An Average Day....ummm

Do I even begin to know what an average day is like? My average day begins with the barking out of "Cade get dressed" about 50 times, followed by turning off the television, threatening to ground him if he turns it back on before he is completely dressed (this means shoes also) and then trying to get out the door taking everything but the kitchen sink (and somedays it seems we take that too) with us as we venture out on our glorious day!! All smiles and ready to tackle our daily task! That's my average! Of course, after dropping him off at his destination, I worry if I was "a little to rough on him" this morning! He gets out of the car, heads off inside to greet his friends, I dont' think I even get a goodbye Mom....and Lord forbid, don't even THINK about a goodbye kiss!! Oh no, that's just NOT going to happen!

As I drive into town to my office I am constantly thinking of "what do I want to be when I grow up"?? I have worked at the same destination for 20 years, but it no longer holds my interest. Most of it is the lack of proper management and a little on the fact that the job is more dangerous and I am getting a little to old to "fight off the bad guys" anymore! (*chuckle*)! So, when I have time, I come here to my trusty blog site and I write or post devotions to vent my frustrations, share devotions that have opened my eyes and made me rethink the way I think or just to ramble and hope that someone out there is reading and getting a chuckle and a smile out of what they are reading. Yes, on an average day for me, I have thoughts of what would be the perfect job for me. I anxiously await my calling! For now, I do what I have to do, pour myself into my family and take a moment to visit my "corner of the world" to have my "me" time!! Sometimes this is the only "me" time I can find! I make my 8 hours here and watch the clock until it is time to pick my son up from Kids Camp. I am always anxious to see him and see what kind of adventurous day he had. I have learned alot from him. I have allowed myself to become more fascinated with the little excitements in life....they can actually be so big.....especially in the eyes of an 8 year old! They are now to me as well! Makes life a little better!

Conversations about the days events are shared on the drive home and I am thankful for those few moments! We don't live that far from the Kids Camp he attends, but I can learn alot about his day in that short time! For the most part, the routine is the same when we get home and I know that when morning comes, my average day will start all over again. I'm smiling though, it's all good!
