the reality after the magic

visiting the magic kingdom was definitely not our norm! but on sunday evening we walked back through our back door into reality again. yuck....what does that mean for us?

hubby - work, where he currently has nothing to work on, a fence that needs painted, a porch that is falling apart, a yard that hasn't been mowed in 2 weeks, and a tub that needs the faucet fixed. nothing exciting there; atleast he doesn't think so!

mapboy - no more school, more battles over the tv, first season of t-ball, and summer chores. some exciting things, some not-so-exciting. mostly thrilled with checking on our birds, swinging, and playing with our dog oscar.

princess - the loss of time to play girl things like a girl, no more school, wearing sundresses, summer chores, lots of strawberries. mostly bothered by having brother around all day to "rescue her polly" from the trauma he creates. she likes her polly to just be happy in paradise.

me - picking strawberries, vbs chaos, picking strawberries, no more school, picking strawberries, children's ministry stuff, picking strawberries, painting a fence, organizing our house, picking strawberries, keeping children structured, figuring out what to do with all my strawberries.

ahhh....reality! isn't it grand?? i wouldn't call what's inside our back door magic but we are making our dreams come true day by day!

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 ...
