{ anyway... }

I'll be really honest, the last two weeks have been hard.

Adjusting to a new school, a new schedule, and a new routine has not been easy.

There have been more than a few tears shed, mostly by Hannah, but admittedly also by me.

The daily 45 minute commute has been filled with impassioned pleas from the back seat:

"Mommy, I just don't want to go to school!  I want to stay home with you!  Why do you leave me?"

Rip my heart out.

Things have been getting better this week, but just in time for the new school to announce that it's shutting it's doors due to low enrollment.

And so here we are.  Three weeks invested in transition, and already making another move.

Sometimes, you just need to cry.  And eat a doughnut.

But you know what?

For I can do everything through Christ, who gives me strength.

Philippians 4:13

So even though my morning tomorrow will most likely be filled with tears,

AND even though we have yet another school transition to look forward to next week,

AND even though I have no control over our adoption progress (or lack thereof), 

AND even though I have more work on my plate both at work and at home than is humanly possible,

AND even though the batch of pumpkin muffins I was baking as a method of procrastination from the aforementioned workload just came out of the oven scorched,

I know that everything will be fine.

³⁴ Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.

Matthew 6:34
