Adventure:

My definition of adventure - going beyond your limits and experiencing something new and coming back into place a better person.  One's adventure might be short or might seem never ending.
This week for me has been an adventure for me, with one little thing after another taking me beyond my limits.  Dealing with not only my hormones but those of my two daughters who have been transformed into very different people, and all the little mishaps that seem to be more mountains than the little things that they are.  Like milk being spilt on our modem and shorting it out, or the printer running out of ink in the middle of a school day or the potty training toddler who does not like to sit on the toilet or finding out that the piles of dirt on the veranda are your two smashed pot plants that the boys knocked over and last of all hearing your little boy say, "Oh no mommy!" at the supermarket till with a cue of trolleys behind you, only to find he has deposited a little puddle by his feet. 
Yes, this week as been an adventure of note:  being stretch beyond me but hoping to come back into place better for it.
And I thank you Lord for such days.

Something New

So amoung the chaos at home, with new adventures being tried out daily, I am trying to find a bit of space to give blogging a try.  As I type, my littlest one lies squirming on the bed, unhappy with life as toddlers usually are.  I can hear the bird chatting and the other kids discussing something and the dog barks madly at passing strangers.  So will this too just be a tried adventure?
