Randomness

I took a look at the calendar for Saturday and had some serious anxiety.

This is the family calendar that everyone writes on when they have an upcoming event.  We had SIX games, a swim meet, dance rehearsal and a Fall social.  It was WAYYY busy, but I enjoyed every second of it.  I love watching my kids.  I love seeing how much they enjoy their activities.  I love how different each of them are. 

Our apple witches shrunk and DID get scary by the end of October. 

A few weeks ago,  I cut out a couple of silhouette haunted houses for the little girls to draw characters in the windows and doors.  I smiled when I saw Ashley’s in by the Polly Pockets’ houses.  It WAS the haunted house as they were playing.  There dialogue was cute as they were opening and shutting doors scaring the Polly Pockets that would visit.

I’m going to miss Ashley’s Halloween drawings and her “BOO!”s that she has been making non-stop.  I guess it’s turkey drawing time now.

Last week  Jerrica and I pulled out the Thanksgiving decorations.  It’s Fall decor, but I save it for November to have something new after Halloween.  I decided to buy a few Fall flowers for a bouquet.  The flowers were half off and I couldn’t resist the pretty colors.  I really enjoy flower arranging.  There is just something about how each little sprig adds to the finished bouquet.

One more bit of randomness.  We had a lesson Sunday on “Being Comfortable, being Uncomfortable”.  I keep thinking about what he said.  The guest speaker spoke about when we are upset or uncomfortable about a situation, we immediately try to remedy it and try to get back into our comfort zone.  However because we are trying to jump out of the  “uncomfortable” as fast as we can, we fail to listen to another or learn from the experience because we are too busy trying to make it “right” again.  It’s OK to be uncomfortable.  Relax, listen and learn. 

I always get my mouth going or an email flying to rectify something.  I know I need to be patient a little longer.  I need to listen a little bit more than I do.  I need to show a little more love, even though I’m uncomfortable.  It is then that I will grow and BE comfortable.

All of that probably doesn’t make sense because I can’t express myself. AND all of it can be taken out of context, BUT it makes sense to me  and I want to remember it THUS I include it here on my blog!  :)
