So, for 24 weeks I’ve gotten up the God’s Little Explorer lesson plans on time.
But I just failed.
And decided to take a spring break!
March is not one of my favorite months–and today is not one of my favorite days (my dad passed away nine years ago today…and then his birthday was the 24th). I didn’t realize how much it was affecting me, but I’ve been tired and lethargic and mopey all week. If you are a praying person, I would covet any that you had for me!
In the meantime, I figured it would be okay to take a break this week–hopefully you’ll be doing all kinds of Easter activities with your little ones next week anyway!
(By the way, I have a page with various Easter activities for kids, too!)
I’ll be back with lesson plans next week. Thanks for being understanding!! 🙂
Tara H says
Hey, Stacie, I’ll definitely be praying for you!
Stacie Nelson says
Thanks, Tara! 🙂
Sabrina says
Praying for you…you deserve the break with all the wonderful things you provide for us readers! Blessings and enjoy the break!
Stacie Nelson says
Thank you so much!!
Tamika says
I will be praying for you.
Thank you for all that you do.
Stacie Nelson says
Thank you so much–I really feel blessed to have such sweet friends through blogging!
Shannon says
I’m so sorry for your loss. I do pray that you might have an opportunity to grieve.
Stacie Nelson says
Thanks, Shannon! It’s been nine years, so I wasn’t really expecting to feel quite so down–but I realized I’m still grieving the loss for my daughters. I know my dad is way better off–and not in pain anymore, but I would so love for him to have gotten to know my girls!
Amy says
I am praying for you too Stacie! I understand how the loss and grief can come up at unforeseen moments. Like for me this January when I switched the calendar over for the new year I discovered I lost my Dad 20 years ago this coming July. I was 15 years old and it’s soooo hard to see this reality of such a long time without him, more time without him than with him, on this earth. He never met my husband or my boys but I have the blessed assurance that one day he will meet them and know them. I thank God for that! Blessings to you and your loved ones!
