I try to think of things to write about aside from myself, and really can't. Well, I can try to write a sort of stream of consciousness entry. What I think of as I think of it but that may just bore anyone that actually reads this drivel.
The sun is shining, I am not, neither is my house. I should be cleaning and all that but I don't feel like it. I am going to try and do something later but need to sit here and pound the keys for a bit.
I am having a 'I can't keep up with 5 people' day.
I did finish making the cobblestone dividing border yesterday. When I was at the HomeDepot getting the balance of the stones that I needed I was letting my sons help me by taking one stone at a time to the cart. I was taking the two at a time. Someone that didn't work there actually came over and offered to help me and ended up taking the rest of the stones that I needed to my cart for me. I was bowled over by the kindness of a stranger. This is how calloused I have become in general as I was going over in my mind why he would do this????? Was it because he thought I was pregnant? Was he trying to pick me up, no, he had a wedding ring on. I just kept thanking him over and over. Then as we were driving away I saw him going to his car and opened my window and said Thank-You again. I wish all my days had that sort of bright spot.
Why can't my kids just sort of see that they are leaving these giant messes behind and clean them up without me getting all frothy at the mouth about it?
Well, I guess because they are kids, do things that kids do and I need to let them do that and grow up in thier own time. I see that but at the same time get sooooo impatient.
Prayer for the day: Dear Lord, let me stop and enjoy the youthfulness that my children are at this point in time so that when they are older and not so cute I will not regret what we have lost together. Thank-you my Lord and Saviour!! Amen.
