I've been working all morning. 10 weeks ago, working all morning would have meant I'd be almost done. Today it means I've folded 3 loads of laundry and taken out some meat from the freezer for dinner and put in one load of wash. I've instructed my son to clean the kitchen.
And now the Challah needs to be made. - WHAT? It's not started yet? It's NOON!
But I'm exhausted - my feet are burning, my limbs have that tired - exhausted - like I just ran a marathon - and I'm suppose to start mixing dough and kneeding it?
I sure am looking forward to meeting this baby. I know having baby on the outside will not free up my time to get things done, but my body won't feel so exhausted all the time.
On top of being 8 months pregnant, I'm also suffering a cold. I'm struggling to breath and my voice is gone. I have that "lack of oxygen" feeling throughout my body... and yet I have so many things I need to get done today.
Last night as I lay awake, not able to get to sleep and too tired to read, I prayed, Please Father, let me celebrate your Shabbat this week, let me have the strength to go to service, let me have the strength to prepare a feast for my family in honour of Your Sabbath Rest. I think the Lord may have a different kind of rest planned for me for tomorrow, one where I sleep the day away while the family goes to service without me.
Now won't that be a fun way to spend my birthday! - I'll be 41
Oh Sombra, I am behind on blogging again and I missed your birthday. I hope it was a happy one! I started at the duckling post, and I still have a ways to go...

I am Sombra, and these are the stories from our house. We're a Messianic family where academics often take a back seat to the work and adventure of life.
