Today will be a busy day. I have a number of errands to run before we fly out tomorrow, and I still need to finish cleaning my house.
I’ve noticed during these fairly high stress times that my own kids can mirror my own tension. I need to remember that sometimes instead of pushing them off while I try to get work done isn’t nearly as helpful for me or them as taking a few minutes of undivided attention for them. We’ll see how I do.
We have some swallows building a nest on our roof, and David is keen to identify and draw birds right now. I think we’ll talk about Matthew 10:29-31 at breakfast this morning, instead of me dashing around like a chicken with its head cut off. (I’ll dash around after breakfast!)

My kids’ behavior has been not-so-good since we’ve been in this moving process. I’m trying to establish some routines again, because I feel like my kids behave better when they know what to expect and what’s expected. I’m having a hard time with it, though, because each day is crazy… Anyway, I could relate to what you were talking about.
