So, a lot of you read my post about "mama guilt" that I posted on Monday (you can read it HERE) - and some of you sent me emails/messages to let me know you were thinking/praying for me, and I want you to know I truly appreciate it.
Yesterday, I got a text message from our babysitter a little before 6 a.m. letting me know that she was not going to be able to keep Annie Louise that day. Usually, this would be something that I would FREAK.OUT about. But not yesterday.
I knew that my mom wouldn't be able to keep her because she was working on that day. And B was a gazillion miles away in Ohio - it's not a gazillion? Oh, well it feels like it when your hubby is gone for a week.
Anyways, I would normally freak out when faced with this dilemma. Not this time. I knew that God had something in store for me, and I was going to enjoy every moment of it.
And what a wonderful day it was - we ate breakfast together, went to Target, visited with our friends Ms. Lauren & Ms. Emily, ate lunch at Cracker Barrel & did some pretty serious antiquing (hey, I have to train her early).
It was fabulous.
Yesterday, I did not answer any phone calls. I did not schedule any meetings. I didn't make any copies. An unexpected chain of events left me without childcare, but I didn't complain.
God knows exactly what you need WHEN you need it.
Yesterday, I was just Annie Louise's mama. And it was amazing!
