Reflections of the Week
I confess...blogging has been the last thing on my mind this past week. Work has, unfortunately, been the first thing on my mind, which does NOT make for a happy Lunatic but a very, very tired Lunatic. So rather than create bogus posts for the week, I thought I would highlight my week since my last post.
- Saturday, March 22 - We spent the evening with friends eating dinner and talking, and talking and talking! It was a great way to spend several hours and recharge from the stuff of the week. God is so good to give friends that, even though we don't see very often, we can pick up where we left off the last time we met and talk like we saw each other the day before. What's even better is that our kids - our four kids and their two girls - got along so well. Ah, the uniting ability of the Wii. ;o) So, D...when are we getting together again? It's our turn so let's do hamburgers on the grill! YUM! Send me a list of dates. April will be filled before we both know it.
- Easter Sunday, March 23 - As every Easter, it was a day filled with "events" at church. This year was no less eventful but much more special than in years past. This year, we connected with a couple that we haven't seen since a year ago when the husband and wife were having marital problems. It was so wonderful to see the whole family sitting in church. AND my daughter's best friend and her mom were in church, too. This is a huge answer to prayer. Knowing that I had plenty of food, I invited them over to eat with our family. It was absolutely wonderful, Sherry was completely comfortable with our entire family and it was apparent she enjoyed the fellowship as much as we did.
- Monday, March 24 - Work...it became painfully obvious that I was going to need more time than I had during the day to complete a project that I was working on for a meeting with my boss and the Colonel the next day. I probably should have stayed late at work but I I wanted to get home to have dinner with my family. I figured I would finish the project after dinner. Dinner consisted of FasTaco while Jim and I struggled with our oldest to help him with his History project that was also due the next day! I finally started working about 10:30 and only crawled into the bed at 3:50 a.m. because Cali woke up! Needless to say, when the alarm went off at 5:30 a.m. I was just a bit tired.
- Tuesday, March 25 - I started at 6:30 a.m. and worked feverishly on the project until 12:00. I stopped to eat and go over my results with my boss. I sent out a prayer request because I needed some strength because I was tired! Thankfully, my meeting went well but as all meetings go, I ended up with MORE taskers!
- Wednesday, March 26 - Spent the day recovering from the day before and working from home by participating in several teleconferences. I recognize meetings are a necessary evil but Wednesdays are incredibly UNPRODUCTIVE.
- Thursday, March 27 - I had a wonderful lunch with my dearest friend, Sheri. When my week couldn't seem to get any worse, I took the time to get out of the office and was so glad that I did. What a wonderful thing, friendship. When we are at our most vulnerable and weakest, God sends angels of mercy and love to get us through the rest of our week.
- Friday, March 28 - BASEBALL! Both boys had games, which despite the crazy cold were so incredibly fun! I love seeing my boys play. This is one of the special times in being a Mom. I can scream my fool head off and no one looks at me like I'm crazy because they are right there with me screaming for their son!
- Saturday, March 29 - More BASEBALL! Jaden had a game first thing Saturday morning. Then we all came home and Jim and I cleaned the office with Jordan's assistance. I'm ashamed to admit it, but we managed to shred enough old bills, junk mail, etc. to fill FIVE large kitchen size trash bags and throw away three more bags full of other junk.
- Sunday, March 30 - I'll leave today for the next post because it is SO AWESOME and I want to share how we met with God today.
