I just want to lie down and pause

Life just feels to be getting too ahead of me. I just want to lie down and pause the world for a bit so I can catch up. It's just so non stop. The days seem to be closing and I feel failure daily. I was on twitter too much, we didn't even read one book today, I forgot to make dinner so I fed the kids cereal, my house is turned up side down, and I have not done one thing for advent.


Rest. I keep hearing work from rest. Why is this so hard to do? When I can't seem to accomplish my normal things I know I need real rest but I keep going hoping I can get ahead, but the truth is it just makes me farther behind. 

Rest. Today sounds like a perfect day to rest. Kids are cancelled from school. We can't really go anywhere and I just love Christmas movies. Movies + coffee, sounds like a plan!

I'm truly not a Windau (my maiden name) when it comes to my alcohol consumption. I put my catholic roots to shame. I'm ok with that. I'm not a mean drunk, but a purely giggly & say inappropriate thing drunk. Today stung. It stung hard. Last Tuesday we got a call for a little 5 month old baby. Technically we got a call for 4 boys but for reasons that I will not share, we could only say yes to little guy. And then there was waiting. And more waiting because our agency couldn't find a home for 4 of the little guys, they came from a sibling group of 6. All 6. Boys. That would be headed for permanent custody. In my mind all the things lined up. I had prayed for an orphan. I had been learning about how to bond with a baby in the adoption sens...
