I know many daddy's travel all the time but ours doesn't so therefore we are just not used to it... he is home fairly earlier in the afternoons, off at least one day each month (you know those teachers get off all the time... ha... wink, wink) and the summer... therefore he is home a good bit, helps out a lot (more than i give him credit for) and this momma depends on him... i am one tired momma... i love my babies to death and would not trade anything in the world for them but I am tired from doing all the day to day activities for a whole week by myself... these sweet babies are glad that this is their "last sleep" before daddy comes home and momma is too! I told him I needed a shirt that said... "I survived a week of single parenthood"! :)
And because richard has been gone all week I have really been thinking about families who their daddy's travel a lot for work or are in the military and gone for a long time, and those precious families that their daddy has already gone home to be with our heavenly father... i have said an extra prayer for them... i don't know how they do it!
This week in our community/church we have a family that their daddy is coming home this weekend; he is in the military and has been gone at least a year... as i saw the sign hanging from her house and the one hanging in "olde towne" it brought tears to my eyes... they have three children and one is younger than brylee and the other two are older than jackson... i just can't imagine and i am so excited for them... god bless this sweet daddy and family... 
On a different note... i want to share my "happy" i bought myself yesterday... how cute is this shirt... i just love it... it is so me... my favorite lines are "thinks mac and cheese is a vegetable, likes her tea sweet, and loves her momma and thinks her daddy hung the moon"... it is so soft too! 
Last but certainly not least... today is National Day of Prayer... remember those you love in prayer! 
Thank you Jesus our daddy will be home soon!
Wishing you all a wonderful weekend... we have lots of fun things planned and I can't wait... be back soon with lots of pictures and updates too!

Cute blog~I am a new reader! I love the Southern T-Shirt...I'm an Alabama girl too. I very much agree with you on the "Daddy doesn't travel" thing. I am at home all the time with our 9-month old and we are used to Daddy being home every night and not having to travel with his job....and we like it that way! I do not know how some families do it. I thank God for blessing us in not having to do that. We LOVE Daddy being home at night and days off during the week and for all of his help at our house too!
ReplyDeleteGlad your husband will be home tomorrow!
Let's see if I can comment here. Don't know why mine won't work... My cousin's wife commented on a post last week but maybe it is just now on the "fritz". Try posting as anonymous...??? So glad Richard will be home soon!!! Oh and LOVE the shirt! I saw one I wanted the other day that said, "Peace, Love and Sweet Tea" :-)
ReplyDeleteLove the tshirt... so cute! had fun last night! Glad RP is home safe.. have a good weekend.
ReplyDeleteI don't know why I got on your blog, I usually don't do anything except FB but as I read yours, I cried the entire time while reading, that is so sweet. Loved reading about Mother's DAy and your family, Enjoy every minute with them but don't ever feel guilty for having YOU time. We have to have time to ourselves to be better moms:O) or we would go InSaNe! Enjoyed breakfast, need to do it again soon.
