Is that the light at the end of the tunnel....

Or is it just a train!? Okay, so as I sit here I am smack in the middle of 6 nights at WRMC. Yep, you read that right. I am currently on the downhill slide of night #4. I don't want to mince words here....let me be very clear....THIS SUCKS!! I am EXHAUSTED. Not only that, but I'm mad. Wanna know why? I'm mad because I am so tired that all I want to do is sleep. I'm mad because my house is a wreck because for the last 5 days all I've done is sleep, and go to work. I'm literally about 8 loads of laundry behind. I feel like I haven't seen my Hannah is forever and my hubby in even longer than that. I'm mad because for the first time in a long time, I have FUN plans for this weekend, but my conscience is getting to me. "Breanna, are you really going to go to WinterJam when your house is in such shambles?" "Breanna, are you really even tossing around the idea of having people over to your house for the Superbowl, when you're pretty sure that there are bowls of unidentifiable foods growing mold in your refrigerator?"

YEP!! I sure am!!

You wanna know why? Because I am tired of letting life and all the good stuff that goes with it pass me by. When I was driving to work tonight, I started thinking about the fact that my baby is 6 years old! DID YOU HEAR THAT?? 6 YEARS OLD! I've been blessed to be her mommy for 6 wonderful years.....6 years that have literally flown by. F-L-O-W-N-B-Y!!! I'm never going to get those days back. All the snuggles, and stories, and laughs, and highs, and lows, and all things in between...they are just memories now. I can't change them, anymore that I can change all the wasted moments. So, where am I going with this....each moment we're given is a blessing. A chance to make a memory. Will it really hurt anything if those dishes in the sink don't get done because you're playing candyland with your daughter. Or, so what if the shower could use a good scrubbing, but your spending precious moment just "catching up", cuddled under the covers with the one you love!! None, of that stuff matters. Now, don't get me wrong....I'm not an advocate for nastiness, but I am most certainly an advocate for taking advantage of the time the Lord gives you. A very wise friend of mine has coined the term, "what's it going to matter in a hundred years anyway?" You know, he's right. Some of the things that we make "priorities" aren't worth worrying about. When you're 85 and looking back on your life are you going to lament all the dirty dishes, or laundry that got backed up? Nope, you'll regret the moments that you wasted, that you could have used to make beautiful memories.

So, WinterJam here I come....and Go Patriots (even if I'm wearing dirty socks, and growing my own penicillin!!). That light I see, may be a train...but I headed towards it, full speed ahead, with no hesitation! :)
