Everyone Needs A Sick Day

at 11/03/08 1:29PM

I have not been feeling well lately. I have a cold or something that is making me miserable. This morning I woke up to go to work, but then decided to stay home. After getting up at 6 AM, I went back to sleep until 10, when I got up and made some hot chocolate. After killing a couple of hours on the internet while in bed, I finally got up and made macaroni & cheese - my most comforting comfort food. :) And then I called my momma. So being sick isn't all bad - my toenails are now freshly painted, we actually have food in our refrigerator (I went grocery shopping), we have some clean clothes (I was feeling guilty about doing so much nothing), and chocolate chip cookies are in the oven as we speak. Not a bad day, huh? It's nice to slow down sometimes.

I feel like I've been taking the day off for quite a while now, especially with Michael being at home.

Sorry you're sick. You are way more productive than I am when I stay home!

Sounds like a great day! I miss days like that! Glad you had a good day being sick!!

by crazy_mama at 11/03/08 9:56PM
Thanks for specifically mentioning Smart Bargains... that's where I'd been looking at them! Very helpful. :)
I hope you're feeling better but I would totally love a day like that. ;)

Who Built the Arky Arky?

at 10/04/08 7:57PM

So, I've been teaching the 3-year-old class again, and I've been having lots of fun. I just built an ark and made some animal masks. :) Can you imagine how freaked out Noah must have been when all those animals starting showing up? I think if I had been Noah's wife and had any doubts about his sanity, seeing all those animals line up outside my house would have cleared it all up for me. It seems like that would have opened up some of Noah's neighbors' eyes, too. But I guess when people are so wicked that they need to be flooded out, then their hearts are too callous to see and believe in the power of God. Anyway, I'm looking forward to seeing some cute animal faces in my class this week. :)

Five years. Wow. Congratulations! May it be a lifetime together, through ups and downs and remember the ups when you are in the downs. Dear daughter, don't forget, husband is always #1 despite job -- and even a Bible class :-) I like reading of your efforts to teach the little ones. I never could cope very well with more than three that age around me. Whew! what would I have done with triplets!

Thanks Becca! How's Atlanta?

by cellocellocello at 10/14/08 9:50AM
It is definitely an interesting story!

by mjintexas at 10/14/08 2:11PM
That's great! It is a good one. Are you taking some to work, or putting it in the freezer?

by textilet at 10/16/08 8:22PM
I'm glad you enjoyed it!!

by textilet at 10/20/08 6:27AM
Amen to that!

by mjintexas at 10/20/08 2:42PM

Congrats on the five years girl! Wow, how the time flies! I don't know if I ever said this, but it was great to see you (and Rachel)!! I think we might end up staying around here for another year, so maybe we can do it again sometime.

So, to celebrate Chris passing his exam, we went to a nice steak place for dinner Friday night. Not very creative, but cows sure are delicious. :)

Happy 4th of July everyone!

Happy 4th of July to you too! =)

by coolbeans at 06/30/08 6:32PM

by thehandoftheking at 07/01/08 4:57AM
yay cow!

by motormouthmichal at 07/01/08 5:54AM
yeehaw! I could eat a steak every day.

by karalei at 07/01/08 6:46AM
Oh please...we dig out of the dryer on a regular basis!!

by waxtadpole at 07/01/08 8:56PM
Cows DO taste good. Our friend's milk cow just gave birth to a calf which they plan to beef up and eat.
haha

by paradise_ray at 07/07/08 6:19AM
I like cows too. ;)

by mjintexas at 07/07/08 10:42AM
Hey, I'm working for Roper Industries in their internal audit department. They own companies all over the world, so I travel to the locations and see what's up. This is much better than public. How's life at the new firm?

How Should We Celebrate ?

at 06/24/08 5:14PM

Chris found out yesterday that he passed his P.E. Exam - on the first try! We are so excited! He was afraid he had failed it since this was his boss' and another co-worker's second time taking it - and they both failed it. So what should we do to celebrate? My ideas right now are to go out to eat, or to throw him a surprise party (which might be hard since he mentioned taking this Friday off from work). I'm open to ideas!

** Clarification: P.E. means Professional Engineer :) Sorry about that! **

Whitewater rafting? It's loads of fun it there is water!

by textilet at 06/24/08 6:13PM
What is a P.E. exam? (That's probably a stupid question!)

by lynny at 06/24/08 6:22PM
How exciting! Congrats to you guys!!!

by crazy_mama at 06/24/08 6:25PM
Wow! Should we call him Coach Chris now? ;) Sorry, I'm not creative in the celebration department. I always do the old standbys...

by laurenelise at 06/24/08 8:50PM
Oh, go-karts for sure. I know a good place. Congratulations to Chris!

by thehandoftheking at 06/25/08 12:11AM
haha, i was thinking the same thing. that is really cool how he smoked his boss and co-worker, haha. and the whitewater rafting is a great idea, we still have room, haha.

by lizard85boy at 06/25/08 10:33PM
oh, and did you hear rachel got a mac?

by lizard85boy at 06/25/08 10:33PM
So, what did you do?

by textilet at 06/30/08 5:32AM
Hooray!! Congrats!!
