We have had friends over everyday this week. There is a slumber party happening as I write this. I have also dropped two of my little ones off at a neighbors for a doctors appointment. I am so thankful to have a house full cousins and friends and have ladies who will let me take their kids so they can
run errands, clean, cuddle a new baby, or go to a bible study. Those are all things I have needed to do at one time or another and it is a lot easier without all the troops some days.
It is not my personality to ask people to watch my kids. I don't ever want to inconvenience anyone or worse yet... drop off my little ones and have them be disobedient. The hard truth is... that as my family grows I am going to have to
let people help me out or we will have a hard time managing by ourselves. The other problem is that I love to bless others by being available and I need to let them have the same chance to bless me.
Bring on those little ones...
I'm in the same boat. Sometimes I feel guilty for asking other people to help...but I know I love to bless other moms that way too. :)
ReplyDeleteYou have to remind yourself of that or you always feel bad. I don't want other moms feeling bad when they drop their little ones.
DeleteI don't know if I ever said this to you, but I have said it on more than one occasion to Julia . . . but the offer stands and is open to ANY of you sisters for you to leave your children at my house when you need to go to Pineview (Amish) Store . .. I'm a few miles past it but I can appreciate the worth of having an empty cart to START grocery shopping with and being able to look without saying "no", "put that back" & "get over here"! Soo, PLEASE keep that in mind. The extra 4 miles are worth it :)
ReplyDeleteLindsay, I will take you up on that some time in the near future. Plus we won't get to see each other at bible study anymore so it will give us an excuse to sit and chat!
DeleteWait, does this mean that there's another Mac??
ReplyDeleteYES! Lucia Colette. Beautiful little one.
