All in a day's work...

  This one's going to be short. Today, the good Lord has blessed me with the best gift possible, a household help! After almost three weeks of toiling like a madwoman, juggling kids, work at home, and work at the office, I got me a new household help. Thank you Lord for your kindness... I got down with the flu, complete with the body aches, the headache, the barking cough, and the runny nose and I still had to work to keep my end of the bargain (Smokeshade was cooking and taking care of the kids while i'm at work!). I learned a lot from this experience and every time I feel like shouting at our household help for some minor mistakes, i'll remember this experience and relive that moment. Borderline insanity... hehe... The greatest thing i've learned though is patience is a virtue... I know it's not one of mine, but i've learned to embrace it for the past three weeks. I love my kids and I love Smokeshade for being so understanding... Even when I ruined two of his favorite shirts while doing the laundry, not to mention Evan's ruined shirt too... Gotta go now! I'm sleepy but happy... I'm floating on cloud nine even if I have no money.... Tehee.... Goodnight folks... Sleep tight and don't let the bed bugs bite...
