I was downright cheerful. Singing and smiling. Carefree and chipper.
Was I still one day behind on all my to do lists? Most definitely.
Was I at my wits end with trying to figure out how to discipline my frustrated and aggressive toddler? Sure.
Am I still twenty pounds overweight? Yes.
Do I need five more hours in the day to accomplish just the things on my list for tonight? Sure.
Did I have a dinner plan? Nope.
Is there milk for my breakfast tomorrow? Probably not.
Did I spend eight hours taking attitude from teenagers. Sure did.
Was I stuck behind the slowest 18 wheeler on the interstate in a construction zone? Yep.
Was I exhausted? Of course.
Did it all matter at the moment? Not one bit.
Here's why.....
1. God is good. He has blessed me and my family in amazing and loving ways.
2. It was a beautiful beautiful day!!
3. I was chewing Bubbalicious Gum. Haven;t done that since I was 14. Big bubbles.
4. I had a great day at school. Things are going really well.
5. This fun little tune was playing on the radio. 40 Dogs(Like Romeo and Juliet) by Bob Schneider. How can you not be happy with a cheerful, cheesy, endearing love song?
6. For these twenty five minutes I couldn't do anything else but enjoy the afternoon. So I did.

Yay, Carrie! Sometimes you just have to let it all go and enjoy the moment. All your worries will still be there, but maybe you will be in a better frame of mind to handle them, right??
LOVE IT
This post made my day!I will carry the picture of you singing your heart out in the car, chewing your gum, blowing bubbles all the way home, in my heart. A great new image of you as I pray for your days at school! :-)
