Rest.

Do you ever have one of those days when you just wish you could go back to bed and start over? Then you realize that its only three o'clock and you still have more than half a day left? That was today.

Normally I leave for school around 8am. Today I left at 7am because I have to work on an in-class project before the class. Being a commuter, I either have to go into school before class or stay after and honestly, who likes staying after class? Not me.

I was almost to school when I ran a red light. I didn't think anything of it because the car behind me also went through. So, I thought I was safe. Well, just my luck a Police was sitting in the turn lane and basically shook his pointer finger at me to show me that he saw that. It made me instantly sick to my stomach. Bless his heart he didn't follow me, I owe him.

Well being that I had to be on campus meeting someone at 8, I parked where I normally park and went to my classes. Come 3 o'clock I get out to my car to find a delightful parking ticket on my car. State law says you have to be 20 feet away from all sidewalks, well I was 9 feet from the sidewalk. Praise the Lord the ticket was only $20. That's still $20 I will have to work for. Lesson learned.

Well as many know, I am also a full-time nanny on top of going to school. So, when I am done with school I go straight to work everyday. Today while the youngest was at dance, I went and picked up the middle one to get him out of the house for an hour. As we headed out of the driveway a car started following us. Sure enough by the time we were halfway to our house I realized that they weren't just following me, they were throwing either pennies or little rocks at all the parked vehicles on the road. As I rolled my windows down, I heard little "tings" and "pings" of little, solid items hitting vehicles. They continued to do it to all the cars down my road. Let's just say, the Sheriff's office was on it.

After today, I really hope that tomorrow is a better day. I could really use a day without anything to do with the police. But I will say, I have a huge amount of respect for all of our Policemen and Sheriffs. They deal with a lot of stuff around my hometown. Thank you for all you do. It is very appreciated.

I think it is time to actually go to bed and wake up tomorrow with a better attitude and a refreshed mind. Life can be crazy sometimes, and trust me I understand, but what we need to realize is that no matter what kind of day we have had, at the end of the day, God promises us rest. Matthew 11:38 says, "Come to me, all who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest." God doesn't break his promises.
