my life this week is full of boring moments. I'm overly tired and spend the day getting by. I recognise it as being pregnant because i was exactly like this with caleb. Except I didn't have caleb so i slept 10-12hours. But at the moment there is an almost 11mth little boy crawling around exploring his little world which is our lounge and kitchen. So I sit on the floor with him playing with his toys or lie on a couch exhausted...plus i do my housewife chores.
This week has been especially extreme because of the depressing winter like weather...dark, cloudy, cold, wet on and off throughtout the day...not the kind of rain that you can enjoy but just drizzling on and off. It doesn't really fill me with enthusiasm to wrap up in warm waterproof gear and take caleb for a stroll. I can't drive.
If i didn't recognise my personal signs of being preggy then I would probably pull my hair out at how mundane my life is. But I know this too shall pass. I just need to wait for the weather to change, for the weekend to roll in, and my energy levels to return. Plus my man can drive and we can get out and about without worrying about caleb being caught in rain or cold weather.
I am having coffee with my aunty tomorrow after house hunting in the morning. Then Sunday my cousin is baptising her 2 boys. So another family filled weekend. At some point I am going to take time out, sit in a cafe by a beach and just enjoy the fresh sea air. That always works wonders at restoring my soul.
It's funny but if i didn't know myself so well then all this could be very depressing. But I have a strong spirit thanks to the LORD and I know my coping mechanisms, thanks to the LORD :-)
This too shall pass.

This post describes exactly how I felt for most of last March! If it wasn't for my weekly women's Bible Study group on Wed. a.m.s I think I would have gone nuts!! But...sometimes in our mundane existance, it is a good time to draw ever closer to our Savior and Redeemr and just reflect on the blessings He has given us. It is almost time for me to write about this as it is soon Thanksgiving time here in the U.S. I think I will post something about this....you inspired me! Enjoy the weekend!
thanks Faith. will definitely read that post.
Oh and I visited the wordpress page of your pastor's wife - I could identify with most of her posts. Thanks for sharing that on your blog.
Have an awesome weekend too!
