Friday Confessions

I confess... my tailbone hurts. I dont know what I did, but it hurts... to the point that I am sitting here almost in tears. I broke it last summer, had it surgically reset, and now it hurts again. Oh Lord, I need comfort.

I confess... that I am THRILLED my parents come home from South Africa today. I am used to talking to my mom daily and I havent heard her sweet voice in almost 2 wks.

I confess... that last Friday night my heart was singing. It see my husband be active at church makes me smile. To see him interact with all these other Christian men makes me know good things are coming for my family.

I confess... speaking of singing, I was asked to be part of a Mother's Day show at church. I am a little (a lot) nervous b/c its been years since I have sang in public... well, out side of my seat at church or in my car with the windows down. LOL

I confess... I am feeling a little overwhelemed at work... but there are only so many hours in the day, so I can only do what I can do right?

Blah Day

Ever just had one of those days you feel blah?

That was me yesterday... very busy at work, didnt feel like doing much when I got home, took the kids to dinner instead of cooking, got in the tub to relax and that caused me to put my PJ's on at 630 and lay around the rest of the night. I hope I am not getting sick... I am missing my mom... they come home Friday from being 2 weeks in South Africa. Its been a long time without hearing her voice (we've only been able to text). I am sure that is part of it as well. I hope my blah day was just God's way of saying "take a break for a bit".

Random Fun Stuff

MercyMe is coming back to Utah in the fall... Yay!!

My parents are uploading pictures from their hunting trip in South Africa... they are there until Friday, but its fun to see the pictures. As much fun as they are having, I am ready for them to be home!!

My husband is feeling much better... hopefully the weather gets better and we can go for a ride.

The rock chip in my windshield maybe fixed today... not exactly fun, but random!!

Pizza, Pizza, and more Pizza.

If I could turn into a food, it would be pizza... only because I've had pizza 3x over the past couple days.

Not sure how that happened b/c I am not that much of a pizza lover... but Thursday I had a pizza craving, so we went to the Circle Inn... Saturday I had pizza when we went to Steiny's... and then my work brought in pizza for lunch today. They were all such different pizzas, but oh so yummy. I can feel my butt getting bigger by the minute!!

For the Love of Baseball?

I just read a terrible story about a man who was beat down at a baseball game b/c he had the wrong team's clothing on... this man is a father, a paramedic, and now is in a coma with brain damage. Makes me sick. I pray that they find who did this to him and that justice is served, but more than that I pray for healing for this man and comfort for his family.

Favorite Things Swap

We just completed the Favorite Things Swap from Mamarazzi and I had a lot of fun getting together my favorite things to send to Amy at http://nine-ninety-one.blogspot.com/. I wish I would have taken a picture of what I sent to her, but didnt think of it until after I mailed it. Oops!





"Mom! Look at how many stamps there are!!!" Drew was so excited!

Travel Mug with my initial. An animal print bag. Slipper socks that have lotion in them. An Easter Wall Hanging for my front door. A Pandora-ish bracelent. A Sonic gift card. Reeses Candy. Nail Polish. A Scub brush.

This scrub brush is awesome. Its for Breast Cancer Awareness. The cool thing about this is that I didnt tell Amy about my mom... and when I got this in the mail, there was a note saying her mom was a survivor too.

Thank you Amy... I loved my gifts. I hope you enjoyed yours as well!

Friday Confessions

* I confess that today I am taking Drew to the children's hospital. He has been 2 yrs since his last seizure so we are praying that he is able to get off his meds. Part of me is happy about that, the other part is nervous b/c if the seizures are being controlled by the meds and he goes off, he will start having them again. I pray that he has outgrown them and this is a thing of our past.

* I confess that its been a stressful week with my hubby. On Monday night, he hit a wet/ice spot on the motorcycle coming home from the mechanic, spun out, and dumped the bike on top of himself. I was behind him in the car, jumped out, had to help lift the bike off him, etc. He hurt his shoulder, ribs, and hip, along with other little cuts and bruises. The bike wasnt too badly hurt, the mechanic was able to fix it for $60. Bryan can barely move, is loopy on pain meds, and just hurts bad. We debated all day if we should go get it or wait b/c it would rain/snow and then clear up to blue skies and we finally decided to go and now I wish we would have waited.

* I confess that Drew was the goofiest looking soccer player at practice last night. The coach called earlier in the week and said practice would be last night so I told Drew to get all his stuff together... and he says, "I only know where my cleates and socks are". Well... ya need a shirt, shorts, shinguards, etc... so they tore the house apart yesterday before I got there looking for it all and when I got home from work to pick him up he had a neon yellow soccer jersey on, black basketball shorts on, gold socks, 1 shinguard, and his cleats. He looked like a train wreck. The bad thing is, I couldnt remember what color their team is (they get their uniforms in the fall and then have a break and the rest of the season starts in the spring) so I had to call the AYSO lady, go to her house, have her tell me that the shirt is correct, the socks were wrong and get a new pair of socks from here b/c those were the only ones we could find. What a mess!!

* I confess that I dont like being alone... next weekend the kids are with their other parents, my parents will be out of the country, and my husband has to work open to close on Saturday. That is an entire day of being alone. I get antsy... then lazy... then I'll go spend money I shouldnt. Maybe something is going on at church... maybe I could go to the movies... Someone come be my friend that day, will ya?
