Fall
It's officially fall in Germany, which means it feels like winter when you're from the south. I had forgotten how cold and wet it can be during certain months. It's kind of like child-birth....you forget the bad parts because there is so much good that comes out of it! I'm wearing my "Jesus Loves Housewives" shirt today, which people find offensive. I wonder why. It doesn't say that Jesus DOESN'T love other wives, and it has Proverbs 31 as the Scripture reference, which covers just about any job a woman could have. To be easily offended is one of the worst ways to live. I tell my kids constantly, "Treat it like water rolling off a duck's back." They've seen that in person, so they get it. If it won't matter next week, it doesn't matter right now. This weather does make a person tired, though. The sun is coming up around 730 and going down around 530. Soon enough it'll only be "up" around 7 hours a day
