Went to the movies last night with oldest daughter and saw 'The Hundred Foot Journey' which was magical. I actually almost cried while I was watching it because it was so restful. A bit of peace in what's become a maddening life. And with our very own sweet Indian boyfriend, I could totally relate to the Indian aspect of the movie. Our daughter had already seen it with him, and she said it was funny how he nodded his head at the entire show. :)
Anyway....
Came home, husband was jazzed about something (not worth getting into here), and the two youngest girls were chatty and wanting to share, and oldest daughter broke down and cried in her room....exhausted at the car search, which had turned up fruitless so far. I had to go out on the porch (humid as all get-out) for a bit of silence. My brain can't handle endless noise and busyness.
Plus, second son, who goes to an inner-city church downtown has been asked to stand in for the pastor, who's possibly going to go to prison for a situation that relates to his past. Not pretty. Gary says our son should run and run as fast as his legs will take him, but our son has his heart in with some of the parishioners, and is being very cautious. He doesn't want the pastor's position (thank the Lord for that), but he's torn anyway. His preacher expects him to jump at the chance, and has been grooming him for the job, but (by the way, it's without pay...huh) our son has never felt led to pastor a church, so not sure where his preacher got that idea. Just one more thing...we've had several talks about it, and the talking needs to stop and our son needs to act.
Caution to those who want lots of kids...space them apart if possible so that their drama in life doesn't overlap too much. We're a bit swamped here.
Now off to do some reading, and hopefully find some restful pictures to look at. Beauty sounds like a good topic to get into just now. My Tumblr is calling me.....
