Tonight

Tonight, I am tired. Very tired, in fact. But I got pockets made and out into a dress and I redid the invisible zipper on that same dress. I still need to add another invisible zipper onto it, but it has the other work done on it, so I technically can wear it now, if it comes to it. I actually really like this dress and I want to wear it. But I have to be careful about it, because I can’t nurse on the left side without taking off the whole top of the dress. Thus the need for another invisible zipper. But I’ve got to buy that first, then I can put it in. Anyway…

I’m exhausted. I asked my mom to consider coming early tomorrow so that I can exercise before the massage I have scheduled – don’t worry, not only is it at the massage school where massages are less than half the normal prices, but it’s with a voucher we purchased on discount two Christmases ago, so it isn’t costing us any money this time. But I’ve now not gotten to bed at all at a reasonable time, and it wouldn’t surprise me if I don’t really wake up slash get up until after she gets here.

On that note, I’m kind of stressed to go to sleep. Some people came into our neighborhood last night to steal cars. They stole our next-door-neighbor’s brand new truck out of his driveway. It really scared me to hear that, because my husband leaves his cars out front filled with important and valuable things all the time. Maybe not filled with them, but the items are definitely in there. It would be more than the sadness and the hassle of a stolen or broken-into car, by a lot.

Dear God, please, keep our possessions safe and in our possession. Keep us and our home safe and well. Make us happy, healthy, holy, and together on our family, please. Guide us clearly with this plane and job situation, please, and promptly. Thank you for these opportunities. Help us to be the people you call us to be, our best selves. In your name, we pray. Amen.
