Vacation Bible School + 2 kids old enough to attend = a vacuum. Not vacuum as in the apparatus that suctions up bits about the floor but rather a vacuum of time crying out to be filled...
I know what I should have done with this vast and open number of minutes (and hours, even! 9 until noon - wow!). I should have been working; making phone calls and business contacts and all the administrational "stuff" I just should have been completing.
[A side note, since detours off focus and topics seem to be allowed by me to guide my existence: "Should be"s and "should have"s must be one of the ruling forces in a mother's life. Scratch that: "Should be"s and "should have"s must be one of the ruling forces in a person in our must-be-busy-all-the-time society's life.]
Instead, after my chiropractor appointment, I felt nudged to visit a woman from church - a pillar of calm strength and someone I hope I can refer to as a friend. And now, as minutes dwindle away, I think of readying myself to leave for child pick-up. Another day filled with blessings.
