Fading October

Where has the month gone?

In a few short days, I'll get another paycheck.
In a few short days, I'll be back home with no paycheck.

My days go by something like this:

5:30 am.  The alarm goes off and I groan.
5:40 am.  The alarm goes off and I moan.
5:55 am.  Reality sets in.

I must get up.
I have to get up.
I am glad to get up.

8:00 am.  The kids are at school and I am where I need to be.
4:30 pm.  The kids are at home and I am not far behind them.

The front porch swing.
Good clothes still on; shoes are not.
Cup of coffee in hand. 

9:00 pm.  My day is done.

Supper is over. 
I have talked to everyone I want to talk to.
The nook battery is low.

The Lord and I discuss what the next month will bring- well, mainly I discuss it and He mostly stays silent. He sure is big on this trust thing. When the year first began, I remember thinking this will be the year everything changes. Now that the year is almost over, my thoughts are shifting towards THAT will be the year everything changes. And He is probably thinking will she ever get it?

Someday, Lord. Someday.
