Cold Milk In The Face; Perspective
A cold glass of milk in the face; perspective.
 
My day has been the typical day of a mom.  Hang out clothes because the dryer is broke.  Fix the chicken coop so that not all three hens are sitting in the same box with the eggs, of course the cage I want to put in won't go through the gate, so I have to throw a six foot long cage over the big cage.  You would also expect my 3 kids and nephew to not be doing their chores but enjoying their Easter goodies while I am outside.  The house is thrashed from Easter,  there are dishes in the sink, the water bottle is still empty.  Now, it is time for lunch.  Kids must eat! (I have tried to stop this but...)  I can talk loudly, I can express my disappointmen, because I thought I trained better etc... Then, I open the door and start grabbing stuff only to have an open cup full of milk come splashing on me.  That is cold milk all over me!  Wow.. truly there is no point in crying over spilled milk.  I  mean what good would it do.. but it does make for a reality check..
Broken dryer.... I have a washer that works and clothes lines already....Praise God we have clothes to keep us warm
Water Bottle not filled...We have well water that is fine to drink...praise God we have water to quench our thirst
House not clean and perfect.... I have a wonderful home to keep my family safe and warm at night...Praise God I am not on the streets
Kids not doing as they should...I have time to train them...Praise God they are healthy and learning just young and immature.
Cold milk in the face... Praise God I am not being tortured in another country because I want to Praise God!
