Rest? What's that?

Rest??? Well, with kids not usually something that a mother gets a lot of.  Started off on Sunday as I was trying to do that Wesleyan tradition of taking a nap..... Tyler had been back not quite 12 hours and I thought the boys were playing in the backyard.  All of a sudden I hear a terrible scream from Caleb... now knowing how Caleb likes drama I didn't jump up all that quick to find out what was going on..... until Lee went running through the house, outside and yelled Tyler shot Caleb.  Yes... tis true target practice on your brother was the name of the game.  He shot him twice with the bee bee gun the second time a little closer range which was the cause of the scream.  BOYS!!! 

Yesterday, didn't feel quite right but managed to stay at work all day.  However, today just couldn't do it.  I believe total exhaustion has taken over. (okay not really) but it did feel like it at 6:30am.  The boys of course were arguing over whether I was at home or not, which woke me up from my long slumber. The arguing has continued, so much for REST!!!  Some might call this a mental health day.  Mental sometimes is what I feel. (lol) 

One thing about being home,  the kids are playing their video games, Lee is at work and I actually get time on the computer. (NOT TO WORK).  I was catching up on some blogs my friends Carlee and Dani in Alaska (sisters).  They are especially close to my heart these past few weeks, Carlee had just found out that she has breast cancer right before we went on vacation.  Dani and her mom are trying to help out with Carlee's five children.  Please pray for all of them.  It makes us contemplate why God allows such things to come into people's lives that have HIM as their total reason for living.  Everything they do is for the Glory of God.  Carlee and husband Nathanial are missionaires to Alaska and Dani has been on more missions trips then I can recall, now helping in Nome, Alaska.  God is so good and has a purpose for each one of our lives.  Even though the days are rough sometimes He is there to carry us through.

On a lighter note the youth kids of our church have left for AYC youth camp yesterday morning.  I do miss my "niece" Pam Pam.  She has been such a blessing in our family over the last 9 months.  She loves camp.  We all wish we were there too.... but this year our work schedules would not permit.  Hope they are all having a good time without us. (boo hoo) I am to be resting so off I go.  Have a great day basking in the God's Goodness.
