You know those days when you hear that voice in your head say "
this is the worst day."
maybe you woke up on the wrong side of the bed
maybe your loving kiddos are fighting like cats and dogs ...
all day
maybe your angels aren't displaying the fruits of the Spirit that you
tirelessly teach them
you whisper "
let this day be over; tomorrow will be a fresh start"
and it is. Life is better . The sun shines again. Your kiddos are best friends again.
but sometimes you have
those days, those
crazy days when
nothing goes as planned.
you get the herd bundled up, out the door. then halfway to your destination, and you hear
"mom, i feel like i'm going to throw up"
car sickness is funny like that ~ it only strikes when you actually need to go somewhere.
You try your methods "nibble on a snack honey, try not to look out your side window" ...
you think you're in the clear; then out of the blue, Sweet Pea's breakfast emerges all over herself!
{deep sigh.}
Sweet Pea begins crying because her
favorite blanket, which was caught in the crossfire becomes the catch all for her ruined clothes
there are
absolutely no trash bags in the car,
the
only change of clothes you have on hand belong to her brother.
oh, and remember the kiddo previously complaining about being car sick?
yeah, he's about to loose his breakfast at the smell of it all, along with oldest brother who's been fighting a headache all morning.
I open the windows, begin the clean up process, and Little Brother begins crying when he hears that now we have to go back home .
he was
SO looking forward to this week because it's been a month since he's been to Bible study, he misses his teachers,
and he made cards for them which
must be delivered and he
must not miss another week.
{deep sigh + prayer.}
Little Brother agrees to only go to class for 45 minutes, drop him & older brothers off in their class,
and i commence cleaning car seat while Sweet Pea plays happily in the front seat.
bath when we get home ... one of
those days when all goes awry; all i can do is laugh out loud.
{p.s. Sweet Pea is completely healthy. don't know why she threw up; must have been car sick too.}
