to come for the two of us!
Glad to hear that you are doing better and JEP is sleeping good again. I know how hard that is when you have to work. The motrin idea sounds great to me!
I'm glad to hear that you are feeling better at least. Hopefully though things will BE better soon. I know how stressful that is for your hubby and you to have to worry about that crap at work Gary was really treated badly at his last job and they overworked him constantly. It is really terrible. Hang in there. Good things are coming for you guys!
Hi....I found your blog through a bunch of blogs we have mutually listed and I thought I would come out from the shadows and say hi. :)
I've been reading for awhile and just wanted to say that I enjoy your blog and hearing about your daughter and relationship with God. It's encouraging to me. :)
Hope you're having a great day!
Blessings,
Erin
