Ever have one of those days? Sure you have. The day where nothing really went wrong but nothing fantastic happened. That is the way I have felt the last couple of days. Life is normal and boring. Believe it or not, that has been an answer to prayer. I usually have so much excitement that I have been praying for dull and boring. I was very ready for dull and boring. Now that it's here I am not sure I know what to do with it.
Having 4 kids and a deployed husband it seems there is always something to be done or someone that needs to go somewhere. The last couple of days I have managed to get the children to their activities and then back home again.
Tonight our oldest son is having his sleepover for his tenth birthday. I can't believe that he is ten already. Where did the time go? It does make me a little sad that I don't have my husband here to reminisce about 10 years ago........My husband even sent me an email that said the same thing. I usually start about a week before each child's birthday and say 15 year ago Mackenzie wasn't even here yet and work my way down the line of children as birthdays come. Some how it loses effect with the children. They just look at me and smile or giggle. They don't understand.
Tonight as it is relatively quiet for a sleepover night I sit and think what a blessing it has been to have a little dull and boring. I also think about how great it's been that I have been able to sit back and realize it. Thank you Lord for allowing me down time and keeping me still long enough to enjoy it, realize it, and be thankful for it.
