Normally, I love October. It is traditionally my favorite month (doesn't everyone feel that way about their birthday month?). It is always such a beautiful month, and this year has been no exception. I have found a great deal of comfort in the changing leaves, and know that God has painted the scenery! This year though, October was a tough month. In addition to my brother-in-law's illness, the passing of my two great-aunts and the illness of our cat, we have continued to deal with teenage drama on nearly a daily basis. It is draining and exhausting. In addition, my volunteer "job" has been ridiculous. I understand as a stay-at-home mom I am the parent with the most time available to get things done. However, the assumptions that I will just take care of it is getting old. I ended up being responsible for senior night even though I wanted no part of it. However, it isn't fair to the seniors to let it go by the wayside. I know that by handling it the assumption that I always will is going to continue, but it's just not fair to the kids.
Anyway, enough of my whining. While it's been stressful, it's also been a beautiful month. However, I am ready to move out of October and into November, and I continue to pray daily for peace and harmony in our home!
