I was still getting the dairy out of my system, so another fussy day with little ivy. It got to be super emotional right around 5 pm when I was about to lose it. Ivy hadn't slept more than 20 min at a time all day, and she was super fussy, overtired, and irritable. i had spent my whole day trying to get her to sleep, and my poor boys were completely neglected. Well apparently my limit had been reached, because the Lord stepped in. At 7 pm, the young women showed up at my door with cleaning supplies in tow. They were going to clean my house and watch my kids while i took a bath! I can't even explain how much this strengthened my testimony - The Lord was the only one who knew how hard my day had been.
Well in typical fashion, i asked if they would mind if i ran instead of took a bath. I needed to get out of the house. i ran around the water tower loop, and it felt amazing! It was still 9:30-10 min miles, but that was the first run by myself since i had the baby. I will be back in shape in no time. I came back refreshed and renewed and ready to face the next day:) |
