What Now?

Spring is here!  The weather has been amazing and we've enjoyed lots of outside time.
I'm looking forward to a trip to Mexico with just my husband!
I'm planning for Summer Playground at my church (VBS).
I am trying to have more patience in all areas of life.
I am trying to be more focused.
Trying to be intentional about my prayers and really search for what it is am supposed to be praying for.
Trying to let God speak to me and following His lead, not going my own way.

But today has been not fun.
A big argument with Cassie to start the day.  Tears followed.  Stress.
Then broken glass & a long clean up since water too was involved.
The gray drab weather outside not helping anything.
A good morning at MOPS chatting with other tired Mommies.
Then a broken - and i mean broken - light bulb.
I am waiting for kids #3 to break some glass to make a tri-fecta.
A cat locked in a room - - peed on stuff in there.  Washing machine in full gear.
A kitchen that needs cleaning again after kids ate cupcakes & chips & fruit sprinkles.
I'm savoring the silence right now.  Told Ben to go in my bed for rest with some books.
Cali in her crib...maybe she'll nap today.  Two days with no nap for her.
I still need the quiet in the afternoon so as long as they can not be in the same room as me for a bit it is OK.
Just need that time to recharge and gather myself before the rest of the day happens.

Next week is spring break...it's coming with cooler temps and some rain.
Trying to plan a fun activity that won't break the bank & is fun for all four of us.
We'll see what I come up with.
Was going to do the Bronx Zoo but it really is not going to be warm enough to be outside for that long.
Maybe a train ride to somewhere.
What is fun for everyone???? To be determined.....
