Today felt full, but not in a bad way. I couldn't sleep so I got up a hair early and worked out before the kids were up. The ability to exercise, unload the dishwasher, straighten up the kitchen some before the kids were every up felt good. They all actually got up and made it out the door for the bus as I left for work. Work was good. I love talking about curriculum, scheduling, classes, upcoming building projects, and new principal possibilities. It was actually a fun and exciting day. I was even able to leave in time to pick up the kids for a very overdue play date. Having them play meant I had time to actually pay bills, file paperwork, clean the kitchen, and catch up on the piles in every corner that get neglected during the busy week. We all enjoyed the time with friends. After finishing a wee bit of homework (without any complaining), we ended the evening with pjs and cuddling together watching Disney short films. Everyone went to bed after Bible stories and reading time with no tears. The best part is I was able to turn off the alarms and we all get to sleep in tomorrow morning! The kids have no school tomorrow!
Tomorrow we are headed to visit family. And while we all are looking forward to some family time, I am dreading the drive. UGH- I know I am a baby, but I have always HATED driving. Boy I really miss my 'chauffeur' right about now. When we first met (just friends at this point), I offered to pick him up and give him a ride while his car was broken. I will never forget the first time I told him that while I was perfectly fine picking him up to get to campus, he'd have to be the one driving! He jokingly offered right then to be my forever chauffeur. He didn't know what he got himself into! He never minded driving and in fact preferred it since he'd get carsick so easily. It worked perfected for us both! Geez- I miss him. Sarcastic wit, goofy grin, and chauffeur service in one package.
The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. - Lamentation 3:22-23
Praise the Lord for a positive, productive day!
ReplyDeleteI love the way you describe him. He loved you right from the start! And you were so faithful to the Lord in being darn well sure Josh came to the Lord first before letting him be your boyfriend! I admired that. This reminds me of so many good college times all together (hearing Josh's laugh in my head right now) and times also where I'm positive I annoyed the heck out of him being Mark's goofy gf lol...But he didn't sweat the small stuff, didn't pull punches, and was ever the gentle (& sarcastic) giant. :) I appreciate and miss those things about him and celebrate Josh memories with you, friend. 😙
So happy for a good and productive day!
