For the first time in almost 550 posts, I really don’t feel like blogging tonight. Sure, sometimes its hassle, and there are lots of days that I wonder what actually keeps me writing on here, but never have I felt quite so unmotivated as this. Is that even a word? Anyway, I don’t feel like being here.
It was, however, a great day. We FINALLY got ourselves to church. People were concerned. Were we sick? Was everything ok? Yes, we just had a lot of company several weekends in a row and then took a few breaks due to health or inclement weather. We are back. Dekker say in the sanctuary for the entire service for the first time in over a year, so yay him! And yay to my mom, who pretty much kept him entertained with books and things the entire time. She definitely made a sacrifice for him this morning. Laela was calm and quiet and slept on my shoulder for a good chunk of the service. She was sooo beautiful today, in her furry boots and new sweater dress that she got for Christmas.
After church, we got to go spend the day with my parents like we used to do before we added a second child and life picked up. It was calming and comfortable and it tasted delicious. We even played cards while Dekker napped and Laela played on a playmat. We really had a nice time catching up. And to think, we’re going to be staying there most of this next week! I can’t wait 🙂
We hauled out around 8:00 and listened to Christmas music on the drive home. Dekker is sleeping now, and Laela is not. She has been way too good today, sleeping like crazy, which does not bode well for night. Sleeping all day equals not eating all day, so that usually means wakeful/eating time happens in the night. But we’ll see. She borders on flawless so maybe she’ll surprise us. We’ll love her either way, obviously.
Ok, all done with this. I want a snack and a bath and some tv. Hopefully I’m more exciting tomorrow.
Merry Christmas Eve Eve Eve.
