There are those days, when life seems overwhelming. It feels like we have just have more on our plate than we can handle; the kids being sick for over a month, Rob's car taking a huge chunk out of the bank to get fixed, the fridge/freezer heating up inside the day after I buy groceries.
But some how there is always space for a little more...
On my way back from the post office my van overheated, shuttered, and as Alexander said "it growled at us". I really think maybe it did, it was not happy with red lights flashing warnings on the dash board. So I pulled off the road and shut it off to cool down. I then pulled out my cell phone to call my hubby. The battery was dead. I waited for 20 minutes with 3 very grumpy children, for the van to cool down enough to drive the last 4 miles home. I grumbled all the way home feeling the self pity well up. What more! Why now!
We made it home. I hurried the kids in so I could call the school and tell them I wasn't going to make it to pick up Gabriel at noon. I called Rob at work to see if he wanted to come home or have me tow the van.

Just as my bad mood was at it's peak, I came in to find Alexander reading to Megan from his new Animal Babies book.
Megan was listening eagerly to Alexander reading about the "chippie monks"

I took a deep breath, this too shall pass. with out the hardship we really can't appreciate the beauty and the blessings. Life is beautiful. :O)
