I cheated!

Yes, you read right, I cheated. I couldn't take it anymore. I stood in the kitchen for 15 minutes today and wiped down the counters and rinsed some dishes. I can hear you gasping now. I just had to get up, I was going crazy. Now I have to deal with Paul when he comes home and wonders why the kitchen is so clean. But really, the crumbs on the counter and in the microwave were beginning to drive me insane. So you see, it just had to be done. I will do better tomorrow, I promise.

Alicia,
Well... I am glad you are honest! Is your conscience getting the best of you that you need to confess :) I should scold you, however, I most likely would have done the same thing. Hang in there, you only have a few more weeks. You can do it! We are praying for patience, peace, and that this week goes by quickly. You have done an amazing job taking care of your little one! Soon you will receive a very special blessing!

"I can do EVERYTHING (even lay for several more weeks) through him who gives me strength." Phil 4:13

"Look to the Lord and his strength; seek his face always!"

When I come next week, I will clean all the crumbs off your counter & clean out your microwave! You can sit & chat with me while I clean your house! Looking forward to seeing you next week!

Wow, 41 more days. I think i would have done the same thing, only sooner. Way to go, hanging in there. Making some food to take to Lois, today she gets another treatment. She will not feel like eating, let alone cook. Trying to get her to keep up her strength. Take care, and we can't wait to hear the good news when he/she gets here.

I'm laughing out loud at this post! I can just visualize it. =) It reminded me also of when I was on bedrest and Ty would come home and wonder how the mail got in the house when I was by myself all day...er...uh...what?....I tried to convince him the maillady was very thoughtful and delivered it straight to our door...but...uh....he didn't buy that story....ooops!!! Sometimes you JUST CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE! Get me out of this house, off this couch!!!!! Glad you can be up and around a little now, I read your updated post just now. =)
