Well, I am home today for the second day in a row. I will talk about that in a few. First, if you haven't noticed(which is funny I am talking like someone will be actually reading this, oh well) anyway, I changed some stuff around. The name for one because that is me, learning to see it ALL as JOY. Yes, my boys are still monkey see monkey do but it is not my whole life. My whole life is HIM even though I may not do a very good job of focusing on HIM all the time. I am learning what to do and how to do it every single day which is what I want-- to be a life long learner. Also, I just got sick of the blue it seemed to be a downer, also those winter pictures are nice in February not in May. The flower picture was taken by my hubby who I think takes great pictures! But is it too huge (the picture, that it).
The stomach flu has hit our home. Poor Carson he started throwing up Monday evening and was up most of that night with it. Marc stayed home Tuesday with him. Then yesterday, he seemed to be on the mend but then had another episode yesterday afternoon. Daycare has a 24 hour no puke policy so I am home today with him and Marc (who started his own puke fest last night). So far Carson seems much better but that is how it seemed yesterday too. I just hope Jackson and I can stay clear of it. I have to say of all of the sickness I am the worst of handling this one. Ah the Joy of Motherhood.
Worst yet is that tomorrow we have an all school field trip to the zoo, can not be sick. I haven't been able to go to the store for groceries plus we are celebrating double birthdays on Saturday for Jackson and Alex. Do I have a cake ordered? Well no, I have to be able to leave the house to do that. I am hoping to pick up Jackson after school and be able to do that today before baseball practice tonight.
Speaking of practice, this is such a busy time right now. Birthdays, Anniversaries, practices, games, work, etc etc etc. right now life is BUSY! I hate it because the busier I become the less focused I am on Him. This is an area I need to work on. Balance. If anyone actually reads this and has some suggestions I would welcome them gladly. I do know this, I am grateful and thankful for these celebrations of life and love even in busyness they are blessings. Maybe I am learning a little bit at a time to count it ALL!
