A call from the school nurse a few weeks back scrambled life in our home for days. Bagging up toys, washing clothes, shampooing heads, changing sheets, spraying everything. The dreaded "head lice" call! It eventually creeps into most homes but for some reason we think we're immune until we get the official call. And those little pests know which head is the warmest and thickest. My neck ached and my eyes were crossed by the time I had combed through all the strands of hair in our home. The kids didn't seem to mind so much because they were allowed to watch "Good Luck Charlie" episodes in succession.
Mixed into the head lice scare was a painful bump in Matt's ear. This bump led to numerous doctors visits, two surgical procedures, and three rounds of antibiotics. Poor guy wasn't himself for weeks.
Smashed in with that was a little jury duty action for me that lasted nearly a week. Then to top it all off our life was sprinkled with Matt starting a new part time job. Quite the recipe for a frazzled home. Thankfully God kept our bodies breathing and our hearts pumping without us having to give it a second thought. He kept the world spinning and was faithful to give a morning sunrise and evening sunset each day without our help. He was still in control in the midst of our chaos.
All in all things are slowing down now...only to pick up again. Stay tuned!
