I can not believe that it is already October! I knew life would be particularly hectic this school year, but nothing prepared me for "how" hectic it truly would be! True, the girls are getting older and I thought easier, but in reality it seems I am more busy now than when they were demanding babies and toddlers. At least then they would take naps! Now our lives are consumed with soccer practice and games, guitar lessons, car pools, church activities, school acitivities, and lots and lots of homework! On top of that, this is my very first year teaching preschool! Silly me for thinking that 3 year olds would be easy to teach! Quite the contrary! They are little midgets of never ending energy and constantly talking and asking questions! They WANT to learn! So, I spend A.L.O.T. of time planning lessons and activities and crafts. The little
shits darlings are sponges and want something new and exciting to do! And they insist that "Miss Neese" play too! They have no concept of "no really, my butt will NOT fit down that slide!"...
At the end of the day when life has calmed down a bit, I really do count my blessings. My heart is full of joy and contentment. God has blessed me in so many ways. His Love and Mercy are always falling down on me. Always providing. Always forgiving. Always guiding. Always getting me through the days. God is Good!
There is a Kenny Chesney song called, "Don't Blink". Here are just a few lyrics.....
"Just like that you're six years old and you take a nap and you
Wake up and you're twenty-five and your high school sweetheart becomes your wife
Don't blink
You just might miss your babies growing like mine did
Turning into moms and dads next thing you know your "better half"
Of fifty years is there in bed
And you're praying God takes you instead
Trust me friend a hundred years goes faster than you think
So don't blink"
Helps put it all into perspective a bit for me!
