There are two sides to every story

My last post was about how sad I was that spring break was over. And about how much I would miss "The Others" while they were back in school. And those things are not untrue. But, I also have been enjoying the past two days.

It has been fun to have the time to focus on Lulu. We have been enjoying the beautiful weather...
Even enjoying a little picnic...

"more"


"please"


"yummy"

As much as I love one on one time with her, I fell asleep last night at 9pm. I'm thinking it was from being back on Lulu Patrol on my own. I know there is just one of her, but the job of protecting her from the imminent dangers of daily life tends to wear me out.

I also enjoyed a trip to Sam's Club with just one child in tow. She didn't ask for Sun Chips or Propel or gum or honey buns. (Last time I had "help" at the store with me, we totaled up how much it cost me to have this helper along. $14. I realize it wouldn't have cost me any more had I said "no" to my helpers requests. I'm a work in progress.) Neither did Lulu fight with anyone at the store. Of course, she also couldn't help carry in the groceries but she was a delightful companion nonetheless.

Of course, I have three baskets full of laundry to fold, a Bible calling to me and ministry responsibilities that have long been neglected. But I'll take it one step at a time.

And the next step is to enjoy the fact that it is 11:58 and I am blogging. 11:58 AM, not PM, that is. I dig that.
