Back to Life...Back to Reality

Today we are back into life full swing. We are starting back at schoolwork today, along with Dr. appointments, visiting with friends, and everything else. I was hoping that this past weekend was going to so incredibly easy, relaxing and smooth to prepare us for today. Well, I was wrong.

Saturday was a great day. We got to spend some time with one of my best friends and her soon to be little girls. It was a great time of fun and enjoying each others company. The kids were great and well behaved which made things super easy for me. Saturday afternoon we had some family time at home and ended the day by grilling out. That was how the whole weekend was supposed to go. Easy. Smooth. Stress Free.

Yeah right!!

Sunday came and like usual, Sunday is a whirlwind day for us. This particular Sunday was more so than most. I played the 2 morning services at church, and Jon was at work, so I had to take the kids super early to church. They did pretty well. But you know how sometimes it just takes one bad, off hand comment to ruin your whole morning? Well yeah, that happened. I'm not sure if it was something I was meant to hear, or if they didn't know I was there, but the comments made put me in a foul mood. It took me most of the morning to snap out of it, but by lunch time, I was feeling okay and ready for the rest of the day.

Now the problem with playing the morning services is that I only get about 2 hrs at home before I am back at church to get ready for the night service. Considering that this isn't an every week kind of thing, its not usually a huge deal. The kids were excited to go back to church, and that ALWAYS helps. So we get back to get my gear and something has grown legs and walked away. Cue foul mood. So I have no choice but to do without it for the time being. We head over and I set up what I can while the kids play. Tay has a wardrobe malfunction right before we start practice. Okay, no big deal. We deal with it and I'm back. Amara spills hot chocolate on the concrete floor. We clean it up. Amara walks outside the building and gets locked out, Tay finds her a little bit later. Then later, of course, they BOTH decide to go outside the building and get locked out! (the whole time I'm on stage assuming that they are in the building playing like they are supposed to be and can't see that they're locked out). So...I'd say its probably 15 minutes later that my friend finds them locked out. Tay is crying (and has been for a while). *sigh So now I have to discipline Amara for not obeying and calm Tay down before I take them to their classes. (are we having fun yet?!) I get a call that my belongings have grown legs and walked back (yeah! a highlight to my day!). When I pick up the kids Amara had thrown a chair and a fit, but was supposedly okay now. Yea, no. I get to her and she was throwing another fit. We calm down and go home, have dinner and go to bed.

Oh....but its not over yet!

2am Tay wakes me up and says she threw up in bed. Oh....the joy! So that was the end to our weekend.

Today is Monday. A day that I'm choosing to be a happy, joyous one. I know that this determination will get tested today. But after the weekend we had, it HAS to be a great day! I can't handle anything else!

Habakkuk 3:17-18
"Thought the fig tree may not blossom, Nor fruit be on the vines; Though the labor of the olive may fail, And the fields yield no food; Though the flock may be cut off from the fold, And there be no herd in the stalls-- Yet I will rejoice in the Lord, I will joy in the God of my salvations."

My song for the week. Enjoy!
