So I start my friday out like any other friday. I dragged myself out of bed, heard my body crack and creak to let me know that it is getting old. (Notice I said "it" My body may be ferfeheph in age but my brain is much, much younger.) After I am all ready for the day, Jakob and Kadence wake up and I get them dressed and downstairs to get breakfast. The only odd thing on this friday morning is that Krischan isn't here. He has been with his Grandparents since Wednesday morning and I feel the emptiness that hangs around. It makes me wonder if that emptiness will move in when he grows up and moves out rather than it just visiting.
So on our way we go to zoo class, I get there and it is spring break, no zoo class. I think to myself that I can't go home, I have to meet with our CPA at 1:00 so I am not going to drive home just to turn around and come back. The kids need shoes so I take them to get their shoes. Easy enough, that takes up a good bit of time and it is now 11:00.
Out at my car I see that I brought the wrong folder. Instead of my taxes folder, I brought krischans school paper folder. Crap! Now what do I do? By the time I decide to drive home it is 11:20. I should have enough time, but it will be close.
I drive home, grab my papers, snacks for the kids, get back in the car, drive back out and make it there just a little bit late. (I live about 45 minutes out of town so driving back home is never as easy as it would sound to a normal person).
We eat a late lunch, head back home and it is peaceful as the kids fell asleep within minutes of the drive. I get home and go in the bathroom upstairs. (yes the one we just tiled and put back together) I notice the floor around the vanity is wet, so I get down, open the doors and see that there is a HUGE puddle inside, and the towel that was in there is so wet it is like I actually dunked the towel in a tub full of water. The bottom of the vanity is actually now bowed because of the water.
While Rick and I were dealing with that I hear Jakob downstairs calling. "DAD!DAD! DAD!" So I go down there and see that he tried to pour himself a cup of apple juice. It is everywhere. Pouring off the counter, all over the floor (It was a full container) Jakob looks up at me and says "I made big mess..."
So, as I take a deep breath I begin to wonder. Does everything really happen for a reason? Does the world work that way? Or am I just having a challenging day?
I went in, no zoo class, but got the chance to buy shoes for the kids...
I forgot the tax information so I had to run home then back. Not sure why on that one. To waste gas? Considering I had just put 80 dollars into the darn thing...
Why did the vanity overflow? because we should just buy another one?...
And the apple juice on the floor, was the world telling me that I needed to desperately clean the floor? Like I didn't know that one already.
Did it all happen to make me stop and take a look at my life? Because if that is the case, I already knew it was crazy, I already know that my house is a mess, gas is expensive, and the kids needed shoes. Oh, and as I am writing my husband comes up to ask me if I went crazy with the DVR.
Last night while I was dead tired, running on 2 hours of sleep and a full day of teaching I went to erase all my martha stewart shows. (Yes, I do delete some and not watch them, as much as I love to watch them, sometimes there just isn't the time.) Well, I accidentally deleted EVERYTHING.
Yes, everything. My Twilight movies (I don't need to watch them anyway) August Rush and other movies I love, Parenthood, Holmes on Holmes, American Pickers, and many, many, many kids movies. All...gone. There is no trashcan you can go to and pull everything back out of.
Rick thinks that happened to tell me that when I am dead tired, don't mess with the DVR. I think it was telling me that I don't have time to watch TV so why have all those things recorded wasting space.
Maybe when my time is over down here, God and I will sit at a table over looking the ocean, and drink a coffee while he explains everything to me. Things I was supposed to learn, things I did learn and the reason behind it all.
