My husband is out of town for a couple of days. He left early this morning and won't be back until Thursday evening. So, for a couple of days it's just me and them. And although I know it will be crazy, every day is crazy in this house, I know it will be fun.
I am deciding right now that I'm not going to get overwhelmed when they are tired and begin to have meltdowns, but that I will be calm and do something to keep me sane. If that means locking myself in my bedroom, having a cup of coffee, baking, or simply trusting in the promises of God. I will keep my cool.
I am deciding that we will have fun. I will not say no before my children ask me questions and I will not say no immediately once they have been asked. I will actually think and consider what they are asking because some things really don't matter.
I will enjoy my children, the big boys go back to school in two weeks. And, although I am counting down the days, the dynamics of the house change drastically when I go from having four around all day to just two. And to be honest, some days I am just so busy taking care of everything that I don't take time to enjoy my children. So no matter what is going on at church and what things I think I need to get done, my children have to take priority. I know all to well that time with them is shorter, sometimes much shorter than we can ever imagine, better take time to enjoy it.
So, this morning I am having my coffee, I am resting in the overwhelming and unexplainable peace of God, and I am looking forward to having a good day. No matter what gets thrown my way, I know, I'm almost asking for trouble ;)
