Awww...how sweet! You're back again! Hope you enjoy your visit with the Peapod Squad!
The combination of time-change, a more-than-full house, and Halloween candy overload has not made for a very pleasant time around here the last couple of days. The kids are (understandably) overwhelmed. They have more energy than they know what to do with. My patience level has been challenged and defeated.
This morning was horrible. They woke up at 5am. They fought. We fought. There was much yelling, wailing and gnashing of teeth before we left for pre-k at 8am. I came home in tears, took a short nap, politely excused myself and then went for a drive. I needed to clear my head before I could be suitable company for anyone.
While driving around, I realized that all around me there was evidence of how positive change can be. I need to learn new ways to create the bits of solitude I require. It’s difficult to be an introvert in this situation, but I was remarkably refreshed by my autumn drive. Just me, a cup of coffee, good music…and beautiful views.
The photo I took while out on my rejuvenating drive reminds me that I can find creative ways to be like that lone tree on the outside of the fence. And I just love the way God seems to be showing off with nature. How can this not put a smile back on my face?
