eating my words

every morning i walk mapboy to the bus stop. of course, like all kids he is always looking for reasons for there to be a school delay. one very rainy morning this fall he asked if we would have a rain delay. i chuckled and said, "oh, rain is not a reason for a delay. just a reason to use the umbrellas!"

so this morning when hubby announced yet another 2 hour delay i cringed. looking outside i could see this "winter ice storm" had already turned to rain. so i started reordering my day around the 2 hour delay point. princess and i were going to run some much needed errands and just enjoy some quiet.

while in the shower i could hear the phone ringing. when i checked the messages i saw it was from my dear friend. assuming she was calling to see if we wanted to have some much needed girl fun time i returned the call. as she told me of the change from delay to cancelled i about screamed!! this is insane guys...

so yes, mapboy, apparently in northern indiana there is such a thing as a rain delay!!!! princess once asked about a dark delay, i guess you just never know!

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 ...
