I'm scheduled to go to a weekend writing workshop at the end of the month. Pray for me as I leave my husband with boys ages 5, 3 and 2. I've never left them before so please pray for us all.
Also, things have gotten a little ugly regarding the workshop. It's a Christan fiction workshop but we were instructed to purchase secular works of fiction to read and bring. One by Ayn Rand set one participant off. She's sending angry emails out to everyone going. I'm not familiar with that author so cannot really comment. Anyway, pray for unity and for an atmosphere that fosters learning or else I've paid for big headache and a long drive.

VBM, I'll pray for a sense of peace for you in leaving those little ones behind! (Like my mother-in-law said to me when I left my 3 boys with dad for 3 days for a conference..."Even if they eat nothing but pancakes and cereal while you're gone, they'll weather it.)
I hope that the workshop will give you a chance to not only learn about your craft, but to also recharge as a mom and come back to those kiddoes with some fresh energy.

In my kids case it will be the dollar menu from McDonald's. On vacation my husband will spend money on attractions, rides, etc but won't spend on food. He makes us eat from the $ menu the whole time. I feel so nasty at the end of a trip with him. He's not going with me on this and I will be eating at the hotel b/c the workshop has only short breaks. He told me to pack ramen noodles and ask for a bowl of water. (He was just kidding.) I'm looking forward to recharging as well as letting my husband find out what his fishing weekends feel like on my end. *ha ha ha* No, that wasn't me laughing.

LOL! Mmmmm. Ramen noodles steeped in hot water. A delicacy. Well, I do pray that everyone gets a good dose of education from the whole experience. Enjoy the weekend!

Getting nervous about leaving my kids. They will be fine--I might not make it.
Oh also, pray for my books to arrive. I ordered 3 books from half.com that I'm to take, but only one has arrived. The mail's already come today, I will leave before it comes Friday, so they have to get here tomorrow.
