Aaron lost his job yesterday.
I spent most of yesterday very frustrated, and I cried for most of the day. (I am a big cry baby) I spent most of the day on the phone with both of our mom's, in fact, I actually ran the battery out, and it started with a full charge.
Later that night, when I was all cried out, and suffering from the headache that followed, I laid my head on Aaron's lap, and he brushed my hair for hours. It really helped me to relax. Then when I went to bed, it took me quite a while to fall asleep because of the headache, and my mind was going in a million directions.
When I finally fell asleep, I slept well, and this morning I woke up with a new determination. I am going to try to think as positively about this situation as I poss ably can! So after getting the kids situated I sat down and came up with this list of reasons to stay positive.
She also bought these for the kids, and they are so excited to have them!
I am so grateful to have my kids! They are so sweet, and sensitive! Kyle immediately knew that something was wrong, and he asked my why I was crying. I told him that I was okay, and here is how our conversation went.
Kyle: Mommy are you hurt?
Me: No Buddy, Mommy is okay.
Kyle: Did you hurt your tummy?
Me: No, my tummy is okay.
Kyle: Did you hurt your back?
Me: No, my back is okay.
Kyle: Can I kiss it better?
Me: Yes, mommy would like that.
Kyle then kissed my shoulder, and gave me a big hug. Kenzie then joined in the hug, and it felt so good to have my amazing kids in my arms!
I am so grateful to have the knol edge that they will belong to me forever!!!





Heavenly Father knows you can do it! If he didn't he wouldn't give you this as a trial. I know as we are going through tough times it is VERY hard to remember but, it is all part of his plan for us. Hang in there! I will be praying for you and I am sending my hugs!
ReplyDeleteOh Courtney, I'm so sorry. That's rotten news. I know it's hard to believe that you'll ever get to the other side of this trial, but you will. You are so strong.
ReplyDeleteLove you! :)
