Teething baby. So. Very. Tired.
Heavens.
This week has just been exhausting. Not to be all vague and stuff but I'm gonna have to be all vague and stuff.
I've basically been in an amusement park of emotions. Not really sure who was in charge of the dips and turns but it certainly wasn't me. And it wasn't the friends who were on the rides with me.
One on side of the park, the roller coaster. We'd be on our way up a hill thinking This is awesome! There's a light. We're coming to a new moment of inspiration! Only to find out it's got a gigantic valley on the other side. And we plunged over it hanging on for dear life. Then some twists and a loop or 24 in a row.
Absolutely none of it was done with our hands in the air and laughing till we cried.
Oh, there was crying but it wasn't the tears of joy kind.
But then across the park was sort of a haunted ride. It was ridiculously fast at first only to basically slow down to a crawl. Now we're trapped on a ride we'd just rather be done with but we can't get off just yet. And right now we don't know how the ride will end. Will it come to a screeching halt after a huge plummet or will it just keep going at a lazy steady pace for a while?
That ride has been a little scary and a whole lot confusing. A few tears but mostly just feeling around in the dark wondering where and how it will end.
Along the way, I've been sending up messages to as many people as I can for their prayers. Some folks for the roller coaster and others for the haunted house.
And the teething baby in the Fun House was the icing on the cake.
I have spent more time on the phone, texting and FaceBooking (that is so got to become a verb like "google" has) this week than in the past four combined. Seriously. I'm not much of a phone girl but you do what you need to do.
So honestly, this week I am very grateful to all of those people on the other end of those texts, phone calls and FB messages. Including the ones on the ride with me. They are my family and whatever they need, I'll do what I can to make that happen.
I just can't make the rides stop. Only God can and since He gave us free will, we're sort of at the mercy of other humans and their actions.
If you have a few spare moments, would so appreciate your prayers for the Roller Coaster Ride and the Haunted House Ride. And the Fun House too although as some point those darn teeth have to come in. Oh please let that be so!
Don't want to end on a vague note though! There is some great news!
Baby Abigail gets to go HOME on Monday!!!! Please pray all goes well this weekend. They have their stay-over Sunday night. Take a look at Abigail's latest pictures. Isn't she just adorable?!?!?! THANK YOU for all your prayers and support. What a blessing you all are.

Love and hugs...and what a roller coaster it is! Thinking and praying and yes those teeth will eventually come in! I promise! Luke had 8 for what seemed like forever and then all of a sudden he has a mouth full! The molars are the most fun! NOT! Love you!
ReplyDeleteAww sorry to hear about the roller coaster, ugh the roller coaster. Not to long ago I blogged about that dang thing myself. But the teething...Yea thats always an up down kinda thing. Frozen pineapple slices, popsicles, a wet wash cloth, and teething tablets (amazon mom is the only place i can find them now got 3 bottles $12 pretty good deal.) Thats how we survive teething in this household!!! lol
ReplyDeleteI wish I could tell you how often you are in my thoughts and now in my prayers. The past couple of years have been huge in terms of life changes for you and your family and for some reason our society now expects us to be happy all of the time. Our minister just recently preached about the Jesus mask. All I can tell you is that you are loved, loved, loved. Keep the faith. I know you will.
