There are so many times that I dream of a day off. Of peace and quiet. Of time to myself. A chance to pursue things that I really enjoy rather than cleaning dishes, washing clothes and changing diapers.
I got my days off! Less than two weeks ago I had strep throat and Sunday afternoon I got hit HARD by that nasty stomach bug that is going around. And so...in the last 2 weeks, 3 of those days I spent quarantined in the bedroom. Its very quiet in here...can't do dishes or laundry and no diaper changes. Honestly, getting a break from those things has been a little nice (although I don't even want to see the condition of our house!)
But...all I wanted those days was to be with my family! To be able to hear them laugh and enjoy all the silly little things my babies do. I missed my little people!
So, its funny how the thing I thought I really wanted, I don't want at all! I pray that I would learn to be content in the days God gives me...that I would be content today... Stuck in a room-by myself!

That's funny because I so wish I had a day off! I remember back in early 2011 when we had all those snow days off school and I seriously laid in bed for days. I wish just one day I could lay in bed all day. I guess I better be careful what I wish for...
