Well, Ella may be sick, but she still knows how to have a good time! Last night I asked Gracie to help me with the laundry. Her job was to take the clothes out of the dryer, put them in the laundry basket, drag the basket to our guest bed, and dump them out so I can fold them, later. Half-way across the kitchen floor her basket got about 23 pounds heavier. Ella had climbed in while it was in motion. That girl could be a stunt woman someday. She laid that pretty little (albeit not her best hair day, but give a girl a break, she was sick) down on the warm laundry and played "nigh-nigh." They both got some good laughs out of it, and the chores got done. I love Ella's ensemble, a shirt, sweater, socks and an apron. Funny girls...
Ella didn't do much better last night. She slept in her bed from 9:30 to 12 am, and then with us the rest of the night. She kept kicking and hitting and tossing and turning and crying. Seriously, I don't know how anyone can sleep through that, buy Hubby can. For me, two nights without sleep, yuck. I'm reflecting back to what I learned from Gary Smalley at the simulcast. I told God this morning, "Lord, I'm helpless, HELP ME!" Give me what I need for this day. Thank you, LORD, that you provide all we need."Strength and dignity are her clothing, and she laughs at the time to come. She opens her mouth with wisdom, and the teaching of kindness is on her tongue. She looks well to the ways of her household and does not eat the bread of idleness. Her children rise up and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her: 'Many women have done excellently, but you surpass them all.' Charm is deceitful, and beauty is vain, but a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised. Give her of the fruit of her hands, and let her works praise her in the gates." Proverbs 31:25-31 ESV
