The end

I never did get day five wrote, we just get so busy and blogging everyday is a lot for this busy mamma with so many small children.

Well here we are the five day journey is done and we made it. I really quite enjoyed the week fully not expecting to. Something I have been working on ~ being more intentional with my days and with the children. I get busy caught up in daily to dos(they are so many) that at the end of the day as I examine, I'm mostly  disappointed that I didn't get that book read to them, teach her how to knit, or teach him how to bake those cookies. I didn't straighten her hair, help him read that book, or go outside and play.  You get it?

This week was different ~ I really don't know why, except I choose to put my focus and energy into them instead of the busy. It took me a couple days to get there, but I did and I enjoyed it...them...the week.

So what was the journey???
For, I think the first time ever my partner, my help, support, my love was away. We have been married and together twenty years, children for sixteen of those years and have never been apart for that long. Now some of you may be thinking, what's the big deal!  Well when you have this size of a family, you have a pretty serious routine and when you have to pick up the load that someone usually shares with you and do it alone, that's intimidating or maybe just scary!

So we're here and together again and it was a good week. We had good times and Gods peace!

Blessings,
