Where Does the Time Go????

Man, I cannot believe it is already the 14th. It seems like November just started! I never unpacked all my fall decor to fill the house and now Christmas is almost here...we have not even taken our family picture to send out yet....I just got my sister-in-laws today. How are you so on top of it Amie?

Anyway, just plowing through life exhausted. This has been our craziest quarter yet and we still have 7 more to go! Yikes!

Today I accepted a cleaning position--for my pastor and his wife! I will be making a little money for our family. It will be my one small contribution to our non-existant budget. I was thinking about it after I accepted the position, hmmmmm, do I spend 5 hours a week deep cleaning my house? NO was the answer, but then again, I am not getting paid!

Found out this evening that my sister in law Carey is sick....possibly a kidney infection, but she is pregnant, due early January....if they have to do a C-section now, the babe will be pretty pre-mature. Please pray health over their family....on top of all that, Jeff (my brother) has a fever and the chills. Pray for pain relief for Carey. SHe is a tough girl and if she is telling of the pain, it has to be PAINFUL. We are driving there for Thanksgiving...hopefully we can be a blessing to them, make them some turkey and care for their little ones to give them a little break.

Judah has been a bit jealous lately. Maybe not jealous, but needing more attention from me. Please pray that I respond gently to him and that I am sensitive to his needs right now. I am not the most sensitive person you have ever met, so I need a little God directed compassion. Iam having a lot of fun with him, and on the other hand he is a lot of work and I want to be the calm, loving mom that I know that I can be.

Our Sunday night service is going well. WE did our first interactive service. It went well, although I think that we can do even better next time. From what I heard, everyone enjoyed it...Jon and I had fun, but we need to be a bit more proactive in every area of life.

Our good friends Melisa and Scott got engaged last weekend. It was so much fun. They are to be married over Memorial Weekend. Good times ahead.

Let's see....anything else.....Jon and I are competley hooked on Prison Break. Love it.

Creed is head butting everyone and walking while holding on to this push train that we have. Little shnooky....he is only 8 months.

I am back down to 110 lbs. yeah. That feels good. Now I just need a new pair of jeans that don't look either too big or like something that should have been rid of long ago.....(90's are over Kate). At least I have young friends that can help me. Anyone have any suggestions on a pair of versatile shoes....ones that will look good with a T and jeans or somehting a bit more dressy/casual? I cannot decide. Too many options. I do not like 80's trend, but I don't want to look like the girl the young ones point at and say "She got stuck in her era." Things could be way worse. Luckily, my mom bought me some new clothes this summer, but now it is chilly to be wearing tanks.

ta ta for now.
