favorite moment

i have to chuckle about mapboy! he cracks me up quite a bit. last night we had gotten some snow, but woke up to clear roads. he came down all dressed and was really cute. i turned the radio on and they started listing some school delays. mapboy was quite attentive to this and ran to the tv. he knows which station lists his school so he sat in great anticipation. he noticed a neighboring town was on delay and he was getting really antsy. but to his great disappointment there was no delay. this is part of what cracks me up....he now has a tummy ache, ear ache, sore throat, hurting jaw and most definitely can't eat. hmm.....

after coaxing some warm cider down him and a piece of toast i gave him some tylenol to help the ouchy jaw(he has complained a few days about this one - most likely a new molar!) and off he went. we kind of trudged to the bus stop and had a nice conversation about fog, rain, and snow.
i kindly told him he did not need to visit the nurse today and sent him on his way.

so this afternoon princess and i waited at the bus stop. this is what i love.....as he turns the corner he always waves out his window to me with a great big smile! i love that!! today i got the wave and smile, but i also got a great big "GUESS WHAT!!!!????!?!" now, this i love...it means a good day! it is book fair week and guess what he found? oh yes, 2 great books about cities and maps and the good old usa!!! he knew which 2 books he wanted, how much money he would need, and wants to get them tomorrow "just in case they sell about before wednesday!!! "

i love that little boy!!!

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 ...
