Today, D drove to his car to work. Normal.
Today, D drove his car to work and ALSO, took the keys to my truck to work with him. Not normal.
It's okay, though. After calling friends frantically this morning to help take the kids to school. {along with 24 cupcakes for Kolt's class} Rummaging through drawers, with what seemed to be endless junk in them, searching for an extra set of keys. {Really should organize those drawers} Calling and cancelling appointments of the day, and re-scheduling. Calling school to give them this wonderful information. You know, just freaking out a tad, about my day and all the routine that goes with it, just flying out the window...or down Calumet Avenue in my husband's pocket.
It's really okay though, because I have realized something today. An eye opening realization. : )
This was the Lord saying to me.... K! Sloooooow down. Be still, be quiet.
I have been so caught up in my "schedule" or "to-do lists" that I haven't slowed down at all. Trying to fit it all in, even after telling myself before school started this year, that it was not going to happen this time. So, after a rough start to a day, I am finally glad that he took those stinkin' keys with him to work. I am trying to be thankful in today's "storm". I need to be thankful that I have a house that needs cleaning, that I have friends that are willing to help in tough situations, that my husband had a job to go to this morning. So dinner may not be ready at a decent hour this evening, but atleast we will have dinner. That is if I can get D to go to the store on his way home. ; )
Thank you Lord, for showing me how to be quiet.
I may even take a nice walk outside on this cool Fall morning.... to my neighbors house to drink some coffee.
