what i did today

I’m free – at least for a little bit

November 2, 2007 by Amy Leave a Comment

So today my Mom took off with the girls for their weekly Friday ritual around 11.  I had to go back into the office this afternoon for the meeting that was canceled 20 minutes before the meeting on Tuesday when I went in.  And what a bummer today was too because the meeting only lasted 20 minutes.  And that was a stretch.  Oh well.  It’s nice to get dressed up and get out of the house every once in awhile.

So when I got home this evening the kids were back but I think I spoke to soon about everyone being healthy around here.  Lexi’s had a slight fever since yesterday and as soon as I got home, she fell asleep while I rocked her in the recliner.  Scott went to work within 20 minutes of me being home.

Emma and I made pancakes and eggs for dinner since I forgot to put my roast in the crockpot this morning.  And she was so sweet.  She walks into the kitchen after we were done eating and says, "I love spending time with you."  Aw, melt my heart.

Well, my nephew called and was having a campfire and roasting hot dogs and wanted us to come over.  Since Lexi was still asleep and not feeling well, came and got Emma and will be bringing her back later. 

Scott cleaned the bathrooms today (we won’t discuss how I managed to get him to do that, but it’s probably not hard to guess…sorry, Heather), did the dishes and even folded laundry while I was at work.  So my house is on the way to being clean.  So here I am in a quiet, dark, somewhat clean house blogging.  Ah, the life.

The girls will be staying at home tonight instead of going to MILs like normal.  Our choir is hosting a yard sale and church tomorrow and MIL has to be there at 6.  She’s going to come get the kids around 10 and take the kids so then I can go help with the yard sale. 

Tomorrow is also Lexi’s 3rd birthday and since we have the party planned for next weekend and Scott is working again tomorrow night, I’m not sure if we’re really doing anything tomorrow.  So, no plans for the weekend really unlike the past few and I think I’m just fine with that.

Halloween Plans

October 31, 2007 by Amy Leave a Comment

I’m getting off easy for Halloween tonight.  Tonight is MIL’s normal night to get them so they will be handing out candy with her.  We are helping host movie night for the youth group.  So yay. I get to get back and relax for the evening.

No Amy Tomorrow

October 30, 2007 by Amy Leave a Comment

I’m headed to work in the morning.  Yes, I know, same ‘ol, same ‘ol for a lot of you.  And I work every day too but normally it’s in the comfort of my sunroom at home and tomorrow I’ll be headed up to the "big city" to the office to work.  And just last week my domain got put on the big no-no firewall list and I can’t view any of my site from the network.  So until about 5pm tomorrow, I will not have access to my site.  This will be a record I think  and I’m really not looking forward to it.  AT.  ALL.  Especially since I’m enjoying SO MANY of you commenting to enter my giveaway and I’m just lovin’ seeing it all come in and visiting your sites.  So, it’s almost 1AM and I am going to be TIRED tomorrow at work.  So Adios for now.

The real snapshots

October 29, 2007 by Amy Leave a Comment

Scott broke out our Polaroid camera for I’m not sure what reason.  But one of the best pictures that has been taken of the two girls is here.  Perfectly smiling right at the camera…

Here are the rest of the pictures they took…some by Emma, some by Lexi and some by Scott.  Just a normal day here…Mommy at the computer working, kids running around and Scott playing with the dog.

Long, busy weekend with family

October 28, 2007 by Amy Leave a Comment

Wow, that weekend was really busy.  I’m tired.  My house is not clean.  The kids are wiped out.  But we had a great time spending time with my visiting family.  There ended up being no eating out and no shopping.  Just a lot of eating in, chatting and watching tv.  We did make it to two fall festivals on Saturday but dragging 12 people around as a group just isn’t as fun as you imagine it might be. 

We spent every free moment we had at Mom’s so I spent a few minutes this evening trying to clean what I could, catch up on my reader list and prepare myself that tomorrow morning it’s back to work.  I feel like I need a weekend from my weekend.

TGIF

October 26, 2007 by Amy Leave a Comment

Really, I’m so glad it’s Friday and we have a busy weekend ahead of us.  Scott gets home from training early this afternoon.  My aunt, uncle, two cousins and grandmother are coming into town tonight.  We have our meeting with the youth council tonight (please pray, I’m so nervous about it).  Tomorrow we are spending all day with my family.  I think we’re going to some festival in the morning assuming it’s not pouring down rain and we also have our church’s Fall Festival tomorrow night.  I suspect we’ll be shopping and eating out and actually I can’t wait.

Not a great day

October 24, 2007 by Amy Leave a Comment

This afternoon particularly was rough for me.  There’s been another meeting scheduled with our youth council for this Friday and I started completely stressing about it.  By the time Scott got home right before 5, he found me in a pool of tears on our bed.  Not a great welcoming back home.  But I say that to say this.  God answers prayers.  I’ve been so hopeless with our situation and all of the leaders being able to get along and I just have been begging God to show us the right thing to do.  I don’t know if I have my permanent answer but for today, right now, a weight was lifted off.  I don’t feel the anger, stress and worry that I felt this afternoon and it is many thanks to our pastor that showed this video during his guest-speaking sermon tonight in youth group.  But more than that, many thanks to God for giving me what I needed when I needed it.  I have no idea what Friday will bring but at least I’m going into it with the proper attitude.

If you know anything about Contemporary Christian music in the past 15 years or so, I’m sure you’ve heard of dc Talk or Toby Mac.  This video features dc Talk members Michael and Toby talking about their friendship.  It spoke volumes to me about our youth council and that there’s hope.

The video is kinda long at 10 minutes so if you don’t want to watch it, the best part is the last minute or two of Toby talking.

P.S. Kevin and Toby are still HOT!
