It did not help that Abigail had woken up at 6am that morning. I know on those type of mornings that it is going to be a LONG day. Really tried to be JOYful but when I know my hubby is not going to be around the whole day it is much easier to focus on the negative. I love my husband and his willingness to make some extra cash. I am thankful for that and I do find the JOY in knowing he is providing for us as a family.
Bubbles, playdoh, games, hopscotch, snacks, nap, lunch, dinner, movies, books, shows the day really seemed like it was never going to end. But, JOY, it did and we survived!
Only to wake up Sunday morning to do it all over again. 7:30am say goodbye to Daddy again. Out he walks and I'm left with two crying girls. No, no, no I'm not going to find JOY today! But, I did with my large Dunkin Donuts coffee that was "delivered". While drinking my coffee I decided we needed a game plan. While everyone in Eastampton was getting their driveways cleared ours was still a mess. So, I knew some "snow play" would do the girls good. Once the sun hit the front out we went! Momma shoveled, swept and cleared snow while the girls ran around. JOY we are all clear and we can leave the house after naps!
More JOY when Daddy got home with his "pay" and off we went! There is nothing better than breaking free after you've been stuck in the house! Chuck e cheese was the destination. Never thought I'd be so JOYful to be inside of Chuck e cheese! The girls had a great time running around and playing games (I even got to play a few with Anna, JOY!).
Now, another snowstorm on the horizon....hoping I can find JOY in that.
Stay tuned....
