A Metamorphosis of Sorts
As I sat down to finish my Bible study for the day, I had already gotten a lot done. My sensitive sniffer detects some sort of stink in the living room and I can't for the life of me figure out where it is. I used leather wipes on the couches, vacuumed and febrezed the carpet, dusted, cleaned the front door, lit a candle, I can't think of much more that I can do. I looked under and behind the sofas but I just can't find where the smell is coming from. It smells like I need to take the trash out but the smell has stayed through several garbage changings. My last guess is that it is from the leak in the ceiling from when the heater thing in the attic leaked. I really doubt it is that though. I even checked the air filter. And, no it isn't me, I took a shower. :)
Well, the house is clean anyway. The laundry is done, beds made, bathrooms cleaned, kitchen floor cleaned (second time this week) and I even worked out this morning stretching and doing a Bible study on David while I used the elliptical machine. My reason for mentioning this however is not to brag but to basque in the moment of having a clean house, two Bible studies done, worked out and a shower all before 2pm because I know that once this baby comes I will never for the rest of my life have such a day as today...oh yeah and to sit down and blog about it over a relaxing cup of tea (okay maybe some little green monster of bragging snuck in there...oops). I suddenly have that feeling that comes when a roller coaster is slowly making its way up to the top of the first hill before the peace ends and life gets crazy. Life will be all new. I've seen many women lose parts of themselves to be renewed in a whole new more beautiful way when they became mommies. I have envied them for so long I confess. Adam and Charis have changed me in a way I never imagined and to my two babys I will forever be greatful. Now to look forward to a baby to fill my arms, a new road awaits. I have seen women's focus become sacrificial, enjoying a pretend adventure under a fort of bed sheets more than a day at a spa or marveled more over a child's first written legible letter than a big company merger. I'm already losing sleep and comfort as my baby grows and takes over my body. I'm sure what feels a bit like a hostile take over is my preview of what is to come. I can't wait. :)
