Blissful Boringness...

As mentioned in my Healing post... boringness is beautiful :o)

No holidays.

No guests staying at our house.

No vacations.

No special anything.

Just every day like every other day.

Blissful = full of supreme happiness, utter joy or contentment

Boringness = dullness, tedious repetition

Praise God!!!

We so needed this. Space to breathe. Finding our rhythm. Growing closer as a family. Settling in. We are getting there, but bring on another five weeks of this before spring break. Sounds great to me!

I love that life feels like it is starting to get back to normal. It feels good.

Here are the books I have been reading lately:

Great book - puts the bible in chronological order and reads like a novel

Given to me by a sweet friend

An absolutely-positively-must-read for adoptive parents like me who are struggling

This one is next up... I bet I will love it

I usually fall asleep on them at night...

I have also been tempted to go back to my volunteering gig at the wildlife rehabilitation center... (oh, man, I do miss the critters...) but thought it would be best to first spend time at the boys' schools. I have finally started volunteering in Josh's class, and have helped out again in David's class at his school. That's always a hoot ~ I love getting to know the kids in their classes and the teachers.

By the way, blissful boringness does NOT include sitting on the couch eating bon bons ;o)

For example, this morning I was up at 5am marking items for a consignment sale (bye-bye maternity clothes sniff sniff), first child was up at 5:20am, other 2 were up at 6am, TV-babysitter for 30 min so I could finish marking items, breakfast for everyone but me, dress everyone and make them look presentable, leave at 7:40am to drive #1 to school, trip to the grocery store that included three stops in the bathroom, drop off #2 at his school by 8:55am, pick up prescription, home to unload groceries and give #3 a snack before his speech therapist arrived at 9:45am... and the whole day went just like that until right now when I decided to pick up the computer instead of starting dinner :o)  The munchkins didn't even have an opportunity to take a nap.

And I am so grateful for the ability to do all the things I did today.

You stay home with your kids? Aren't you bored? What do you DO all day?

I laugh in the face of those sorta questions...   BWAHAHAHAHA

Bring on the mundane, repetitiousness (is that a word?) of our family's world right now. Yahoo!!!
