I have been working on a post this morning. It just didn’t come together like I wanted it to/thought it should. So I’m stepping back to punt.

• we (Wild Boy and I) both fell back asleep this morning. 
• ugh.
• he was late to school, grumpier than usual and I have mommy-guilt out the wazoo.
• and it’s drizzling.
• it’s already 8:25 and I’ve accomplished nothing.
• oh! I did empty the dishwasher.
• my Christmas tree is still nekked. 
• my excuse for the nekked tree is “we are waiting for Shawn to get home so we can decorate the tree as A Family.) 
• And I’m stickin’-to-it.
• my bible study materials, bible, journal, etc., are all stacked up on the couch. 
• Untouched for days.
• this post has turned into a “the confessions of a soon-to-be-50-something mom.”
• being a teenager is hard.
• being the parent of a teenager is really hard.
• I had my entire week planned out and nothing is going the way I planned it.
• I hate that.
• I expected that.
• I am struggling with some jealousy and guilt this morning. 
• Those two together are wicked ugly.
• closing this post with Psalm 6:11: “You reveal the path of life to me; in Your presence is abundant joy; in Your right hand are eternal pleasures.” HCSB

Love you guys. See y’all soon.
