One week into home with only the hatched. If I did't have this darn sinus infection i think I might be able to get some things done. I have swept under the sofa. Got Camille's room spring cleaning under way. Placed an Easter decoration out. Last night I was feeling so crummy and tired of listening to Camille's whining that at 6:30 I told Madeline I was going to bed. When I woke up at 8, Camille was in her bed asleep, Madeline was doing homework, and Lucas was hanging in his room. House under control, even when I wasn't. It's a good thing to have break.
When we were in Vegas Todd kept asking or requesting, I'm not sure which, if we were going to take a break from foster care. He wanted me to make sure and get off the call list because he knew if I got a call I wouldn't be able to turn it down. Our case manager was her on Tuesday and she also thought a short break would be good for us.
Did I mention that when we were in Taos over spring break that I gave Todd my iPad and asked him to go to the wifi spot to download a book or two for me. Without any directions he chose, Outlive Your Life by Max Lucado. The book didn't download all the way do it wasn't until we were in Vegas that I got the download. In summary, Mr. Lucado is building on the principals in the book of Acts. Everyday Christians. Then he drives home the point of feeding the hungry children of the world. I told Todd that he is sending me mixed signals. The book is fuel for my desire of foster care. We will take break but I have no doubt that that is exactly what it will be a break. God speaks to my heart and I know that as an everyday Christian I am to feed the hungry children at this magnificent table I have in my kitchen. While I am certainly at peace with a respite, especially while I take my antibiotics, I calmly yet anxiously await what He has in store for us.
