Today is a Monday for those of us in Williamson County who have students in the public schools. And, boy howdy, it was Monday morning all of the way with onions on top!!! I crawled out of bed and hunchbacked my way to the kitchen to get the coffee going. I had to go back and forth to my thirteen-year-old's room umpteen times in the first ten minutes to get him upright. Then it occurred to me that I probably should make some breakfast. It was a lot of fun trying to talk through the crack of the closed bathroom door forty thousand times to let the youngest know that the oldest would miss the bus if he did not vacate the bathroom. Imagine my unhappiness when I had to fetch the other three kids in the carpool and then swing back by my own house for a kid with no socks and shoes on, the temperatures below freezing. Lucky for me, I have great kids in my carpool and we were soon laughing and joking on the way to the middle school.
I have an orthodontist appointment to take someone to, followed by the all-important decision as to whether my kid gets a small t.v. or an airsoft gun for his birthday and, if so, which models. All in all, a tame day, when compared to the itinerary of, say, a head of state or a neurosurgeon. Such folks would consider my daily life time off from work!
I will try, once again, to be thankful. I will purposefully do what I can do to enjoy my day, to honor God in it. I will work to make Him the center of it.
