Me and my big mouth! I know some of you are not surprised so no comment from the peanut gallery. 🙂

We were eating lunch at Wendy’s after church on Sunday when I made the comment about not having to shovel snow and maybe our kids will actually have close to two full weeks for Spring Break. Aaaaah Yeah. Me saying that was like someone washing their car. You just know it is going to rain! I woke up at 4 this morning with snow falling-enough which required shoveling at home; cleaning off my truck and Jo’s car; then heading to the office where I proceeded to shovel some more.

WHO IN THE WORLD TOLD ME TO SAY ANYTHING ABOUT NOT SHOVELING? Oh yeah, that be me. School was cancelled and as I write this it is still snowing and I suspect school will be cancelled tomorrow as well. Owen County has tons of back roads. Uneven back roads. Treacherous back roads.

The weather has and will change a lot of plans. Oh yeah…that old thing of not being in control. Know what I’m talking about? It seems like I have been talking to my share of people lately where control/not having it is an issue.  Ironically, I read this again today:

Your dreams may not be happening, and things aren’t turning out the way you expected, but that doesn’t mean your life is spinning out of control. It just means you’re not in control.  Plan B by Pete Wilson-p.22

Control also comes back to waiting. Waiting patiently or not. I’m still working this thing out in my mind. If you don’t mind, I will do more thinking out loud in another post. 🙂

So…is having control a major issue with you? Do you freak if you don’t? Do you just go with the flow?
