We are slowly settling into a routine here without our rock. I say slowly because time seems to crawl with Jon gone. The last 3 days are the longest 3 days I can remember in ages.
I’m getting everything done ok…but I am kinda in a funk. Like I’m just going thru the motions. Constantly praying for patience ;). Which is being answered…because I haven’t so much as yelled at the kids yet! I know, amazing, huh? That is partially due to the fact that they are all still eager to be helpful. I’m enjoying this phenom while it lasts…I don’t imagine it will last long!
The webcams have been a HUGE blessing!! Jon talks to the kids every morning while they eat their breakfast and every evening before they go to bed. The drawback to the webcams: Jon knows I have only done my hair one day since he left. It’s just more effort than I can convince myself to make to get dolled up for a teleconference! Hardly conducive to making him miss me!
I’m sharing a link to a recipe today:

I made these Chicken and Dumplings for supper tonight and a miracle occured. ALL THREE KIDS LIKED IT!! Not a single one complained or bulked. No one left the table hungry refusing to eat what I’d prepared. In our house, that is an unparalleled success!!!
I love you all!
Hang in there Miss Thing :)
