I appreciate being off work on the Monday after Daylight Savings

No jobs came up for today.  I always enjoy working, but I can't deny having today off isn't a bad thing.  I often think this is one of the roughest work days of the year.  I went back to sleep after everyone left, and our sweet Abby came and slept with me.  Once I got up, she has settled in and cuddled right next to me.  There are many, many things I should be doing, but honestly, this is so peaceful and comforting just like this.  Having our sweet pup curled up right next to me makes my heart full.

Overall, our family had a decent weekend.  I am finding parenting teens to be the most stressful thing I could have ever imagined.  Honestly, it is terrifying.  Parenting teens keeps me in a constant conversation with God.  I appreciate my faith and I'm grateful for it, but I really don't think there is anything in this world that can make me feel more vulnerable than parenting.  We had a surprise visit from very dear friends this weekend, and it was so wonderful to get to spend a few hours with them.  They are so incredibly supportive, and they love us and understand.  They have had their own struggles as parents, and I never forget that.  I am so grateful for them and their surprise visit.

Today is an absolutely gorgeous day.  There is some sun and temps near 60.  It's a lovely day to be off!
