From dawn to setting sun a mother's work is never done!

Those of you that know me well, know that I like my house to be clean, organized and de-cluttered. It's amazing how a person that only weighs roughly 15 pounds, can't roll over or sit up yet can change things so drastically!

I haven't dusted since Emalee's been home and there is the never ending pile of laundry that never seems to go away! Not only that, but somehow these little bitty clothes are adding up creating more laundry to be done!

Emalee's grieving quite a bit today. She grieved over 2 hours last night and today it was about 1 1/2 hours before she finally zonked out for a nap! I really thought she was getting a little more settled, but last night proved me to be wrong. On top of that the boys are starting to act out more than they ususally do. We're trying to spend as much quality time w/them as we can, but they are still a little stressed with the change our family is going through.

Tonight we're going to see "Bible Man" live at one of our local churches! The boys are really excited about that! If you don't know anything about Bible Man, he's kind of the Bat Man of Christian cartoons! I'm sure the boys will really enjoy this, but I worry about how Emalee will be. I don't think she's up for a baby sitter, but the boys are really needing me to go too. Nothing like feeling pulled in different directions, huh?

Since it's Easter weekend I probably won't write again until next week. We plan on coloring eggs tomorrow and making the Easter Story cookies tomorrow night. Sunday we'll go to church and after that I'm not sure what we'll do. We may go out to eat, but we're still just playing it by ear w/Emalee.

Hope you all have a great weekend celebrating our risen Savior!

Hang in there Heather. All of that work can wait. Just do what you can and enlist your family to help you! They are all big enough. Happy Easter to all of you and I will help you with your house when I get there. I love you!
