Storms rolled into Texas last night. Temperatures dropped, rain fell, and we kicked the heater on. In short, we hunkered down.
A storm of a different sort rolled in as well, one that comes without warning and usually blindsides you. Being a parent is tough because just when you think you have it down and have it all figured out, a curve ball gets thrown your way. You stumble back, regroup- and sometimes you just have to hole up and heal.
I am taking a few days off from blogging. I am staying home, cooking comfort food, and staying close to my kids. I need a minute to catch my breath and figure it all out again. I need to savor the next few days and create some happy memories- no matter how small. We need to regroup and reconnect as a family. The ebb and flow of life- full tilt to slow crawl.
Have a good weekend...I'll be back on Monday.

I can totally relate. I'll make sure to pray for you and your family. Enjoy your long weekend with your family.
ReplyDeleteWill say a prayer for you and your family! Wishing the best!
ReplyDeleteOh my...how well I know those curveballs. Will pray the Lord is your strength and shield as your family seeks REST. Will also pray for peace to flood your hearts and minds... hope you enjoy some good family time. We always refer to our home as "our island"...the place where when life goes NUTS and its all too much...when we are here with the four of us...that's where it all matters. And God will guide us through the stormy season. Prayers for your family!
ReplyDeleteJust found your blog and I love it! Come by and check me out when you can...I'm a Texas gal too and was curious which part of Texas?? I saw your Gruene Hall sign and thought we might be neighbors? Your home is beautiful! Praying your time away is restful for your soul and family.
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear things are "stormy." Hope a quiet weekend is just what you need. xo
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear you were thrown a curve ball. That can be scary when its unexpected. I'll be thinking of you and hope all is well. Enjoy your time off and enjoy making those memories even if they are small.
ReplyDeleteYup, those kids can haul off and whomp you right between the eyes at times.
ReplyDeleteThinking of you...not sure we ever have it figured out :)

ReplyDeleteOh yes the storms can really put the fear of God back into us! I am so glad you are safe!
