Ah, the New Year. My least favorite time of the year probably because it always meant back to school after a nice, long vacation. Staying up late...sleeping late...Christmas movies...eating way too much junk...spontaneous trips to anywhere...watching daytime TV (not very thrilled there)...but NOT ONE MINUTE of school work! So now I am a hypocrite. There, I said it. I am a HYPOCRITE! I told my kids, upon leaving for Christmas break, to study everyday because we have exams in two weeks. And yet, I did not set the example. There's nothing I can do about that now. I did plan my lessons for tomorrow, but that is about the extent of the school work. Besides, I have friends needing me to play WORDS WITH FRIENDS! I cannot disappoint my friends! (At this point, I am checking my Kindle Fire to see if it is my turn to play...then Facebook calls...and ANGRY BIRDS are chirping...)
Okay God, here is mess #1. We need to work on this ADD-thing. It really gets in the way.....oh look, Daisy found the catnip! See what I mean! It is uncontrollable! (Excuse me while I make an enormously high-scoring word with my friend.)
Okay, I'm back...
Breakfast was a nice spread by the ladies today at church. Lunch was the traditional New Year's meal of black-eyed peas, greens, cabbage, mashed "taters," ham, mac and cheese....I'm forgetting something...oh, and cornbread....all courtesy of my mother-in-law. Dinner was the inaugural run to the new Cook-Out in Morganton. It appeared all of Burke County was doing that inaugural run as well. (Excuse me again....another friend needs a word.)
So, it appears today, God, that the ADD may need immediate attention. And while You are at it, I really need an extra measure of "umph" to get me through tomorrow. I mean more "umph" than a cup of coffee and a Mountain Dew can give. And I really think this prayer could be answered with just one thing: SNOW!! But that's just my opinion; You know best.
