"I-do-it!"

We fly out to Toronto in the morning for a wedding, so what am I doing up at 1 am?  Go to bed Jane!  I will, I will, but not before I jot down a few things.

1.  Traveling with 2 kids with food allergies is CRAZY!!!!  How does anyone do it?  Especially when we're trying to fit everything into one gigantic red suitcase.  I think it's easier to check in one big bag then wheel 3 little bags around the airport.  Plus push a stroller with 2 kids.  What do you think?  Maybe I should have asked for travel advice earlier!  LOL

2.  Elizabeth started saying, "I-do-it!!!!".  I should change this blog's title - LOL.  It's so cute and hilarious that even though I'm completely irritated that she won't let me do, whatever it is (usually feeding) -- I still giggle every time I hear her say it!  (And BTW - feeding her is SUCH a MESS!!  She flings food everywhere with her spoon so more than half of it is gone by the time I try and get food into her...)

3.  It is much easier to beat myself up at the end of the day, for all the mistakes I've made with the kids, than to say, "Jane, God loves you.  Give yourself some grace."  And let myself receive that grace.  It is SO hard for me to love myself sometimes!!  :(  Need to work on this.

4.  Mental note to self:  Don't neglect husband.  Poor man makes his own lunch, folds laundry, and retreats to a corner in another room almost every night all alone with his Blackberry or the paper.  I'm so preoccupied with the kids that I'm not much support to him.  Sorry babys.  I'll try and be better.

Please pray for our trip if you remember!  Hope everyone has a great weekend!
