...it's been tough with jino gone. i've been an emotional mess, not to mention physical mess cause i'm not getting enough sleep. every time i think about him i start to cry, so far there hasn't been one night where i haven't cried. i know...i'm such a big baby!!! but really...when he's gone you realize just how much help he was...and i'm not saying he was helpful...cause he was...it just stands out more when he's not around. it's especially tough during those times that were "his" time....like bath time and reading time with papa, and when he went to get the mail or throw out the trash and taylor would always wanna go, or when's its around time for him to come home from work, or when there's songs that are sung that taylor knows papa sings with her...it's toughest at night...not just cause i'm a big chicken and i don't like to be alone...but those nights when taylor has called for papa...and one time she woke up, pointed to his side of the bed and said papa. so it's been hard. we are both sleep deprived. i can't sleep cause jino's not here and taylor can't sleep cause i can't sleep and cause papa's not here. it's tough not having the 2nd set of hands and not getting alone time to myself...cause all the mommies know that we need that time! and so i've been on edge, cranky and very impatient with taylor-and i hate that. what a challenge this week has been...and it's not over...jino doesn't get back til friday. i am so thankful that krissa has sleptover and that i got to sleep at my sis' and that she's staying over! not only do they keep me company at night...but they give me that little bit of a break that i desperately need each day!
anyhow...here's some pics of taylor of this week so far...
she loves to water the plants! ...and she definitely has MY calves!
she definitely misses papa...i caught her taking his shoes out of the closet and putting them on...
slumber party at kt's...she was sooo tired cause she didn't sleep well there...
meanwhile, back to the life of "selley homemaker"...haha, business is coming along slowly but surely...got a good amount of outside sales and MY VERY FIRST SWEET NOVEMBER SALE!!!!
it was a custom order...they picked the fabric, applique, type of top, size, length of skirt, waist size, etc. i forgot to upload a pic of how i wrapped it oh so cute. haha. i still need to go out and get some cute boxes to mail these in...or i haven't decided if i'm gonna stick them in a signature fabric bag that i make. hmmm...i'll decide by tomorrow cause i'm mailing it tomorrow. haha! praise God for my 1st etsy sale! this is fun! and my brother always said i should start an online business since i was a stay-at-home mom and i never thought i'd do it.

ah the outfit is way cute, good job on your first sale!! I'll continue to pray for you, one more day and then your hubby is home, praise God that He has sustained your strength throughout the week. Even when it was hard and you were tired, cranky, and on edge, God's grace abounded on your family because you were still able to be okay alone with taylor and see how Jino is a big part of your family. Oh I'm dreading the day when Caleb has to go on a business trip...hopefully I'll be okay as well! I'm really bad when he's just gone at night and I'm stuck at home =)
oh ya. i added the tail on the elephant. i almost forgot the tail. haha. i should post a pic.
