just what the dr. ordered.

to be honest, i've been in a self loathing pity party lately. not too sure why. but i will tell you, it is anti-productive, self-destructive...and not fun at all!! i really think that the girls being sick has put a strain on me. me of all people? it's quite emotionally exhausting worrying about when they'll get better, keeping them away from other kiddos and cancelling fun activities constantly. see where the pity party comes in? it should be their little sick bodies that are strained, not me. but as a mama, i guess i'm just feeling it for them. and like i said on my facebook status, "beth is thankful the Lord kicks pride in the tush."

this week, we are headed out of town. just the girls and me (hubby has to work) to go visit grammy and papa (my wonderful parents). we'll get to be away for about four days and while we're there, we'll get to see my auntie from florida, celebrate my dad's 55th birthday and see my brother and sister-in-law's new coffee shop (and score some free coffee - woot!). i'm praying the new scenery and fresh faces will perk us up a bit! just what the doctor ordered.
