Taking a walk out to the mailbox. All the while pushing the stroller into the wind. Yelling my frustrations into the wind and hoping they'll be blown away. Returning. Carrying Baby Louis, sleeping peacefully in his car seat, into the entry. Hearing fighting and screaming. Praying Baby Louis will continue to sleep. Feeling still at peace - isn't that a miracle! Breaking up the noisemakers and setting them in separate areas. Making a cup of Chai and sitting down to read and relax. Hopefully it'll be long enough for finishing the tea.Friday, March 26, 2010

ReplyDeletejust kidding
I like how you can remain calm.
you felt peace because peace is a SOMEONE, suzie, not a something.
ReplyDeletei always love the scripture verse that says...and HE shall be peace.
isn't HE so awesome!
this morning when i drank my cup of chai i thought of you....
have a blessed weekend.
and invest in some earplugs if you need to!
xo.
That's true - about Peace - Regan, but I can honestly say I haven't ever thought of it that way until you pointed it out ... I mean REALLY thought about it. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteI do have ear plugs, but I must be super sensitive cuz I can still hear my kids loud & clear. Either that or my kids are super loud! It's a possibility...
I had one of those days yesterday as well. Everyone talking at once and needing something simultaneaously ALL DAY!!!!
ReplyDeleteI had to plug my ears a time or two during the day after the "one at a time" request was denied again and again!
I finally just took a few minutes to walk the dog BY MYSELF when hubby came home and asked for His Help and Graces. Surprising what a few minutes with Him will do. And a little quiet time!!
