Yay!

The kids are in bed and Kellan's home. I'm grateful that that is a rare enough occurance that it automatically constitutes a date night. For us that usually means treat and a movie, we're kinda boring but its what we like. Tonight we're watching "Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy." Yay!

Yesterday was a completely counter-productive day. Everything was going great until about 4:30 when everything I'd accomplished all morning and afternoon seemed to be undone by my children within minutes.

As I was trying to get dinner started I looked out my kitchen window to see Brother Anderson weeding my garden. Our poor garden usually gets put on the bottom of the to-do list, so you can imagine how often it gets any attention. It's lucky to get water. So it was no small job to weed the entire garden.

How grateful I am for their help and that it is one of the few things my kids can't undo!

A little perspective goes a long way. I'm grateful for those who have helped us see the big picture. It seems that everything could, afterall, still work out. Possibly better than what we had hoped for. And if it doesn't this time, then it will eventually.
