I'm watching the 2nd Bridget Jones's Diary.
Matt is probably just waking up.
I'm about to go to bed and tomorrow will bring 3 more sleeps.
I had all these thoughts of blogging every night while he was gone but I have found myself going to bed at a reasonable hour! Who am I?
So I've been to London. (Remember what I'm watching.)
I went with my Dad... I can not remember what year. I think between high school and college, that summer. I think.
I got the jet lag really awesome like.
I wish I could remember more of it.
I remember we rode a train from Brighton to London. I assume we rode it back to Brighton but I can't remember. haha
Should also note, I've never seen any of the BJD movies.
Ok, I should go to bed. Sorry I don't have something really profound.

Night One
I'm about to go to bed and complete "Night Two" but I had to write the following down...
Earlier today, I got sucked into my phone and nearly caught the food on the stove on fire.
A quesadilla to be exact. I mean I blackened it. Smoke filled the whole kitchen and adjoining rooms. I opened a window but zero wind meant no airflow. I put purification in the diffuser but still smoke was visible and smell-able.
Kids came home from school and one step into the house and they were whining about the smell. I couldn't smell it anymore. Coop began saying his stomach hurt and the smell was making it worse.
Side note: When I was a kid, I rode the bus. There would be times I would get on the bus and smell what I would describe as burnt french fries. It was awful but no one else could smell it. Every. single. time. I smelled that smell, I got sick that night or the next day. Every time.
So when he seemed uber sensitive to that smell... Made me wonder.
I took him to soccer but we ended up leaving early because of his stomach.
Got home and the two P's hit; poop and puke.
Got him in the tub with Epsom and lavender then straight to bed.
I was just on my way to bed but stopped to check if he had a fever. His body was really hot. Even the parts of him not covered were very warm.
I started praying and my favorite song came on his radio, "No Longer Slaves."
I sang it over him.
He got cool.
You read that right. His body was no longer hot. While I was holding his hand, him asleep, me singing... his body was no longer hot to the touch.
I can't stop smiling. Right before my eyes. Never had that happen before!
I'm gonna continue praying and continue battling the evil that wants to take him out.
Now on to Night Two and Day Two.

One More Sleep
"WHAT ARE WE GONNA DO?!!!" Cried my almost 6 year old daughter about her daddy leaving on a mission trip for 10 days.
"Ummm, same thing we always do.. Try to take over the world." I replied laughing at myself but was the only person laughing because I was the only 30 plus aged person in my car that got my joke.
Lots have asked if I need help.
I have no idea.
When Matt has traveled in the past it has been for just a few nights. I would mentally prepare for the things that could go wrong. I have a disaster plan. The kids were younger, crazy and didn't sleep. They are older now so the disaster that could go wrong, I'm not sure.
As long as no one calls an audible, we should be good!

Three Sleeps
Three Sleeps.
Matt leaves for Kenya.
I am incredibly excited for him.
People have asked if I am ready. I mean, how does one get ready to be single mom'ing it for 10 days? Not sure I can.
I am grateful this trip is during school. We will have our routine, the kids will be uber busy, I will be uber busy and I have no doubt the nights will be long but the days fast.
Matt has always wanted to go on an overseas mission trip. He loves his family so much it oozes from him but Jesus resides in him and he has felt a calling to go and serve.
Our church, First Baptist Jenks, has a family living in Kenya that we support. This is awesome because Matt and a group of people wanting to do good, won't just drop in and leave in 10 days. There is an established foundation of support for the people there.
Matt and the others will be doing some construction projects.
So yeah, three sleeps.
