Women's Conference

Saturday night was Women's Conference and I was a little reluctant to go. I was completely exhausted from 2 weeks of no sleep and just didn't feel very good. Kelvin was very supportive though and told me that he really thought I needed to go. He went so far as to set up a guy's game night so they all could "watch the baby". (Yeah! Because that's what they were going to do.) I reluctantly agreed and got the baby all ready except her last bottle and left for conference. I didn't think too much about bringing paper for notes or tissues for tears, but a few minutes before it started I grabbed some paper from a flier that was on a table at the church. Then the first song started and I was instantly in tears. I had been struggling for a while with being a mom because Lydia was so upset and it seemed like nothing I did made her happy. This song put it all into perspective for me. It just got better and better and I was spiritually filled which I was sorely needing. We don't get to sit for long at church with a baby and I was definitely needing a spiritual uplift. It was a blessing for me to be able to attend and I am so glad that I did. I went home feeling that I wasn't a bad mom, I was just tired and struggling and every mom goes through that phase. It was nice to come home and have the baby asleep and Kelvin entertained so I could just go to bed.

Boy's Game night! Great shiner on Kelvin huh? He had a little "disagreement" with a guy on the train the other day. Just Kidding.....I was getting rid of the red eye and it discolored his face and for some reason wouldn't let me fix it.
