and I am hearing sleet hit my windows, which of course makes me nervous that my boys will be on the road for 6 hours in bad weather. I know the Big Man is a good driver, but its not him I worry about, its all the other yahoos on the road. For some strange reason, our cat, who is NEVER up on the main level since we got the puppy dog, is sitting on the arm of the sofa next to me, demanding attention. It started yesterday, and I made sure she had food and water, so its just the attention thing. Bizarre....
My house is clean, and I am ready for my mother in law and my sister in law to visit. I am excited, but mostly I am excited for the little man to get to know them. Its hard with them being 1300 miles away, but we make do. I want him to have a great relationship with all his relatives, but when you only know people from pictures-as is the case with some of the family-its not like you can be really close. Maybe that will be different as he gets older, but I am not seeing it right now.
Its nice having a clean house-I almost forgot what it was like to not have toys piled up on every flat surface. Its just something that makes me smile. Its just like at work where I am trying very hard to keep my desk cleaned off & organized. Its very hard for me because my mind doesn't always work like that. I swear I can be so scattered a lot of the time. Its not that I don't want to be neat & organized-its actually been an annual goal of mine since forever-I really struggle with it. Its like I get 90% of the way there, and then something just prevents me from that final 10%. But I am working through that-I know I can do it.
Just got a call from school-2 hour late start today, so I am not feeling so bad that he's going to miss school due to the airport road trip. But, if they are having a delayed opening it means the roads are pretty nasty out there. So, I am going to be worried all the time now. I do need to get my day started soon-have to get ready for work, finish packing the busy bag for the car for the little man (book, coloring book, toys, food)empty the dishwasher, tidy up; maybe throw some laundry in the washer for later. I really don't have to bother with doing too much with my hair since obviously its damp out, so therefore it will be wild and wooly today. I just need to get myself and the little man dressed and motivated.
Life is good, and it can only get better!
Women of God can never be like women of the world. The world has enough women who are tough; we need women who are tender. There are enough women who are coarse; we need women who are kind. There are enough women who are rude; we need women who are refined. We have enough women of fame and fortune; we need more women of faith. We have enough greed; we need more goodness. We have enough vanity; we need more virtue. We have enough popularity; we need more purity. Margaret D. Nadauld
