Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Ya know it always amazes me how when you think your gonna break God gives just enough sunshine to allow you to continue on.
This morning I was really struggling. Didn't want to get moving etc. Finally decided I was gonna load up the kids and go get a Dew. I don't keep them in the house cause I have no will power.
So I get to have one a day if I make it out of the house. Usually I run before DH leaves so I can take the Geo. But I drug around too long today.
Anyhow loaded 'em up in the rain and drizzle. And kind sighed about the ickiness of the day.
And drove down the mountain and found it wasn't raining. And was *almost* sunny.
So after picking up my Dew I went to Salt Creek Park and let the kids play on the play ground equipment for an hour. I needed that.
I needed a break from mundane, and the rain thats been going on since Tuesday. Sunshine.
Even if it did involve a yipping dog who locked us out of the van. *snicker* Fortunately a window was open for him...so I found a crooked stick and used it to unlock the electric locks.
Oh yes and did I mention Zeria smuggled the kitty into the van? So we umm had to be very careful as to not let it get out...cause it woulda been goooooooooooooooone.
But those were funny. Cause I got a wee bit of sunshine and a break. And just as I was thinking it was time to go it started sprinkling. So greatful for the wee break.

:sunny: You know, as I was reading this, I had just opened my diet Dew and was wondering how I was going to get all the things done today that needed to be done. Guess it's a Mountain Dw kinda day
Sits here with her Diet Pepsi.....hmmm, remembers all the Mt. Dew she sold to the bikers... hee hee... it was that or Pepsi. Snickers and the boss is a Coke drinker ....
Seriously, glad you had a good time with the kids, dog and kitty too. Oh, my!!
I yike this story! I remember being a young mom with 2 kiddos and no money for much extra. People I knew would talk about their fancy vacations, etc. and if we got time off, all we ever did was visit the IL's. I tried to not let it get me down, but the Lord (through various ways) made it clear that he was more refreshing than a Calgon bath or any vacation; that he would hide me under his wings... be a strong tower that I could run to... my everything! With that encouragement, I knew it was he who provided those wee breaks you mention... he restores our souls! :heartbeat:
how wonderful!
Sounds like a perfectly wonderful outing with the kiddos.. dog incident and all!
