Today I took the day off to deep clean the house and spend some extra time with Parker. Even though I have Saturdays off- I've reallized today what a huge difference even one more day off a week makes! I'm looking forward to my three day weekend.
I'm happy to say, I followed through with my plan and actually got the house cleaned as planned today. Parker went to daycare this morning for a few hours so I could get things done- I must say, cleaning goes a lot faster when he's not around! The funny thing is, he slept the whole time he was at daycare- so it was pretty much pointless for him to be there. However, he seems to be pretty popular so I think his teachers were glad to see him today- the girls tell me that Parker is a big flirt and everyone's favorite. It makes me feel extra blessed and secure in taking him there, knowing that he is loved so much!
I picked him up at 11:30 a.m. and we visted Nana Sue at her office. Parker liked meeting her co-workers and seeing the big space that Nana spends her time in! We then went to NCMIC to show him off to my co-workers... He was a good boy the whole time and showed his sweet smile for everyone there.
Last night we met with our small group. We are doing the Truth Project DVD series, but decided to take a break from it at last night's meeting. We spent time sharing with each other what the Lord has been teaching each one of us, His challenges and encouragement that we need from one another. We then spent some extra time in prayer, split up by gender.
It was really cool to hear what's been on everyone's hearts and minds and connect more on a personal level- not that the Truth Project hasn't been good, but it was nice to have a change of pace and some real heart-to-heart conversations. It's safe to say that the biggest struggle that most of us are facing right now is busyness and feeling like we are not spending enough time in the Word and in prayer. It was amazing to hear that all of us were in the same boat. I know that God really used this time to deepen our walks with Him and remind us that He is in control.
Tonight we are going over to Taylor and Lindsay's for some hang time and pizza- I haven't seen Lindsay since I found out she was pregnant- about 2 months ago. I'm looking forward to seeing how much she's popped out!
