Withdrawal

I'm going through withdrawal! It started this morning just thinking about being away from my children!!

My awesome in-laws asked the kids to go camping with them. They have an RV and our friend, Kevin, got them a spot at the The Wilderness Lodge at Disney. I dropped them off this (Tuesday) afternoon. Thursday Kevin's getting them in to Disney. And Friday morning I get to pick them up.

They always have such a great time.

What am I going to do, you ask? Well, while I'm not drying my tears, I have 10 chairs that I started refinishing during our Winter break that I am determined to finish. If I actually get those finished, I have a gift card from Christmas to my favorite clothing store that I'd like to use.

Thursday night, before my Bible study, Roddy's going to take me out on a date. He says it's a surprise and he's got it all planned out.

And hopefully I'll get some posting in, too.

So if you think of me, pray for safety for my sweet children. They'll be swimming at the pool, playing in the water and fishing at the lake and, of course, a whole day at Disney. I'm not a worrier. I prefer to pray to the only One who really protects them.

Enjoy the moments, my friend! Accept every little break as a treasured gift, hand-designed by God, for your (and their) refreshing.

I have one wonderful friend who insists that she simply does not feel the need to have a break from her kids. But I like to remind her that sometimes they might just need a break from her. :)

Just imagine the joy of their homecoming! What a blessed moment that will be. (My favourite thing about being away is that homecoming welcome - nothing makes a mom feel more valued than her kiddos greeting her after a couple days away.)
