Psalms 107:1"Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good. His love endures forever"
FINALLY! A peaceful, pleasant, wonderful, and even FUN evening at the Lowe house last night! Talk about the perfect evening! Here is how the evening went......
Got the girls home-- Jaylee wanted to play outside, and Jentri was sleeping. So, I got to spend some one on one time with her. I then went inside to start supper, while I had the chance because at this stage of life, you take advantage of every single minute! Jentri kept napping, I got supper 75 % complete, and she woke up. I stopped cooking, and went outside to nurse her while Jaylee continued to play. After nursing, Jentri stayed in her bouncer and was content! I went in and made a new colic remedy of "cucumber juice" and also finished supper. Jentri continued to be happy and supper was ready! I actually got to sit down, AT MY TABLE, with Jaylee and eat our dinner. We even got to say our dinner prayer before eating! (This is my next goal with her is learning to pray before meals!) I sat right there and silently said "TYJ!" Jaylee and I had a yummy spaghetti supper and then back outside she went while I did the dishes. I also got both of our lunches prepared for today, because Jentri was still happy! I then went back outside and played some more with Jaylee while Jentri just looked around, happy as could be in her bouncer! It was then coming upon 7 o'clock and that's bath time right now at our house. Bathtime seems to be the WORST part of the evening. I don't know if it's because we have all 3 hit the lowest part of our day, but bath time has never gone off without one or the other, and most of the time, BOTH girls screaming and crying at some point! I got Jaylee bathed, then Jentri.... and Jentri ended up being the one to cry. However- it was time to eat so this was probably the reason because it wasn't her screaming cry. Got both girls in their pj's and then gave Jentri her round of medicine, this time a dose of the cucumber juice. WOW! We never screamed- she nursed and went right to sleep! Jaylee was asleep by 8, Jentri was down by 9 and I got to have an HOUR of ME time! I actually got to upload photos to facebook (hasn't been done in a month)! I even got to take a bath and shave my legs (hasn't been done in 2 weeks!). I even got to catch up on the news feeds in facebook (haven't been on there in a week!) Then, talked to my husband for a good while, then I was off to bed and tucked in by 10! We all three got a good night's sleep, and Miss Jentri didn't wake up until 5 to eat!
OK- so enough of the play by play-- overall-- TYJ for a WONDERFUL evening!! It continued onto this morning and both girls were happy, pleasant and ready to go to Miss Robins! I am not sure if it was the cucumber juice, or my change of attitude, or trying to have more patience.....but whatever it was.....I'm praying for a repeat of this EVERY night!!!!!
