Stop the World I want to get off

Some days I just wish I could stop the world. Don't get me wrong--I love life and everything. I just, I just want a break. I don't want to go to work, and I don't want do the dishes and I don't want to take the trash out. I just want to sleep. And sulk if I want to. And have choice words with God if I feel like it. And just take some time to get my head around the reality that is my life. I feel like my world changes so often and so fast that I spend my whole existence adjusting to the new state of things, only to have it change again just as I'm catching my breath.

The wind is whipping everything up today. Leaves, trash--I actually saw a beach ball blowing down a city street. The weather today is comforting to me--it seems to me that God is voicing my irritation with everything and that He's still there...and I know He only stirs up my life so I hold onto Him --our shelter in the storm. But sheesh... I'd run for cover in a light drizzle, wouldn't I? No need for a deluge.
