The days ahead

I have been consumed with planning for the days ahead. Lists and lists and lists. Best price for this, how many will I need of that? What about this date? No? ok this date? No? Hmmmmm. And I am just struck by the absurdity of living for tomorrow to the point of missing out on today. Now trust me missing out on today would be heavenly....everyone of our kids have ear infections. I spent two hours at the doctor with just the boys....lots of crying and ibuprofen and missed naps..... But I am talking about the today that makes tomorrow worth living. So I am going to go outside with my box of kleenex ( for noses not my crying) in the 80+ degree weather because my sweet Gabriel wants me to. My lists will wait till later.....like in the middle of the night when I can't sleep:)
