See that? It's me being ridiculous happy for no real solid reason except that I came home to my crock pot meal today and then I took the leftovers and made chicken and rice soup in my big soup pot and then I filled up the crockpot with another meal and I met some real live high school students that I didn't know until today when they came in the store at school and stayed and talked to me and it made me sky high happy and one of my twelve year old friends burst into the store at the end of the day, all rambunctious and wrestly and made me laugh out loud and I put his hair in a ponytail like Flinstones Bam Bam and my mama heart just wrapped itself up in seeing him smile and hearing the kids laugh and I know this is a run on sentence but I run on when I'm jazzed and I am most definitely jazzed!
My girl and I "had" to stop at the store on the way home and pick up something for tomorrow's dinner. I said "had"? Because it feels so fun to be part of the "working mom's club" when it's work that fills my heart up to the overflow point. We giggled ourselves giddy fall-into-each-other when we saw a younger child looking at Naomi in her school uniform and I looked at my girl, desperately trying to hold onto "cool and I don't care at all," face and she failed miserably and smiled in spite of herself.
I alphabetized school forms today and prayed for a middle schooler who is trying it on and finding it takes time to feel ok to be a middle schooler when you've only just been in elementary grades up until now. I jumped in my car and met a friend for lunch and we talked about life and how we'd each named our year "impossible" back when the January snow was on the ground. Turns out, God is in the business of the impossible and we're both holding our cups out for more.
Here's to Tuesday! Bring it!
