The exhaustion has set in. The last 2 afternoons, I have come home, sat down on the couch with the kids and fallen asleep. Of course, if I had never sat down to begin with I probably wouldn't feel so sleepy (I need to remember this).
I'm just glad that tomorrow is Friday AND we have a long weekend! I remember being so excited for these long weekends when I worked at the bank, but then Tuesday would roll around too fast, and it felt like Friday took years to get here. I sure hope that's not the case now. My days are so busy that I don't even have time to eat lunch, so maybe it will be different.
I'm starting to get to know some of the kids, especially the ones who have to take daily medications. I got my first hug yesterday, and it was from a little girl who didn't even have a medical reason to be in the clinic. That made my heart smile :)
Pray for me though. Pray for patience with the kids who come down EVERY SINGLE DAY because they stubbed their toe, or they fell down on the playground again. Or the one that comes in every day complaining about a stomach ache. I can't do anything for them, except to show them that I care and give them a little attention. I don't know these kids, so that's hard for me to do. Pray for me to be able to show them Christ's love and to be patient.
