I guess it didn't fully click until now how much of a blessing it was when the Lord told Adam, "In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread" (Genesis 3:19).
I miss work. I miss that go, go, go 'how am I going to get it done', 'so many things to do' lifestyle I was living a couple of weeks ago. I dream about vacuuming, cooking delicious meals, and playing with Colton all day. (i know, it is crazy--and no, they aren't giving me drugs. . .yet)
I'm sure there are some busy Mommas reading this thinking, 'ha, you come to my house and see how much you miss work'. And you are right, this life is SO much work. It's exhausting--but mixed in with the laundry loads, and the midnight feedings, the running to this event and cleaning up after that one is all the good stuff.
So even though it sounds like heaven to have nothing to do all day but lay around take it from me, it gets old really fast.
All the best as you start another week of work. See you tomorrow!

I agree. Even though I don't get everything done, and never will, it's still fun to try. Usually a nap is all I need, then I am bored and need to get up and do something. Good luck Hillary; hang in there.
Glad to see you are still pregnant! I check everyday, just so you know. :) Only one week from today and you get to be in Marshfield!!! I know what you mean about the work. I remember laying there thinking, "Pile of laundry on the floor that I've been looking at all day - GO AWAY!" But then I'd feel too bad asking Josh to do it because he was doing so many other things. I'll admit, when they would come over to bring the sacrament once a week - I would do a 2 minute get up and shove everything under the bed at least!!!
i had bed rest on my first pregnance and i didnt mind...the first few hours. sorry you are going through this tough time. heres pulling for you :)
Hillary, I love your gratitude journal. I admire you in such a hard difficult time that you are finding all that you are grateful for! I can only imagine how much you just want to jump up and start cleaning, doing laundry and pick up Colton. That has got to be the hardest. I still pick up Cooper a couple times a day and Cason A LOT. I hope you have some good reading material! Our lesson in R.S. on Sunday was on Faith. I couldn't help but not think of you and amazing amount of faith you are exercising right now. You are amazing and the Lord is going to bless you!
