Well, another day just about in the books. My boss was sick today so I worked by myself. It's just him and I anyway. I don't like to work alone, I like to have someone to talk to and bounce ideas off of. I was in Tetonia running some gas pipe for an older gentleman name Laveer. He owns this cool rustic type cabin/house, that has an amazing view of the Tetons. He is finishing of the basement and i had to stub out for a future freestanding propane stove. It went pretty good all things considered. I've been trying to carry a prayer in my heart throughout the day, and I really feel like the Lord blesses me for my efforts. I mean sometimes instance blessing, like getting, a bear of a pipe, started; or just getting more done than I thought I could in one day.
Emily had to work tonight so I watched the girls. I call it babysitting, and Emily gets mad. She says it's not babysitting when they're your own kids. Whatever! They were good for me. We went through about a week stretch awhile back were Bobo would scream all night. I would end up just putting her down and letting her cry herself to sleep. She has been an angel the past couple weeks. She was laughing tonight when I was getting her tummy. Whitney and Gracie are, for the most part, always good for me. They know how stressed I get when babysitting. We have a routine. I pick them up. They keep Bobo entertained while I change and wash up. They put in a movie while I make dinner. They eat. I try to get Bobo to sleep(we're on our second movie by now). As soon as I can get the baby down they usually come sit with me while we watch the movie. I love that part. I usually try to get them to bed between 8 and 8:30. I been having them say their prayers too. They do pretty good. After they're down i breath a big sigh of relief. Probably sick of me rambling, but remember this is somwhat my journal also. Get to do it all again tomorrow!
