and we are off!!

princess is packed. mapboy is packed. hubby is packed. me? mostly packed. we are off in just a few hours!!

this trip should be quite the adventure. my kiddos have never had to ride such long days. when we did route 66 we did short days with a lot of stops along the way. at that time princess was just learning to crawl so sitting didn't bother her. thankfully the motorhome travel is complete with a large tv for viewing, room to move around in, a table to play games in, and i don't get car sick!!

i'm looking forward to some fun time together...this spring has been filled with disappointment and some tension around here. getting away will be good for all of us. since we have my parents with us i'm looking forward to the night where they keep the kiddos and we get a chance to have a date at disney! i've always wondered what that would be like - really i have. my best friend and i went to disney on a spring break trip in college and we talked about what we would do there if we were on a date. i know, pathetic, but when you are a junior in college and some of your friends are getting engaged that is what you think about!!!

okay - now i'm rambling and for those of you who know me that happens a lot when i get a little stressed. there are a few things left to pack up. i must vacuum and wipe down counter tops, and then my poor little oscar dog gets loaded up to visit the doggy hotel! i'm sure he is least excited about this trip!

anyways, dear friends, not sure that i'll check in down there...so you all have a great week and i'll let you know what kind of adventures we had!!!

many blessings

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 ...
