just another manic monday

Howdy All! I wanted to get on and post a few things before I forget and off into the black hole of my memory they go! My daughter has officially learned her Alphabet and can sing it all the way through on her own! It floored me the day when I was driving in my car and she was just singing away in the backseat, A to Z, all by herself. And then she sang it again and again, for Dada, Nana and Papa. She is still very shy about singing it for others. I was so excited, but it also made me cry as I realize how quickly she is growing, learning and maturing, even from just day to day the differences I see. I know I have said this before but I am very blessed to be able to stay home with her each day! Thank you Lord for your provision for our family and Thank you for giving me a husband that is a hard worker and a wonderful provider!!
Summer is upon us here and I am throughly enjoying it! This week a good friend and I are starting a playgroup, just to have an opportunity to get together with other mama's and their children. I think this will be good for Kaihtlyn and I; she will have time to interact with other children that are outside of our family members and I will get to spend time with other likeminded women. I'm praying that God will bring the right women to this playgroup and that we will have cohesiveness and be able to have a time of encouragement and bonding. I hope that we can not only encourage one another in our daily lives and all that it brings but also in our walks with our Creator! I'm so blessed to have the friends that I do, God has placed many Godily women in my life to encourage me and to challenge me to grow closer to Him!!
I'm pretty exhausted tonight as my day was filled with grocery shopping after not doing so for 2 whole weeks, our cupboards were looking pretty bare. I think I wore my daughter out as she was eating lunch after we returned home she looked at me and said, "I want to get my jammies on and go nigh-night mama! (pause) Mama, I'm going to take a good nap!" And she did indeed! Maybe I should have slept too but I wanted to sleep well tonight so I resisted the urge. I did get in a good walk-run at the gym this evening, which sucked out what remaining energy I did have. Thus I better get to bed and rest up for a wonderful tuesday that is packed with "things to do and people to see!" "So to all a good night!"
