When my house is a mess
Right now, my house is a mess. A real mess. My children are finally asleep although we didn't follow any normal routine at all (baseball didn't even end until after 9:30). My hair is still wet from the first shower I've had in days and I won't dry it tonight or fix it tomorrow. Yet, none of that bothers me too badly. It's been a hell of a year, the details of which don't much matter, and yet I'm finding that very little bothers me. I smile at all those silly things not done on a normal to-do list. I giggle and revel in the little joys and blessings around me. My children are awesome; truly, honestly awesome. I look at them all the time and just smile. But then seep in those things that do bother me. Those big things. Should I teach next year? Should I homeschool Jackson? How can I help my children be moral and ethical in the matters that will soon face them (especially Brock who is in 6th grade)? What is the state of my marriage and how is it going to survive all that we've thrown at it? No wonder this messy house isn't bothering me. I think I just have no room in my mind for it. Wish me luck in all of this, please. Luck and prayers!

ReplyDeleteHi,
ReplyDeletePrayers go out to you. I believe I read this blog not too long ago and the note made me think about people these days. Some people try not to think of their marriage and that's not good. For some reason, relationships take thinking time about the future possibilities. People don't need to throw out the thinking time of marriage, either. The more time that is put into marriage, the less problems are to occur. You are a great thinker!:) The thinking time of marriage part inspired me. I believe that's the time that matters the most while being in a long term marriage commitment.
