Patience Please

As most of you can probably tell, these days I feel like Im running low on patience. This morning is no different. Last night Eli went to bed a bit later, we figured if he was happy and wanted to play we were fine with that. It was only about half an hour later anyways. I said to my dear husband who gets up at 5:30a.m, "I get to sleep in tomorrow morning!" I shouldnt have said a single thing because its just my luck that when he goes to bed later, he gets up earlier. Half an hour earlier. This cold he's had for 5 weeks is back in full force and he woke up coughing. His nose is running like a tap, and on top of the cough as well as getting up earlier than usual, he's tired & crabby! So I put him back to bed. It's quiet for now, but thats usually how it goes. The calm before the storm. He's quiet and then decides he's not going to sleep. We may have to get out this morning.

Tomorrow is the big day. Braces day! Of course right before Thanksgiving weekend when we'll be eating a ton of yummy food that I may not be able to eat! So frustrating, but such is life! Having teeth pulled & braces is going to be a good weightloss plan! No snacking for me!!

Yesterday morning we took Eli into the Stollery to have his ears checked out. They're all dry which is great, and we should be good to go on our trip next week to visit my great aunt! We were in and out in less than 2 hours, and between my mother in law and I Eli was happy almost the whole time... notice I said almost the whole time?

So today Im praying for patience. Im praying that God would give me the strenght to get through today, and not feel completely emotionally and physically exhausted by the end of the day. And for those of you that have more than 1 child, how do you do it?!
