a first....

2 weeks ago princess came home with an invitation to her first slumber party! yikes? seriously, in 1st grade. *sigh* i guess she is just growing up. i could tell you that she was excited but that would be an understatement. she started packing that very day.....
i have to confess to being slighly torn about this whole event. i mean, she cries like crazy at grandma's house before bed - how would she survive the night at a friends house without her momma? funny thing here - at home i can't stand her cries for momma at night, but i guess there is something to liking the feeling of being needed.
so yesterday afternoon we dropped her off a friends house who volunteered to drop both the girls off at the party. she ran off with her friend and never looked back. seriously??? so this morning hubby picked up the 2 girls before church. they both ran right up to me full of giggles and smiles. i hugged princess and told her i was proud of her staying all night and asked if she cried at all. she smiled, looked up at me, and said, "i didn't even think about you once!" then off she went....

ah...my baby girl is growing up!!!

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 ...
