C'est la vie

"That's Life"!  Today i've been faced with a major power outage and a sick baby.  Neither of which can be planned for.  The day began with a 6:00 AM phone call informing me that the power was out at the child care center and that the dryer was smoking. huh?  Maybe i'm dreaming.....(pinch) nope, i'm awake.  You see,  i've  recently inherited my Mimi's child care center, and lately it's been one thing after another.  My Mimi was the greatest lady i've ever known. She was patient, loving , kind, accepting, friendly, giving...the list goes on.  Losing her is the hardest thing i've ever had to go through, but knowing she believed in me inspires me to press on.  Turns out the center was struck by lightning, so for now, the girls and i are hanging at my parents waiting to meet the electrician.  Until then i'm busy doing what i do best, being a mommy.  Saylor unfortunately caught the bug i had last week and is (fingers crossed) napping , after lying around all morning (in her momma's arms of course).  Meanwhile, Miss Lily Grace has decided she's "not tired" and is busy putting all of her "babies" in time out because they won't go to sleep (this kid!).  It would be easy to focus on the negatives of today but i'm choosing to focus on the good.  Today i am healthy. happy. and loved.  Today i have a roof over my head. two beautiful girls and the hope of Jeremiah 29:11" For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."  and that's good enough for this momma.
