I'm glad I'm not the only one who is constantly "blogging" in my head. Pretty much everything that happens during the day turns into a blog post. Sadly (well, probably fortunately in most cases) those posts never get written.
BUT I did want to write about my tender mercy from yesterday. I know I receive several tender mercies each day, and I'm working on recognizing them, but yesterday was especially important to me.
DH started his job yesterday. In SLC. He's gone about 10 hours of the day. To be quite honest, I was a bit panicked on Sunday night. I was really getting anxious about how I would survive alone all day with my two sweet girls. I mean, he's been there when I've made dinner, entertaining the girl or holding Sweet C so she wouldn't cry. A few weeks ago Sister Strain in our ward commented that as a mother, being organized is essential to having the Spirit in your home. I can see why. If I'm not organized with my time and tasks, then things get hectic, and for me, too much stress means I'm less likely to feel those gentle promptings.
Anyway, I was worried.
But something amazing happened on Monday Morning. I woke up COMPLETELY at ease. I had no anxiety whatsoever. Even now I'm not sure why I was so anxious. The last two days have been great. Not so easy, I don't know that one day as a mother will ever be "easy," but I felt strong and capable. I am a Mother.

I know what you mean--you get used to having your husband around and then you're not sure if you can handle it when he's gone, but it ends up being okay. I felt the same before Brady started his job, but I'm sure it was intensified since you have a new baby. I'm glad you are doing well.
I was thinking about you yesterday for that very reason! (I know, I should have called!) I'm glad that it is going okay.
And a great mother you are!
