Yup, you read right, bathrooms! You see, the conversation comes up often around here. Not by us, per say, but by others. We have 5 girls, as most of you know. As well as myself and Steve. We have 1 1/2 bathroom. 2 toilets and 1 shower. Very adequate in our eyes. Not so much in other's eyes. We have a system. We can run those kids right through the shower. We can pick locks and turn on the dishwasher when people take to long of showers hehe (all in good fun.) It's all good. We share, we argue, we have good talks, sometimes we are silent. The strangest thing, for me, when all the kids went to school, was taking a shower in silence. No one asking me questions or to do things while I'm in the shower. I missed it. You see, I like our chaos. I like our, "quality" time. I'm ok with having kids lined up in the bathroom doing their hair. We know not to spray hairspray when Leah's putting her contacts in and don't flush the toilet when someone is in the shower.
Seems strange to so many. I'm sure if we knew any different, this would be craziness. But it's not. It's our normal. Steve doesn't even complain. He says, "it's fine." He even joins in with the hair brushing and accessorizing. I married an amazing man, that it seems, many people don't understand. :)
With all that being said, the amazing man got back into the fields on Saturday. I was sooooo excited for him. Until he came home, and realized how hard the combining was, with all the mud and corn stalks laying down. But today we got home from church, and he said, "I needed that." Time in God's house, meditating on His word. Reset so he can start again tomorrow. Playing in the mud, getting the crops off. God is good. Even if it's not our way, His way is better. Happy harvest my friends!
