Rat Race

Today has been one of those days. No, scratch that. This week has been one of those weeks. Not a bad week, just unbelievably long and exhausting. Tonight, I'm trying not to think about the three hours of computer work I have to do tonight before I can climb into bed. I'm trying not to think about how there's no way I'll be able to get all of my work and errands and family time in tomorrow. I'm trying not to think about how my van will be in the shop all day tomorrow so I won't be able to get my orders turned in and as a result won't make any money. I'm trying not to think about the five hundred bucks that was taken out of our account that we didn't know about and can't get resolved.

INSTEAD, I'm trying to think about this:And this:

And about how incredibly blessed we are. Sometimes I feel like I'm running on a rat wheel and going as fast as I possibly can but no matter how fast I run I just can't get everything done. Today I felt like I was going to fly off the wheel. Seriously, I dropped the D bomb in front of my girls. Been feeling guilty ever since. I don't know why I get all worked up when I'm not able to be on top of things all the time, but I do. I sometimes need to step back and think about how truly blessed I am and how grateful I am for all that I have. Like a wonderful husband, two beautiful healthy baby girls, the best parents, siblings, and in-laws, food on the table, jobs to make money and pay bills, my testimony, etc. SO, instead of being worried about not scrambling around taking pictures tomorrow while my car is getting a make-over, I'm going to take my girls to the park and play. Maybe take a nap. Maybe take a shower. (that's a BIG maybe....) Maybe go for a nice, long run. I can't wait for tomorrow!
