This week was our first week back to fall Bible studies, having been gone for the first two weeks since they officially began.<\/p>\n
I was leaving Tirzah Mae in the nursery, which meant doing all those things that must be done for other people to take care of her – stuff diapers so the nursery workers don’t have to figure out prefolds, fill a sippy cup with water and a dish with precut grapes since the nursery workers can’t breastfeed her, put her in clean clothing so I don’t look like the worst mom in the world…<\/p>\n
It hadn’t been a terrible night – wakings at midnight and 4, but ones where I’d quickly fallen back asleep after feeding and settling Tirzah Mae. <\/p>\n
When I got home from Bible study and had my list of usual morning tasks still to complete, I decided I’d forgo my afternoon nap.<\/p>\n
Eat lunch. Switch laundry, hang laundry, fold laundry and put it away. My eyes started feeling heavy, my temples started to throb. But I still had to rinse diapers, give the toilet a quick scrub, and get the mail before I could start on my afternoon tasks. <\/p>\n
“Grace to know your limits,” I thought – and began composing the blog post in my head (and then on the back of an envelope.)<\/p>\n
Now I must learn the wisdom to work within my limits.<\/p>\n
