It's Raining..in my Bathroom!

So, little did I know that right after starting this we would have another great Mommy moment at our house. We are currently in the midst of potty training Grace. And in general you can gauge my sanity at the end of the day based on how many pairs of pants she has gone through. For example the other day was like a 5 pair of pants day- a little crazy!! So she had an accident and I put it in the toilet to try and help her know what she is supposed to do...then i flushed. (Bad idea!) The toilet starts overflowing-like Niagra Falls. Grace is jumping around screaming. I head to the basement to our other bathroom to try and find the plunger. I run...by the time I get there I hear water-uh oh the waterfall is coming through the ceiling. (The upstairs bathroom is above the one in the basement) Well, needless to say I had a big mess on my hands.

But this got me to thinking. Its kind of like what I do with my time with God. Sometimes I loose track of where he is at instead of keeping him close by, then when I really need him I scramble to find him. (Just like the plunger) I want to have my relationship close with him always not just when I am in a crisis, or having a 5 pair of pants day. I have clearly learned an important mommy lesson- 1. Keep a plunger in all bathrooms. 2. Spend time memorizing God's word so I can find it in my heart instead of trying to figure out where I left my Bible the last time I took time to read it.

Funny! I was glad to see you blogging, I feel like you are so far away. Grace sounds so big! They are growing up way to fast!
