ah..it's friday!

that is how i usually feel this time of the week. and this week is no exception. friday's for me mean spending most of the day at home with princess. i usually plan to have nowhere to go and do the cleaning in the house. princess loves to just play and does so rather quietly. we cuddle and read from time to time and she offers to help around the house!

this past week has been filled with lots of running around. more than normal. our church is remodeling and this is the week the bids are due. since it is a project for children's ministry i'm the one answering questions and pretending to know what i'm talking about to these contractors! i've spent a lot of time at the church doing just that.

we have also decided to do some car shopping. so we've been test driving cars, which means picking one up and switching seats around then taking it back swithcing seats around again. all very exciting, but just more running around.

so yesterday all i could do was stop and say, "ah....tomorrow is friday!" after we picked up car #2 (which i love by the way!) we headed to get some milk and a few other necessary items. i realized everyone in this sleepy town was stocking up for the big snow storm we were supposed to get overnight. great....i bet we have a delay!!

the snow plows and some guy who must find great humor in honking his very annoying horn in the wee morning hours woke us all up by 6:20. at 6:40 mapboy turns on his radio and comes running in saying school is cancelled!! i roll out of bed and look out thinking we can't have more than 3 or 4 inches and it is cancelled?? sure enough!! no school today, but do you think anyone decides to crawl back into bed? oh no. argh.....

this has been one long winter. i hear myself saying, "when i was your age we went to school in more snow than this!" but i stop myself, okay, so hubby and i really had this conversation this morning. it's another day at home, another day to make up, and one that will definitely not be quiet!!!

i prayed in the shower for great patience and a loving attitude! but i'm running out of snow day fun!!!!!!!!!!!!

I just had to laugh at your comments about a snow day...your strife and sighs are my sighs of relief and smiles of joy! I don't like making up days either, but ahhh...the joy in being home with my kids instead of at work...isn't it funny how God gives us all different perspectives...try to enjoy the day anyway Chris...you aren't running errands at least, right? Keep smiling...love ya, Tricia

me, on politics

i despise politics. i never liked it, but i married a man fascinated with it. a man who wanted to be part of it all...and was, briefly. boy were our eyes opened... anyways...it seems like this election has several hot button topics. one of which is universal healthcare. my cousin started a blog called politics for mom and there have been several heated debates going on. i was reading several comments on healthcare. and frankly i was bothered! now, i don't know that a strict universal healthcare is the answer, but i do know that we have now doesn't work for the average person. here is our story.... hubby worked in a small business - 3 employees at the most that i can remember. we paid 1/2 our insurance..until it came to the point where our half each month was twice what we would pay if we were on our own. but for the owner it saved him money. so he agreed to cover ours in full. we were very grateful. i also know at times, that because of the healthcare cost, it was a struggle f...

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 ...
