Monday Blues

I'm singing the...I want to see a blue sky Monday blues!  I realize we can always use the rain, but I'm so ready for beach weather and for blue skies to stay for awhile! Gray skies just make this artistic gal feel so blah!

We live near the coast, and this summer we plan to spend a lot of weekends at the beach. Since we can drive over to the beach for the day, it is a real blessing that we need to enjoy as much as possible! Especially since we do not know how much longer we have in this location.

As I've said before, David finishes up his Chaplain residency in August.  He has his resume' out all over the US...like literally hundreds of places!!! Who knows where God will lead us to.  We really love being in this city, and love our church.  It is so difficult for me to truly plug into a place and then have to uproot.  I'm sure military folks are so accustomed to this way of life. However, I am not very used to it at all.  God is teaching me to be flexible through these changes.   

We'd really like to be able to stay local, if possible.  David has an interview this week for a company that is "nearby".  If this works out, we would be able to stay in this city. He would have to drive between two different cities (living here would keep us right in the middle).  So we shall see how it goes.  Whatever God wants for our family is what we desire.

  

Monday

Today was a pretty normal Monday. We began early with home-schooling. Josh was difficult to get out of bed this morning... I started to get the cold water to drip on his head...

Jordan kicks in as mommy #2, and that really aggravates him. I have to remind her to let ME be the mom! ( Jordan, if you are reading this...I do appreciate your mommy type help sooo often! You know how bro. needs some space sometimes though;)

This morning Josh said he might get up if I would come give him snuggles and kisses. So I did. hehe, smooch! I'm so glad he is still young enough to want some mommy snuggles! I love you Jordan and Josh!!!

We showed the house earlier today. Also, we were supposed to show at 7pm, but the family rescheduled for Sat. Our landlord is working feverishly to get new renters in here to take our place. I'm sure this must be so stressful to owners of rental properties...I'm sure they need that money coming in consistently too. So, we are wanting to be as helpful and cooperative for her to show as often as possible. That way, they can get new renters lined up right away. We are hoping to be out by Oct 25th. Lord willing. That way, the new renters can be in Nov 1st.

Today David got a great compliment that was given to his boss from a nurse on the PICU floor. It was for David's support of a family who lost their child. He is so gifted with compassion. I'm so happy that he is settling in well at the hospital, and also very proud of him too! It is a bit stressful somedays on him emotionally to serve in the PICU (he thought Hospice was difficult-it is..but this is even more emotional)...God is stretching Him and growing him further in service.

Hope everyone had a beautiful start to their week! The rest of this week will be more packing... :o)
