Today is one of those days that you just feel like you want to cry, or take a hot bath or both. This morning Scott accidentally left the front door unlocked while Judah and I were sleeping. It wasn't a super big deal and didn't think twice about it. Judah and I ate breakfast and got ready to go running around Burke Lake Park. I triple checked the door to make sure it was locked when I left the house.
While running around the park one of the tires on my Bob fell off! Judah took one off a few days ago so I know he must have loosened up the tire that fell off today. I managed to hold up the Bob and put the tire back on. My heart just wanted to run down my favorite path at the lake.
Judah was not happy to take pictures.
As I was running I noticed the lake was starting to dry up.
When I ran around the corner my heart fell because a sign blocked off the trail to my favorite path that always lifts up my heart. So I turned around and ran a few miles the opposite way.
We ran for 4 miles, played at the park and decided to stop by Starbucks for a treat. Judah screamed at me at Starbucks. He didn't want to let go of the cake pop he was holding but and refused to hold onto the milk and wanted me to feed him. I was almost in tears but knew that he was tired and that I can put him down for a nap when we finally get home.
When we arrived home I was trying to carry Judah and a few bags of groceries from Giant. The bags all broke in the front lawn and I had to put Judah down who ran towards the door. I looked up and it looked like someone had broken into my house. So I quickly picked up Judah, stuffed the groceries into my purse and called the police. I called the police who came out and I explained to them that the top security latch was pushed out like someone had propped open the door and the metal plate to our dead bolt was missing. Scott came home to also make sure we were okay. Nothing was missing. The police suggested that Judah might have pulled the security lock out when we left. But I wasn't holding Judah while we walked out and since Scott left the door unlocked this morning I triple checked to make sure it was locked when I left. At that point I was feeling slightly crazy but mostly discouraged. I know Judah didn't pull that latch out.
Right now I am feeling a bit tattered and worn from the day.
But I am praying tomorrow is better and hoping I can sleep tonight

Oh honey, the most important thing is that everyone is ok!
ReplyDeleteI had a scare earlier in August, people stole my work laptop (that was broken) and some work materials from my trunk!
Thankfully, the work/test materials were found on my neighbor's truck. But I guess...luck would have it that the laptop they stole, was completely dead.
It just feels like a total violation of your privacy and personal space.
Hope the rest of the week is a little better. At least your walk with Judah was a fun one!

DeleteI know those days, Jess. When all you want is some joy and all you get is frustration. You forget something in the house, you are almost out of gas, your kid poops and you forgot wipes, and your debit card doesn't work at the store. Tomorrow will be infinitely better. Love you, sweet friend.
ReplyDeletelove you sweet friend
Deletexoxo
What a day, I'm sorry Jess. That would be scary and super frustrating. I hope that Wednesday is a more peaceful day, and that the Lord would comfort you in the not-so peaceful moments :)
ReplyDeleteThank you sweet friend

ReplyDeletethis reminds me of a similar day we had a while back that ended in stella throwing her poop at her sisters in the back seat of the car. it was one of those moments god plans out for you, so you can have a good laugh at yourself and put life back into perspective.
Oh goodness, can I tell you the poop throwing story made me laugh out loud.
DeleteLove you sweet friend

That is a rough day! I hope tomorrow is a much better one. On a side note - that is a gorgeous lake! Looks like a great spot to go for a walk.
