Thank you, Abuelita!

Imagine taking care of two little, energetic, loud girls AND an adult who has low tolerance for noise. This usually creates a bit of tension in the house. It is difficult because I can send Cailyn out into the back yard to play, but I would have to go with Jessica and I can't leave Mom alone in the house. Do you see what I mean?



BUT, lately I have been staying with my Mom in Waco, KID FREE! Wow, what an experience that is. You see, Jason's Mom(we call her Lita--short for Abuelita) flew down a little over a week ago to watch the girls while I take care of my Mom. This has been a complete lifesaver.

On a side note: the first night I was staying at Mom's I woke to the sound of Jessica crying(she wasn't with me remember). I felt that I couldn't escape them, that they were somehow haunting me. I realize now that I was unconsciously wanting them with me.



This past weekend I drove home to work on a project for Mom and I couldn't believe how much I missed my little princesses. I just wanted to hold them for hours. I longed to hear their giggles and see their smiles. What a joy they are in my life. "They" say that absence makes the heart grow fonder. It is true!

Even more though, I missed my loving(and not to mention HOT) husband. After a week of not seeing each other, he held me as I cried almost to the point it hurt, then we talked for hours until we couldn't keep our eyes open. It felt so nice to just sit and talk to him. I have really missed that. It amazes me how just a tiny bit of love from him can make me feel so safe that I can release everything that I hold in when at my mother's house. I know that I would not be staying afloat through this trial without Jason. I needed to go home to re-charge for this week. I know that the Lord sent him to me to carry me through this trial. Thank you Jason for your constant love and care.

I apologize for the lack of pictures, but I have seriously not even touched my camera for at least a week. I will be better when life gets closer to normal. I have missed blogging, but didn't want to make every post a total downer, which is all I feel lately. Hopefully I will be back soon.
