Day 53

It has been a busy day and it is time to rest now. I have finished my ten things for the day. I am starting to lose track of what day I am on. I have forty seven days left :) I am starting to look forward to it. I would rather spend more time on some of the things I am doing. But for now I am trying to keep each thing to ten minutes and not go  to far over that.

I practiced my Spanish and piano again today. I read my books and finished one of them.I will start another one tomorrow. I worked on algebra and I figured out what I was missing. That made me very happy.I did not want to ask for help. I worked out in the yard today. I thought I would get more done before rain comes. It was beautiful out at about eleven o'clock this morning .

It was sunny and it felt like spring to me. I did not keep to my ten minutes. I stayed out for about half an hour. I also went over back stuff on the course I started up again. I did some organizing today and then it was time to wrap gifts and bake.I think I spent about half an hour looking for cookie cutters I thought I bought. It reminded me of an insane morning I had about three or four years ago.

It was one of those days where nothing seemed to go right and I did not sleep well at all the night before. I had my mind set on what I was going to wear and a plan B was not an option to me. I had most of my outfit all together except for the khaki pants I wanted to wear. I looked everywhere. I checked the laundry room two or three times . I went through my dresser drawers and went through the closets. I could not find them for the life of me.

After about an hour and a half of looking I started having a temper tantrum. I refused to look for anything else to wear, I wanted those pants. I decided I was going take every last item out of my closet and drawers until I found them. I started flinging each item of clothing in the center of my bed room , griping to myself the whole time. Finally I have this big pile of clothes in the middle of my floor and I still could not find my pants. I went over and flung myself on the bed and I was laying there thinking how can a pair of pants just walk away. This is ridiculous.

Then all of a sudden it dawned on me, I don't own a pair of khaki pants like that. I looked at them in a store a few months earlier and I tried them on along with a brown pair. I was going to get both but I ended up just settling on the brown pair. I did have a pair of khaki ones but they looked nothing like that. I just sat there in disbelief . I spent a total of two hours searching the house and having a fit over a pair of pants I didn't even own. I looked over at my pile of clothes I flung on the floor and realized not only do I have to look for a different out fit to wear, but now I had to put all those clothes away. I never did that again.

For everything that was written in the past was written to teach us, so that through endurance and the encouragement of the scriptures we might have hope.   ROMANS 15:4
