Time Flies When You're Having Fun!

Well, a few weeks ago I made a pledge to myself that I would find some time every day to do something that I love doing...write.  Now I am sitting here at my computer laughing at the fact that it has been almost a week since I last wrote one single word.  Where does the time go?  I have no idea, but I think that someone somewhere has put time into some sort of hyper-speed mode.  Truth is, I know exactly what is happening with the time, it is consumed with carpools and baseball games and tennis matches, add to that homework, trips to the orthodontist, dentist, physical therapist, and the usual 25 loads of laundry in a week, and that's where time goes.  It's a crazy crazy schedule we are running on these days, and it takes every second of every day and all of my energy to keep up with it.  One way I have been keeping my sanity is thru a stellar play list on my ipod that is both energizing and inspirational.  One of my favorite songs is by Mandissa called These Days.  Here are the lyrics, you can see why it applies so perfectly. ;)

I never liked Mondays or bad news
Or breakin in new shoes
And mornings when I can't find my phone
Nobody likes traffic or short nights
Or situps or long flights
But sometimes that's just the way it goes
It's funny what you use to help me grow...

So I'll learn to love these days
Life along the way
In the middle of the crazy
God your love is so amazing
Through the ups and downs
You're the only hope I've found
The Lord you meet me in the madness

I'll learned to love these days
I'll learned to love these days

I can see a silver linin
When the sun's not shinin'
Even when you choose to bring the rain
Oh, but I'm trustin your leadin'
'Cause your Lord of all my joy and all my pain

So I'll learn to love these days
Life along the way
In the middle of the crazy
God, your love is so amazing
Through the ups and downs
You're the only hope I've found
The Lord you meet me in the madness

I'll learned to love these days
I'll learned to love these days

I could wait the hundred years
You gave me here the days when you near
The days when I was out there
Lookin for what comes next
Oh, cause every minute,every hour, everyday
Is such a gift and I can say
I'm thankful for each day

So I'll learn to love these days
Life along the way
In the middle of the crazy
God, your love is so amazing
Through the ups and downs
You're the only hope I've found
The Lord you meet me in the madness

So I'll learned to love these days
I'll learned to love these days
I'll learned to love these days
I'll learned to love these days 

Yes, I love these days! Even when they do include dirty socks, piles of sports equipment and math with letters. ;)  Now, if I could just find a car with a lazy boy in the drivers seat, a tv in the dash and instant delivery from my favorite local drink place I'd love these days even a little bit more. ;)  Just to be clear, I speak of the Sonic Drive-In for cokes with good ice, not instant delivery from the local wine store. I'd have to find a car that included a driver for that to work.  Heeeyyyy, hold on one second, I think I might be on to something. ;)

The wine for the day is a lovely pinot grigio from Mommy's Time Out because I'm taking a time out right now and I like it!  I wish someone would put me in time out more often, doesn't that time out system use 1 hour for every year?  A whole 28 hours in time out? ;)  I'll take it!  

Happy Saturday and Boomer Sooner!
