Facebook Status Updates for Kristin and Ansley

Well, I thought I'd start something new. I think I'll try to post my weekly status updates from facebook on my blog. This will serve two purposes: 1. I find it interesting to see my week in review through my status updates--all together at once--kind of creates an interesting picture of my week, and will be interesting to look back on over the years. 2. I have some dear friends (K-striss, Ansley, Monica (not really sure Monica reads my blog, though))who are not on facebook, and I'm sure they're dying to know all of these crucial (wink, wink) details of my week. So here are several from this week and last week. They go from most recent to least recent.

so I really should be wishing I had was Susannah Wesley's prayer apron to throw over my head in the midst of life's chaos and find time alone with Jesus. I must admit, though, that there's a part of me that would kind of like Harry Potter's invisible cloak thing even more today. I have to imagine that had Susannah ever read/seen Harry Potter, she might have thought that an invisible cloak was mildly appealing.

Benjamin keeps asking me, "Where baby Jesus in da manger? You put him in da attic? Why you put baby Jesus in da attic, Momma?" He's starting to give me a complex! Why did I put baby Jesus in the attic??? :)

Benjamin will stay home with me today. No Noah's Ark this morning as he is still slowly recovering from a nasty case of pink eye in both eyes! Bless his little heart! (or eyeballs)

Chuck!

just got a $6.99 haircut at Great Clips. I was in the seat less than 10 minutes. I'm thinking 6.99 means the customer sits in the chair less than 7 minutes. There was a poster on the wall that read "Relax, you're in the right place." They must've known I was feeling anxious. The poster could've helped me were it not for the generally surly nature of my "stylist".

home from church today with two kids with pink eye. I think they both have it in both eyes. Pretty pitiful looking pair. Seems like we have to miss every other Sunday lately with sickness. pooey.

Right at the end of bathtime tonight Bman announced he tee-teed in the tub, Olivia absentmindedly proceeds to gulp tubwater, Momma screams, "Don't drink the tubwater, Benjamin just said he tee-teed in here!!" Long quiet pause. Liv says softly, "Mom, you're still the greatest Mom in the world, even when you're mad at me." Momma's heart bleeds from these precious words.

Thursday, could you please be Friday?

Anybody else feel like this "short" week has somehow felt long? This is one of those days where I'm feeling the pressure of my lengthy to-do list (a list that seems to have several repeats day after day lately--anybody feelin' me on this one?), and while I know my spirit really needs some quiet time with Jesus, the fleshly part of me just wants to do, do, do in an attempt to please the box-checking person within. Lord, help me surrender to your gentlemanly, patient invitations.

Christmas Break 2009

So here are some pictures from our Christmas this year. Lots of fun! Just always hate to see it end. I did write information about each picture, but you may have to go to photobucket to see them. Not sure. Forgive me for not being more hip with this photobucket stuff. I'm not really getting it just yet.
