Nothing goes as planned.
Finally in life I seem to be handing it. That is why at three in the morning I am typing at my computer to the hum of the clothes washer having just cleaned vomit off the bathroom floor.
One child just threw up and one child is having a birthday today. So this messes up a lot of birthday plans for a one excited little boy. Or it could, but come whatever — I will roll with it.
I must be getting rounder.
I roll a lot easier these days. Like last night when making chili for the first time in 3 years. My husband does not eat chili. I love chili. I was making chili for me and the child that threw up. Of course, I did not know she would be the child that was going to throw up at three in the morning. If I had known that I probably wouldn’t have fixed chili.
Bottom line is I got all this ground beef cooked up and couldn’t find the little packet of chili mix purchased 10 minutes ago.
Searching for 5 minutes — knew it was somewhere – but it was almost 7 o’clock. I rolled with it. Taking out spices, garlic powder, onion powder, managed to find the chili powder (which took a while), little bit cayene pepper (mistake, which I over came with lots of cumin).
Added the tomatoes and beans — and it actually turned out pretty good.
A few years ago, I would have probably cursed for I was terribly tired at the point of day. Maybe cried a tear saying nothing ever works and had cereal for dinner.
But I rolled with it, had chili — and so did my daughter. Who just threw up.
The Lord giveth and He taketh.
But it’s now 3:30 a.m. and I shall go on to wrapping presents for a little boy who is very excited about his birthday. (Of course, I should have done this last night but one turns into a pumpkin in the evening getting up at 4 a.m every morning.) Or 3 a.m. as it was the case today.
But thank God, I am becoming a circle. I shall roll through this day with his help. Rolling is so much easier.
Okay — she just threw up again. bye.
After cleaning up her mess, and I feel my edges starting to return. But I know I can be round. I pray I will be round.
Nothing will change by becoming a square. I will tell myself this a lot today.
I’m going to put on some coffee. Thank God for coffee. Have a great Tuesday.
