November 20th....I am so Thankful for a quiet time when I can get it.
Yesterday Luke took the girls to Tucson with him most of the day and so it was just me and the boys. I do love having "All my Children" around me, and sometimes it get a bit rowdy, but that can be fun.
So when that moment comes and there is a little quiet around me....it's somewhat Heavenly. I almost didn't know what to do with myself. I sat down in the middle of the front room and ate my lunch on the floor with Carter. I made a batch of sugar cookies for todays cookies party at my house. I caught up on LOADS of laundry. And when I say loads I mean it...how do clothes just pile up over night? It's like Night in the Laundry room and everything comes to life....and they create more clothes. I mopped my kitchen floor.
It's such a magical time.
But then there is that time when all the kids are running around chasing each other and all laughing out loud and that time is amazing as well.
I suppose too much of one thing could get very boring and annoying and keep you sane. (wouldn't want that)
Three Cheers for Quiet time.
November 21st
I woke up this morning with thankfulness for ANTICIPATION.
This feeling keeps the body in check. I love the excitement, nervousness, hyperactiveness, happiness & pure JOY that comes along with anticipating an upcoming event.
I get nervous and happy when I anticipate walking to the podium to bear my testimony in church. It's almost like I can't breath, my face gets hot and I almost can't feel my limbs.
I get hyper and somewhat annoying when I know that I am going somewhere fun and exciting. SO...today is my hyper and annoying day because tomorrow I leave for Utah. Me and the kids are so excited we keep finding our selves jumping up and down in the middle of a room holding hands. We are anticipating a long but wonderful trip. We are also anticipating the arrival of Luke a few days later....CANT WAIT!
YAHOOOO
Well the anticipation just hit me again..I got a knot in my gut because I am anticipating the boys finding me any minutes hiding out at the computer.
Happy Anticipating!
