today is the last day of my life of 2 years....monday i go back to work after staying home with my beautiful baby boy! he is 2 1/2 now and it is time...God has blessed me with the best possible situation to work in...i will be teaching and he will be attending the same school...i am ready and he is ready but part of me is still sad...where did my baby boy go? today, i will enjoy my boy, and go grocery shopping! :)

the tally is...

71 questions from @ 7.30 am - 1.00 pm... i kid you not, that is probably conservative b/c at the beginning i kept forgetting to count...it's good i love her! :)

questions!

i don't know if its a girl thing or a 5 year old thing, but my niece is the question queen! she was at our house today while her mommy was working and seriously- she talked constantly, one question after another. we were going to finish our walk and go back to the house and blow bubbles and she turned around and said, "what color bubbles can i have?" ?!?!?? i just shook my head, i don't even know what color bubbles i have!
as i type this i was thinking, i wonder if we drive God crazy with our questions sometimes...what will happen next week? how am i going to pay for this? is this person going to hurt me? what? who? when? why? how? i wonder if God just wants us to rest and trust- trust Him enough for today...and let all the questions rest knowing He has all the answers and we know Him....

she will be back tomorrow and i think i am going to try and count the questions- just for my own curiosity! :)

"no"

aaauuuggghhh! i seriously think i heard the word "no" a million times today! i love my little man with all my heart, but this "no" stage is killing me. we have to fight to do anything! it's enough to make you want to pull your hair out! and quite honestly, it's draining! i'm praying for this stage to end quickly :) can i get an amen?!?
