dinner on monday

okay, so i've been meaning to post this since monday night. but better late then never right?

princess was at grandma's still when we all sat down to dinner. i was busy serving up the food and could here mapboy talking about something. i confess i wasn't paying much attention until i heard this "and then someone put the fire out and the police put them in a car"

hmmm....what is he talking about? so i stop and ask him to tell me again. he started talking about the olympic torch in france and how someone ran up and threw water on it and then they put the guy in the bus and the police were all there. i was a little confused and hubby could tell. he said he'd fill me in later and prayed for dinner.

now, i've never been one to really enjoy the news or keep up on it too much, but when my 7 year old son knows more about current world events it is quite sad. i guess i need to pay more attention to him. he does know what he is talking about.

i will say when hubby filled me in i kind of stopped and thought about the state of our world....but i'll save that for another post.

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 ...
