I've Lost My Mind

 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.

  2. What 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!

  3. I was going on a mission and then become a therapist on my way to becoming a general authority (like general R.S. pres).
