Day 446 - September 4 - Batching it
Well, we're officially quasi-sorta-somewhat bachelors. Yeah, I know Connor really is a a bachelor, and I'm not, but this weekend we're pretending ("I'm not a bachelor, but I play one on TV..."). About 10 minutes ago Cherié's plane took off for Spokane, where she gets a much-deserved long holiday weekend off. She headed out the door about 0430 this morning, and she won't be back until Monday evening. Granny's Resort and Spa is rolling out the red carpet for her, and she gets a few days to refresh and be somebody other than a Mom for a bit. Pray that the time does her good, and for safe travel there and back. Yes, I realize that if anyone should know that flying is safe, it should be me - and I do. Plus I realize that the same God who is in control of the rest of our life is in control of this, too. So just humor me and pray for her safe trip, OK! From my perspective I need her to come back!
So, Connor and I (with the help of Josh) are on our own. There's a prayer request for you! Seriously, that he will remain healthy and in good spirits; that I will be patient and able to do all the things that a) need to be done; b) I've watched Cherié do a thousand times (compared to my hundred times); and c) still feel inept doing my ownself. Pray that Connor will be patient with me as I'm not as quick as his mom. Pray that we get along!
It's thanks to your prayers, and God's answering them, that gave us uninterrupted sleep last night from 1200 to 0400 when we had to get up to get Cherié out the door. Four hours without interruption is almost unheard of, so that was a real blessing. Connor is still asleep, so as long as I can manage to stay awake and alert, we should do fine.
I'll let you know how it goes...

another opportunity for God's strength to shine in your weakness! ; }
I know you (and Josh) will do fine--I am glad that Cherie is at the spa for the wkend. Granny will be "good medicine" for her and I hope it does her back a favor, as well.
Praying...for God's peace and protection for all of you and for a time of great father/son bonding, too!
Cherie - have a GRAND trip. I'm sure it will be good to have a few days to rest and mentally refresh. Tex & Connor - I'll bet you are REALLY going to "re-appreciate" Cherie when she gets home (I know - not really a word, but you catch my drift). :o) Cherie - we landed in Spokane on the 4th as well, but not quite as early as you! We're not coming home until the 8th or I'd look for you in the airport. Take care, have a safe trip, and a nice visit with your family. Thinking of you always. Lisa S.
