So we had the Caris baby shower tonight. The kids were up at 6 am, and I was on my feet ’til now. Next time I will hire a babysitter for the day to take them out of the house while I get ready and run last-minute errands. Lots of tantrums today. Discipline abounded. I feel like I walked 10 miles. My feet and legs are so sore! And I have to finish prepping for class tomorrow, so I can’t just collapse in bed. I think the shower went well. Six girls came. Jen took pictures, so when I get some from her, I might post a couple. I just now realized that I forgot again to pray for them as a group. Oh well. Hopefully it was worthwhile. I’m starting to feel burned out, so it’s good that we’ll only be around for one more, and then I’ll be forced to take a break. Off to read Keats and hopefully fall asleep quickly.
UPDATE:
Here are some great pictures from Jen—




You inspire me. I wish I could have been there to help… Well done, Emily. Thanks for doing all that!
I had a lot of help! I just let myself get stressed about such things! =)
