Several months ago I was seeing a Christian counselor to work through a few situations I had going on in my life. (I thought I had stress THEN... HA!) But I digress...
One of the things she tole me about myself (which is entirely TRUE!) is that I have a hyperactive sense of responsibility. I think everything is "my job" to do or to fix or to work out. When, really, it isn't is it? She encouraged me to let some things go and remember that my primary job in life is being a wife and a mother to my family.
So, with that being said, I HAVE TO get this off my chest-- I am SO overdue on thank you notes it's embarrassing! We've been SO BLESSED by so many people. I was about up to date before Nico got here (after the whole Josiah hospital business), but then once Nico came to us-- forget about it!
The worst part is that I have a huge long list and I have even written about half of them. But since I haven't addressed or stamped them, there they sit... in the pile with the unwritten ones and the list.
I also have Nico's announcements to send out but I just can't get to them! arrgh!
So, I guess all this is to say... PLEASE be patient and don't think I am ungrateful. That couldn't be farther from the truth. The "urgency" of every-day life is just intervening...
And now, well, with our trip to Haiti coming up and 'the approach'... I'll try to tuck them in your Christmas cards with Nico's announcement... (if I even GET to Christmas cards this year.)
*sigh*
