"It came from behind..."

This picture is so typical Christopher--he is constantly climbing and leaping onto and off of anything...and if you are his target, look out--you probably won't see him coming.
Kelly says that I read way too much into things--part of that could possibly be genetics and part of that comes from being a woman--I could blame insanity--but is that situational?
Anyways (way too much deep thinking for this time of night --oh wait, I mean morning) I think the reason I chose to blog around this picture is because I feel like this has been my life lately...things keep jumping me from behind...things that I should probably see coming. Since when did I have lines around my eyes, an official pair of "mom" jeans (what?), a weak bladder, or a daughter who now wears a bra? I guess you would think that as a mom or even just as a woman, you inherit a certain "spidey" sense--able to anticipate in a split second what is coming and instinctively react.
I'm not proud to admit it but during Spring Break I let some good habits slip a bit and am now reaping the consequences. Whenever I get too relaxed in my scripture study or personal prayers, that awareness seems to slip away. When I am diligent in doing those simple things, I feel like I am able to anticipate challenges that may come and react in a way that is positive and productive.
It seems like lately I've felt sluggish spiritually--and I need my "spidey" sense back--Kelly told me tonight that he wished we could just cut out the part of my brain that holds on to things and can't let go of things that don't matter (I was expressing some stress to him)--and as I've sat here thinking about how to let things go, I realize that I need to be able to hand those things off. But who wants that garbage? Who wants to take my mess and clean it up?
I know Someone who does and Someone who will--it's just up to me to hand it off to Him and let Him handle the rest...then I can get back to anticpating the challenges that come and prepping myself as Christopher's next landing zone...it's late now--and I'm off to over think things and try again tomorrow...

Seriously?

Okay--I'm beginning to think that something is truly wrong with me! I am actually starting to enjoy "Yo-gabba, gabba". Seriously?

Cross your fingers...
