the end of month 1

so we are almost to the end of the month. for my little house that means daddy has been home for a long time now!

so i confess that the first week was really quite rough. i sure didn't like him sitting at my computer, in my space, playing his music, while i tried to keep the kiddos quiet. i hated that while we used to have lunch together we now ate in shifts. while he ate i attempted to get my work done. boy, i was quite the grouch!

since then i think we have found our groove. i think he still likes being here and i like him being here now too. it just took some time. now, if he has another one of those weeks where he is on the computer 40 hours a week - we are getting a laptop!!!!

Hey Chris...just starting to read your blog some more! Read a bit once we became friends on FB, but I'll have to be more faithful.
Laughing about the hard adjustment of having hubby home, in "your" space. We have this adjustment once a year when summer comes and it's not easy. This year, it didn't hit us for about a month either. You'd think after 6 years of being home together in the summer, we'd see it coming. We're usually blindsided! But it all works out and we love having each other by the end of the 3 months!

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 ...
