About to go to my mom's to pick up the kids. Third son turns 20 tomorrow (not sure how that happened so fast), but since he works then, we're having his birthday dinner tonight (presents tomorrow, though)---and before you ask, it's tortilla soup and carrot cake with cream cheese frosting. I made the cake this afternoon, and as is my habit, forgot the shredded cheese to put on the soup, so have a brief stop to make before fetching kids. I'm tellin' ya, I'm forgetful.
My on again, off again trials of faith are a struggle today. After only about 5 hours of sleep, wasn't equipped to be a human today, or at least not a sober and mature one. Close to tears several times, but that's what girls do, right?
Keep having to force myself to just look to what's in front of me. Isn't that 'oh so hard'? Man. Then I'll get on a roll about what's not done, what's needing doing, what's dirty in the house, the condition of the kitchen cabinets, the garbage that needs taking out, the inability to keep a pile of towels folded---I could go on and on (or maybe I already did). Anyway.
Today we eat cake and yummy soup. Gary and I will go birthday shopping after dinner. We'll have some time, just the two of us, which will be good, and overdue as well. Really, even though I take on more than I can chew, I'm so thankful for clear, beautiful weather today. Can't even hardly think of the tornado damage that happened after the storms blew through here. I really am so thankful. I got nothing to complain about when I balance it all out. You know?
