Having a house full of teenagers means a few things. I am forever running to the shop for food. They seem to be ravenous ALL THE TIME. A snack or bowl of cereal just one hour after supper is the norm. They’re growing too, I get that. The biggest issue I have is the messy bedrooms. Wet towels left on the bed, on the floor or half hung over the door in such a way that it doesn’t dry. Shoes lying around, more than one pair, scattered like debris after a spring tide. Cupboard doors never closed, clothes drawers left ago. And bodies draped all over the furniture. Yes I know they will grow up and leave home and my home will remain tidy then and I will miss them. But can’t we just have a compromise now. Can’t they just tidy up a little bit? Hang up wet towels, close cupboard doors and pack things away? Empty bowls and used mugs are the new décor item and life is noisy and busy. A few years ago it was toys and uneaten food. Sigh! I need to just hang in there and get through it I suppose.

I remember as a girl hearing stories of my dad and my aunt being awake for hours at night and thought that would be the worst thing in all the world. I was right. I inherited the sleep curse and spend many early mornings wide awake. Getting up makes it worse, so I just lay in bed, thinking of things. Sometimes I have great ideas, other times the thoughts are more mundane and don’t solve any problems Some nights I spend time talking to God or singing songs in my head. But most nights my thoughts just wander from topic to topic. I haven’t figured out a pattern for these sleepless nights, nor a solution. So I try to make the best of it...and take a nap the next day if possible!

I can't wait to hear about something you're currently dealing with!

Happy Scrappin'
