test run

this morning we had a test run at our house!! tomorrow is the first day of 1st grade for mapboy!!!! we all very excited about this new phase in our house. he will be gone all day for the first time. last night was meet the teacher night at school. we got to see our room, talk with the teacher, pick out a desk and put our supplies in it!

as we walked the desks, my beloved son chose to sit in the front of the room almost completely surrounded by GIRLS!!!!! there are 2 new students to his school that he sits by so he can help show them around. he loved playing in his room and seeing all the cool things he will be doing! we have a great teacher and i'm so excited for this year.

princess is excited too!! she will have all day with mommy!! of course she will be doing preschool, but her whole life has been dominated by big brother. i'm sure polly world will see a lot less trauma, babies will most likely not be launched down the stairs, and chick flicks will be more frequent!!

and mommy??? i'm quite excited to experience maybe a little more peace and quiet.

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 ...
