One of the those days...

Elijah is sick and crying non-stop. Rock-rocks are not helping. I reeeeally feel sorry for the poor little guy, I just want to make him better.

Gracie is so trying my patience today every time I turn around. I think she is wearing padding.

House is a wreck.

Our new septic system is being installed today and the excavator operator(no real fault of his own) accidentally whopped off half my apple tree, peach tree and birch tree today. I really liked my trees.

Our water pump quit working. Notta. Nothing. Is the well dry? Is the pump toast? It's a hot day and my animals are thirsty, the toilets reeeeeally need to be flushed and the dishes are stacking up at amazing speed. The girls are down at a neighbors filling bucket to bring home.

Hubby, being frustrated, is on his way home from work early to help solve problems. It is hard to have so much going on at home, people working, problems coming up, pumps not working..when you can't be there.

I am sitting on Gracie's bedroom floor listening to my baby cry in the next room while I keep Gracie in bed, in case of emergency I can get any child to sleep in 7min with this little trick and I had to pull it today.

I keeping thinking of the scripture "Be content with such things as ye have for He himself hath said, "I will never leave you nor forsake you" It is one of those days where contemplating salvation through Christ is the only thing that keeps me a smiling Mamma..as long as I have that, I have everything.
