Overwhelmed

Thanksgiving. Christmas Cards. Checking Backpacks. Washing Bottles. Work. Unknowns. Black Friday. Spelling Words. Overdue Library Books. Dentist Appointments. Blog. Christmas Lists. Wrapping Gifts. Birthdays. Family. Dinner. Groceries. Computers Breaking. DVR. Bible Study. Emails. Pictures. Doctor Appointments. Sick. Bills. Laundry. Friends. Bank. Post Office. Target. Meijer. Cleaning. Baby-sitting. Reading.

Stopping...to reflect, live in the moment, talk to God and not worry about everything above. It's tough, but also feels necessary right now. All of the above will always be there, but Johanna will not be 8 months for much longer. Abigail will not be an emergent reader for much longer. Henry will not be wanting me to do puzzles with him for much longer. It's tough to stop when "stuff" gets in the way...I'm busy and feeling overwhelmed...time for a snuggle, a book and a puzzle.
