Escape

Some days I feel like I am constantly on the brink of a break down...

This week has been filled with such days...
We will just highlight a few of these moments for mine and your sake;).

- locking myself out of a family friend's home while feeding their cat (yes, I have a gift; no, I have no idea how I manage to lock myself out of places all the time!)

- walking into my new classroom filled with things and I have no idea where to even begin. I walk in circles 90% of the time. I am struggling to imagine it all coming together although I know it will...well it must, so yeah. I am thankful for this crazy in my life because I know that many sweet memories will be had in there this year.

- coming home from working in the classroom that is about to swallow me whole to find that I have to fill out loads of paperwork that I have already filled out.

- bills....can I get an amen...praise the Lord for insurance.

- restless nights from all of the excitement

When I have these weeks, all I can think about when I stop are the places I want to escape to. Today I stop to plan my great escape....

My perfect escape involves mountains, a beautiful lake, perfect weather (shorts and long sleeves), a gentle breeze, a hammock, new and beautiful tunes playing softly somewhere, delicious fresh foods, and a book that inspires. Campfire at night with s'mores, live campfire music praising God for his beautiful handiwork, and wrap it all up with some fun story time. All in the company of someone special...no not like that... any and all who are pleasant and fun to be with:).



While this won't be happening anytime soon, I look forward to those more brief escapes that I hope will offer a bit of refreshing.
Morning runs; music, coffee, and Jesus; driving...maybe a nice little jam sesh;); and a nice weekend with my fun niece and pregger big sis and the rest of the fam.
(Get ready for all the pictures to flood your instagrams;) Who knows what mischief we will get into).

For now it's back to work. Feel free to kidnap me anytime for that perfect escape;).
