So today is a lazy day. I slept in and have lazily stayed in my p.j.'s. I did, however, jump out of bed when I heard my favorite person's high pitched voice at my door (pre-9 a.m.) bringing me this: Can you tell how purple and sparkly it is from the picture? I love it.
I love the daily posts. Could you extend the goal through 2009? And it is always comforting to hear other moms have lazy days, too. Folding that load of laundry constitutes major productivity in my book.
No, no, keep the daily posts coming! I'm glad you had a fun day. I never fold laundry unless Ryan is there to help me. I'm so unproductive. And I only have one kid.
Our little Joy passed away on January 20, 2008. She was 2 years and 3 months old. She died from a rapid onset respiratory virus and passed away in her sleep. She was in the care of her loving grandparents at the time while her parents and older siblings were in Disneyland.
I am so grateful that I started blogging 9 months before she died. These memories of her a a real treasure.
"The Lord compensates the faithful for every loss. That which is taken away from those who love the Lord will be added unto them in His own way. While it may not come at the time we desire, the faithful will know that every tear today will eventually be returned a hundredfold with tears of rejoicing and gratitude."
~Joseph B. Wirthlin
"Parents who have surrendered the sweetest and smallest flowers from the family's garden need to remember our Heavenly Father. He has promised a special reward to those who now suffer in silence, who spend long days and longer nights through their trying times of bereavement. Our Creator has promised glory. He said, 'For after much tribulation come the blessings. Wherefore the day cometh that ye shall be crowned with much glory; the hour is not yet, but nigh at hand.' (D&C 58:4) That promised glory includes the blessing of reunion with each child who has left the family circle to help surviving members of the family to draw nearer to God. Those children still live and are a heritage to the Lord."
sometimes all you can do in one day is fold a pile of laundry (yesterday it was ironing brook's work shirts---that was it for me!)
