Getting ready for work?

I don't know but if you ask me...I already work!

This evening, I was glancing through some books I have read in the past and I came upon a book by Jen Hatmaker. I read her book in one of my Bible studies a few years ago and we continued to keep reading them...she is a stitch. Here is a quote she wrote in her forward to her book Make Over: A Modern Girls Bible Study, Revitalizing the many roles you fill.

"For every woman who has held a baby while stirring dinner, taking a phone call, helping a kid with homework, thinking about work the next day and gearing up for sex that night. May this study be the equivalent of an unexpected housekeeper, chef and secretary showing up on your door step..."

Come on now. I know you laughed!

Getting my family of three out of the house for a simple trip to Wal-Mart takes planning, precision, and a whole lot of energy!  All I needed was 2 t-shirts, sugar, and oil. I know I could of just gone myself and it would have been easier. But Torrance needed to get out of the house and Natalee well....she is so full of energy! So it was decided....we are ALL going!

Getting Torrance down 3 flights of stairs is interesting....one of us carries the walker(me). Then the other instructs Natalee to not jump off the steps(me). Then we(me) get to the car and systematically unlock the following...driver door, Natalee's door, trunk, and passenger door. Natalee in and buckled, Torrance in. Walker in trunk, I get in. Drive to Wal-Mart. Get out at front of store, open trunk, assist Torrance out, get Natalee out, close and lock doors. Torrance and Natalee go in so he can get his Wal-Mart Mobile. I park the car and walk in. I get a cart and put his walker in it. Now reverse the whole process coming home!

And it is raining.

God bless my husband! When he feels good he needs to get out of the house! He has been such a trooper.
I am thinking of pimping out his walker. I am in the process of making a walker bag for him...denim. I have scraps of old clothes and material around the house...He might get some bling too...I might even find a way to bling and pimp out his two wheels on the walker!

I look forward to starting my job tomorrow. I am really going to like having another form of human contact...even if it does mean it just to give someone their coffee. I imagine that I will run into a few angels each day to remind me of His grace. I look forward to it.
