God's grace is abundant

I have to say that God has been gracious to me this week. George has worked three 48hour shifts this month (he usually only does 24 at a time) meaning he's been gone 48hours straight in addition to his other job. I've had one of the worst sinus infections on record and haven't been able to to sleep but God has been merciful and we are surviving (tv and the wii help:). Seriously though, this has been an exhausting month having significant less involvement from my husband and being sick and I'm grateful that I've been able to take care of the kids in the midst of all of it. Tomorrow is their last swimming lesson and Ian has almost lost his voice from all the screaming he's been doing during his lesson. Poor Mr. Pat, so many kids hate him:( but he works miracles and since I've had to rescue Ian a few times from drowning already, I really need him to learn to swim!
