Fresh back from a uber chill weekend near Galveston, spent with dear friends celebrating a certain someone's 30 years of a fabulous life (no, not mine :-P)!
I am so thankful for these girls and the opportunity to commiserate over motherhood and the joyful pain it brings, our marriages and the annoyingly, endearing things that strengthen our hearts and then cutting loose, reenacting our youthful days of freedom. It was exactly what my soul needed.
Thankful I got to pick up my babies last night and bring their whiny behinds home. Choosing to see the interaction with my ex as comical...I love being told my children are "just tired". (Ya know, because it's not like I'm the one with them most of the time and I would be unable to decipher their behavior as tired.) Actually it was a product of something else, and again I am choosing not to address said issue, instead I will trust God to deal with them. I am thankful that I have the option to turn them over to God and KNOW that at some point in time they WILL be dealt with. God is merciful on both ends...
I am thankful for a sister who can quickly diffuse my irritation with a sense of humor and get me thru the snotty text I received this morning. The strength (wisdom) to rise above the situation and the clarity to see the situation for what it is and not succumb to the temptation to react.
Now, that I have some what documented my gratitude (although perhaps sarcastically) and vented a miniscule amount of my annoyance, I have to do list a mile long and so I bid you adieu.
