Living God's Dream for You: An Extraordinary Women Devotional
By Julie Clinton
see relatedAlways be prepared
This snow has really been fun. As long as it is just snow I am not worried about driving etc. My 4 wheel drive has been through 25 feet of snow unplowed so I am never worried about getting stuck. Unlike my parents who have been without electricity for a couple of days now along with the other of 100,000 people in the southern part of the state. Luckily they are equipped with kerosene heaters, gas grill, battery tv and radio. They said they are fine even if it is awhile before it comes back on. My husband parents are in the same boat but no heater and all stores are sold out up to two hours away. They have no gas grill so I think their situation is a little worse or it seems. So I have learned that the kerosene heater and other battery powered stuff we have that takes up room in the garage is a must, even if we use it once it is great to have. I don't think we think about a disaster happening. My mom says that luckily they had kerosene because the stores and gas stations all ran out of kerosene so some people have the heaters but can't get the gas. So I told David to go fill up our kerosene just so we will have. I am never worried too much because I can go a mile and get to Walmart, drug stores, gas stations but I never think that they only have a limited supply of stuff that everybody needs. I have been thinking would I be prepared to go without power in this cold weather for awhile? So I have been making sure I am prepared even though we hardly ever get ice storms etc. you never know what could happen. This week we have only gotten out once to go to the library. It is so nice not having anywhere to go. I just never seem to get cabin fever. I have been trying to be more relaxed on cleaning my house. I try not to vacuum everyday but as I sit here I see all the crumbs under the coffee table etc. I know they aren't going anywhere I am just trying to except them. Savannah has been doing so well with no diapers during the day. She hates diapers so it isn't hard. I have to struggle to put one on her at night and when we leave the house. I know she can't hold it all night, she drinks way to much before she goes to bed. When we are out it is hard to get to the bathroom in 6o seconds or so and let me tell you in Kroger she is yelling she has to go poo but I can't find the bathroom. I hate to say, just go in your diaper, but I just tell her I am looking for the bathroom. I think sometimes she is so advanced in some areas and other times I think she is behind schedule on things her age. Like she has never slept in a room by herself and she will never wants to be left alone with a group full of children. But David is so relaxed and says, "well I love her sleeping with us and cuddling at night because I don't get to see her that much". So if he likes it I am not worried about that. I figure whatever is easiest for her to go to sleep is fine with me! The nursery at church David stays in there with her. We do leave but we get paged to come back every time cause she gets hysterical and won't calm down. She does do fine sitting in church but we feel she needs to get used to her class. She is fine if she stays with our neighbors, friends, and family, the only difference is the number of kids....? But eventually she will get used to her church class. They have lesson time, snack time, playtime, so it is very organized. David said last time she participated in everything and he was just in the sidelines which before she just wanted to be held. But this Fall she will be in some preschool class and she will have to adjust. I did sign her up for Tumbling Two program which I think she will have fun. I was looking up what classes she can do in the Fall and I was like oh my gosh she will be three and we have so many choices and parents don't have to attend. So hopefully she will get used to that fact that I will come back and get her. Oh my, free time to grocery shop, sewing, what will I do:) Savannah is sleeping for once during the day:). The last week or so she had been falling asleep around 6 or 7 at night while I made supper and then she would eat supper and be up till almost midnight. So now she has an early nap she may go to bed around 10, which I like. Don't worry she gets plenty of sleep she wakes up between 9-10 a.m. on most days. I just never wanted her to wake up at 6 or 7 in the morning so I made sure her bedtime is later...which works. Plus David enjoys spending time with her and he doesn't get home till around 8 at night. Well I am have plenty to do before Savannah wakes up, which should be any minute.
