suprise!

this is a few days late, but still worthy of a post!

all year princess and her friend poppy seed would have play dates twice a week. dear friend would pick them up one day and i would pick them up the next. as moms, we had a guaranteed 2 day free time, and the girls of course loved it. they had 4 awesome teachers that each day would ask to come have lunch with them. the girls would giggle and say no.

well, dear friend and i decided that we would surprise the girls by having the teachers over for lunch this week. i told princess we were going to go play with poppy seed for a little while and maybe have lunch with them. dear friend had a large variety of food on the counter and the girls never asked why there was so much. we did finally tell them some other people might come by for lunch.

the doorbell rang and the 2 girls ran to the door. they were running at full speed and then came to an abrupt halt. it was the 4 teachers!!! they turned back, looked at me, and ran away. we all laughed and the girls decided they could stay for lunch. they were so quiet the whole time and then went off to play. the 6 of us ladies sat and laughed for a good 2 hours!!

it was so much fun to hear the stories and see that they really do love our girls. not that i every really wondered about that. but i loved spending some time with them and letting them know how much i appreciate what they have done for princess.

on the way home i asked princess if she enjoyed the lunch. she kinda smiled and said, "yeah, but we told them they had to work while we played. and today they played." not sure what she meant by that, but she was quite serious.

me, on politics

i despise politics. i never liked it, but i married a man fascinated with it. a man who wanted to be part of it all...and was, briefly. boy were our eyes opened... anyways...it seems like this election has several hot button topics. one of which is universal healthcare. my cousin started a blog called politics for mom and there have been several heated debates going on. i was reading several comments on healthcare. and frankly i was bothered! now, i don't know that a strict universal healthcare is the answer, but i do know that we have now doesn't work for the average person. here is our story.... hubby worked in a small business - 3 employees at the most that i can remember. we paid 1/2 our insurance..until it came to the point where our half each month was twice what we would pay if we were on our own. but for the owner it saved him money. so he agreed to cover ours in full. we were very grateful. i also know at times, that because of the healthcare cost, it was a struggle f...

the "calling"

okay - so it's been awhile since i've ranted...and it's time! it is beautiful outside and i'm sitting inside my makeshift office at the church. i am lucky enough to have a door that opens to the outside so it is wide open and i'm loving that. but as i'm working here today i feel the need to rant so enjoy.... being in my position i often have to ask people to help out. you know, volunteer to teach or work in the nursery or teach or hang out with the kids, you know - volunteer! i love all the responses i get. i am particularly fond of the "i don't like kids one" - it doesn't go over real well with me when they have 3 of their own. hmm??? but the one that really gets my goat is the "i don't feel called to that." argh...really!?!?!!?!? well, i didn't feel called to wipe my kids bottoms either, but it is a good thing i did it anyways. surprisingly, everyone feels called to the waterpark though! now, let me back up a ...
