Awwww!!!!
Here we sit in the beautiful mountains of Deep Creek Lake. The scenery is absolutely breath taking, and I need an attitude adjustment.
What????
Yes. I have planned this family vacation for a year now, and everything I thought we would do, we probably will NOT do. How frustrating!!!
It is difficult to plan activities that interest all ages from a teenage boy wanting adventure and thrill, to a little 6 year old girlie girl who just wants to color in a coloring book. WOW!! What a challenge!!
I am noticing how my disappointment with weather, inability to do the activities I WANT to do & planned is affecting the mood of my family.
So I need an attitude adjustment, and give this vacation to the Lord and all He wants it to be for us. To enjoy my family no matter what activities we do. Even if it is just playing on the computer together or watching a movie. We are together without all the distractions and responsibilities that we have at home (Thanks to Hubby for helping me realize this).
So I am going to start out each day asking
"OK, Lord. What do you have for us today?"
And go with it and enjoy it!!

Home sick
Today is day 2 that I have been away from my family. I am away for work. Four full days of training that I had to travel out of state for.
It's not that I have not been away without my hubby and kids before, I have.
Ususally it is a fun ladies retreat, or girls getaway.
Usually, I only do an overnight.
Usually, I am on my way home by now, if not home already.
I think I am also ready to be home knowing that I still have 2 more nights away. It makes it seem so long away.
Normally its a fun trip or a business trip with my hubby. He is the one in training and I am running around having fun. Now it is me having the training and not having hubby or kids or having fun.
Not fun in the sense of a pleasure trip, but we are having our laughs and giggles. And I do enjoy my coworkers that I am with. So it is not horrible, just that I miss my family.
We have tests everyday and will have a final at the end of training. I better get back to studying.
