the last day

this morning i woke up bright and early. okay, for most of you this time is normal, but today i was back up at 6:45. i got my shower and then got the kiddos up. they got up, but mapboy quickly was a little, should i say, bothered, by not being able to watch tv or go play. but they ate their breakfast. well, half. and ran to play. at 9:30, they were starved. i calmly explained, "sorry, tomorrow your teacher won't care that you are hungry. tomorrow eat all your breakfast."

yes....we head back to school tomorrow. mapboy got his hair cut. the supplies are in their desks and they practiced eating from their lunch bags today. and tonight, they will once again go to bed early and once again get up early. i think they are ready.

in honor of daddy not having a "job" and being home with us and the last day of school we went mini-golfing and had ice cream. it was a wonderful afternoon. and well now....the life of order returns.

and for me - i have a coffee date - for as long as we want!!!

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 ...
