As lay in bed last night wishing my children would go back to their normal sleeping habits, I came up with a plan to change my life. The plan was complete and well thought out. I was also going to implement it this morning. Now, for the life of me, I can't remember what it was. I have definitely lost my mind. Sleep, that will change my life for the better. I think I am going to crawl back into bed and sleep of my amnesia. Library day is usually a disaster anyway. I'm sure the house will still be standing when I wake up--maybe. Ok, maybe I won't neglect my children. Maybe I'll just push through it until Sweet Boy naps and then join him. Better idea.
This sweet boy has been such a boon to me the last few days. He does his homework without a fight and his funny, sweet comments bring a huge smile to my face and warmth to my heart. I cannot imagine my life any other way. If I had pursued the plan I'd had for myself in my teens then I wouldn't have my children. Good thing my plans never work out and God gives me what I really need, not what I think I need. I love you, kids.
kids! can't live with them can't live without them. They definitely are a blessing.
ReplyDeleteWhat was your teenage plan? I had one too that thankfully didn't come to pass. Kids are way better, although I need to remind myself of that more often!
ReplyDeleteI was going on a mission and then become a therapist on my way to becoming a general authority (like general R.S. pres).
