House is cleaned...ummm.....I guess I do have 5 hours 'till bedtime...humpf

**Prayer Request**

Well, I'm not sure how many people actually read this (I think it is just more fun for me!) but occasionally I'll get a comment about someone who read my blog... So I feel like I can ask ya'll to pray!

With only 5-6 weeks left in my pregnancy - I'm looking forward to getting away with Nick and not the boys (even though I love 'em both to death and am going to cry like a baby in the morning when no one can see me!). BUT - Satan is trying to attack me with anxiety about the safety of our children while we are gone or even our safety.

* Can you pray specifically that I can trust God and have faith in Him to keep us all safe? Also that He would keep us safe, of course! I know that the fear of death in a vehicle accident could potentially be with me the rest of my life because of my mom's accident, but I want to try to overcome it!

Thanks for your prayers! You can look forward to some fun pictures when we return next week!

I am a loyal reader too! I'll be praying for all. Don't feel bad this is very natural. I hardly ever left my kids because #1 who could I get to take care of 5 kids and #2 I was like you and feared too much. I regret that now. I wish I could have left them some it would have been good for them and good for Tim and I.
Have a great Trip!!

Thanks ladies! When I said "occasionally I'll get a comment" I meant verbally! Lol...I always appreciate your comments on here too - but I didn't mean that as a complaint! :) Thanks though!!

I'm feeling a bit calmer...Thanks for the prayers!

You are probably gone by the time this gets posted, but I'll be sure to pray for you, too. That Sight and Sound Theater sounds really neat. We are heading out that way in 2 weeks. Might call and see how you enjoyed it!
