I Should be...

I should be in my car on my way to work right now, but I hated not to post anything today. It is tough during the week, working Tues - Thur I miss three great blogging days! I'll have to start schedule postings.
Anyway, here is a list of things I should be doing when I am usually blogging:
1.driving to work
2.cleaning my house
3.playing with my daughter
4.(I would say spending time with hubby, but he is usually sitting right behind me at his desk on his computer... so does that count as quality time together?)
5.baking fabulous treats to give to the neighbors
6.saving the world
7.reading actual books and not words on a screen
8.sewing... Ooops I don't know how to sew
9.learn to sew
10. did I already say clean my house?

What are the things you should be doing instead of blogging the day away?
I'm off to work now... Have a great day!

Fellowshippin'

We had a great weekend. We went to spend the weekend with my niece on her 1st birthday. She is a doll and we enjoyed it so. I did not expect to feel so refreshed but I did. We parked the car and just hung out all weekend. We floated in the pool and ate... a lot, but that was just fine because we were fellowshipin'. That is Christian for hangin' out with the people we love the most. We talked about the kids, family, church and most of all we just relaxed. I am grateful to Grammy and PawPaw for opening up their home to our crazy family. They are great. We are blessed.

Now we are back to the hustle and bustle of our lives. I'm sitting at my desk at church, I've been here since 7:30am and it is now 6:45pm. I have a rehearsal tonight and it did not make sense to rush home for dinner, just to rush back down to the church. But this is going to be one of those weeks. I have been working 15 hours a week for our Media Minister at church since Fall. I have been asked to increase those hours to 30. I am feeling the stress already. I'm not stressed about doing the work, but I am concerned for the well being of my family. I pray this all works out, and with childcare here at the church and with fantastic grandma's willing to help out, I am blessed indeed with good childcare. But nothing compares to the time I spend with my daughter. So my prayer now is that I can do what I need to at work in a purposful way, utilizing my time wisely and then being able to spend quality time with my daughter when I get home, making the most of my days off.

back to the grind

I can not remember being so happy about President's Day before. But this year we were all home all day. With my husband being in school and work being nuts, we have had little time together this month. BUT this weekend we had fun. We didn't do anything spectacular, we were just together. We didn't go to church Sunday morning, as my daughter has the monster cough and runny nose. So we had a long weekend to just rest, play and enjoy each other. It was great and much needed.

So now... back to the grind stone. I'll go to work later today. I start the cycle of dropping my daughter with my Mom so I can go downtown to work and my husband will get in front of the computer and be on conference calls all day. Back to real life.

Thank you God for a weekend of rest and renewal as a family.
