the rain in spain

yesterday 22 of us from our church headed into chicago to see my fair lady! it was mostly couples, but my dear hubby dreads any kind of musical!! knowing, he'd most likely go if i begged really hard (so okay, REALLY HARD) he was kind enough to suggest i take a friend and go. so at last minute i called a friend of mine and we headed to chicago with the rest of the gang!

it was awesome!! i was so impressed. i love audrey hepburn and i admit to being a bit skeptical about miss eliza doolittle, but the actress was amazing. i love broadway so this was a dream day for me. there were several husbands along that weren't all that impressed. one came along for the dinner in china town after the play and i hear rumors he caught a nap during act 1. another husband that is atleast 6'3 was not at all interested in the musical or chinese food. the poor guy had to ride in the back seat of the van for 2 hours to chicago, then sit in very tight seats for another 3 hours. he was greatly relieved to find the concessions sold sour patch kids and even more relieved to find a cheeseburger and french fries in china town.

i couldn't have asked for more fun!! deep inside i wanted to be on the stage dancing all night and singing...but then reality hit and i realized that is not gonna happen!

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 ...
