answered prayers!!!!

well, my prayers have been answered! today after dave got home from work, he asked to talk to me, he very casually told me that he has postponed his climbing trip. he has instead decided to two or three shorter trips instead, maybe later this month or the beginning of next. i quickly realized that it had more to do with the yucky weather than it did with wanting to be home with me, but i do not care. he isn't leaving for 10 days and i won't be swamped by myself, sick with 4 kids. i don't care the reasons, i just know that god answered my prayers, i didn't have to beg with dave or threaten him or anything, it just worked out. i feel like i can breathe again!
