Day 6
Today was the most bitter cold day I have ever experienced. It was very well into the NEGATIVES. WAY too cold for me. And it was so cold that we were under a state wide emergency to stay off of the roads until 6pm. And clearly, there was no school. No work. Everyone was confined to their homes. Most of the time I wouldn't be OK with this because I tend to get a little stir crazy. With 2 young and active boys it can get downright stressful. I'm not going to lie!
But I think that God brings on days like today for a reason. We get so stressed living our day to day lives that we forget to stop and SLOW DOWN and savor every moment that we can. In the midst of jobs, school, extra curricular activities and even church we forget that life doesn't stop. And if we aren't careful to stop and enjoy our kids we will miss them growing up.
Christian is in 1st grade and Wesley is inching his way towards Kindergarten. My babies are growing up. There will come a day very shortly that both of them will be in school ALL DAY and there will be nothing left but an empty home. And when the time comes when they are out of the house for good I will be stuck as an "empty nester" and I'm not sure how I feel about that quite yet.
Today was a good day. There wasn't too much fighting and not much yelling on my end. I was content on how things were. Today we lived a simple life.
I will always cherish days like today because in a blink of an eye time will have passed, they will have grown and moved on and all I will have left of my little boys is memories. As much as they drive me crazy sometimes I will NEVER stop loving them.
