When the cat's away

When the husband is away, the wife, kids, and dog play.

When The Man is away, we miss him terribly. Normally he travels, so being apart isn't too difficult. But, lately, now that he's living here full-time, it's hard for him to be gone. We miss him a lot! He's in Toronto and we wanted to go, but still, didn't seem like much fun without him there to entertain with us. (He's working all week.)

The Rockstar has kept busy by helping re-build our church's stage! He has had cuts, bruises, sore muscles, fiberglass pain, and sweat but has been a valuable asset to the church and all its endeavors.

We considered moving to another church. I'll be honest. However, as a couple, The Man and I feel we're not done with ours just yet. We have to have faith in that, and we do. So, we're staying put for the time being and hope it's for the long haul. It's our family and we can't leave, we won't leave.

The Princess is going to be five in six days! Her brother got her the Little Mermaid II movie yesterday and she got super-excited. Then, he gave her $3 which is amazing because he is not one to part with money! She started crying saying she didn't want money, but we think she may have felt it was in exchange for the movie, which it was not. Either way, we decided he can buy her a cool card with the money and she can keep the movie, which she's already watched 3 times since yesterday.

Life for me is fairly mundane. I stopped documenting my nightly dinners simply because we've had pizza for dinner and had Taco Bell one day. When the hubby's not here, things change. But, tonight we're back to normal. I don't have the camera (can't find it) so dinner pics will have to wait. I continue to walk on the treadmill I dragged into my living room and will also continue to watch what I eat.

At the end of last week, I fasted for 2 days. There had been so much clarity in my mind regarding our church and our decision to stay, and I think fasting got me to a place I normally don't go because of being bogged down by daily things. I prayed a lot those two days and surprise! My answers became crystal clear. For that, I am thankful. It does work!
