It has been tremendously busy at our house. I have been working a lot the last three weeks, and I just finished a five-day-in-a-row stretch of working.
I am exhausted. The shifts have ranged from 4½ to 12½ hours. The last three nights I didn’t leave work until 12 AM and didn’t get to bed until almost 1 AM. In between working we have squeezed in Father’s Day, Seabreeze, preparing for vacation and a smattering of school. I commented to a friend yesterday how I believed I had exhausted my coping skills and was running on fumes.
My kids have been excellent. I am so blessed to see how God has used my unusual schedule to reveal some fruit in them. The evenings Mama has worked the kids have been directed by Daddy to get up and play quietly in the morning until Mama got up.
They have done awesome.
This is what I was rewarded to see in the girls’ room when I went in this morning.

They were doing school with their stuffed animals! See how each one has a book to read? My heart was so warmed. Isn’t that cute?


Speaking of reading – Skeezix is really taking off with reading. I am so grateful.

Hope you have gotten much rest! There is just something so wonderful about siblings….they “get” each other.
