I was outside planting green things and organizing rocks, gardening some may call it (which I happen to hate, but its quiet so I do it), and it crossed my mind; if anyone were on the outside looking in, there is a darn good chance they would mistake our whole family for actors who were putting on one heck of a show. The thing is- we’re not! This zoo is our life and it is so insane that even I have to do a double take sometimes!
I saw this sign once in a hospital gift shop, which you will totally get once you know me. It said “My family is a freak show without a tent.” Someone who has crossed the path of someone from my household wrote those words. Sad, but true. You’ll see.
I hope you’ll hop on our roller coaster and enjoy the ride. We’ve learned a lot, we’re still learning. We’ve screwed up a lot- we always will. We have good times and bad. Things suck and then rock. At the end of the day when the house is silent and the kiddos are sleeping- I look back carefully. If that day had more ‘goods’ than ‘bads’, if everyone is still alive and more things than not are in tact then we have had a good day. Every once in a long while I swear I REALLY hear God giggling at what we have done with what He has given us. Funny. Ha-ha. Can’t wait to see the humor the good Lord sees :-).
I Don't Think It's Funny..... but God Is Giggling
