Mother's Day Weekend and stuff

Sunday morning was like most Mother's Day mornings - hectic, but full of love and blessing seeing my kids' faces with excitement as they hand me their card (that sing's Mickey Mouse music of course) and my present.


David was sweet and woke up at the crack of dawn to make me a yummy breakfast quiche and yogurt parfait - with my cup of coffee too of course.


We zoomed around the house to get out the door to attend first service at church. We were scheduled to work the second service in Little Girl's classroom. We had 20 kiddos that morning and each of them were in rare, hyper, emotional, clingy and disobedient forms. Oh my word!!! It was craziness. David and I have really enjoyed teaching this class twice a month, but doing it on Mother's Day with all the chaos, may have just sent me over the "volunteer" edge. :-) Know what I mean?

I would like to say that my attitude only improved as my Mother's Day celebrations went on, but then I would be telling you fibs. I try not to do that. My hubby also made me and his mother a lunch full of steak, creamy potatoes, gorgonzola and bacon salad and strawberry shortcake.

He was so sweet.

Especially since I was in a funk all day.

I have no idea why. I have apologized since.

I was cra-a-a-a-nky. I had all things to be thankful for and all reasons to be happy and blessed, and yet, I felt sulky. Do any of you ever do that? Please tell me it's not just me. I already confessed to eating half a bag of Peppermint Oreos yesterday - you all know everything now. :-)

Also, I would like you to know that we walked over 3 miles tonight as a family in an attempt to make a small dent in the damage that was done yesterday evening. Aren't you proud?

The talk around our house right now is Kindergarten, Kindergarten, Kindergarten. We are in the middle of deciding where LG will go. We had a school picked and have since learned things that don't make us happy and we are doing more research and visiting some more schools - some public and some private. My heart is hanging out of my chest. I am so stressed and so overwhelmed. I want to protect this treasure....this innocence....this precious child that I have been entrusted with. She asked me today if we were "Christians", of which I told her yes. I asked if she knew what that word meant and then explained it to her. She told me some kids at her preschool talk like they don't know God. I agreed. Ha! Her heart is so pure. She also told me that she thought I was beautiful and I almost took her to Chuckee Cheese. Don't worry. I snapped out of it. But she did make me feel all mushy inside and so happy to be her mother.

I will keep you posted on LG's school saga, but please say a prayer for us this week if you think of it. We will be visiting schools, praying, taking notes and praying some more. God already knows where LG is supposed to be and we are trying hard to just trust that he'll show us in the right timing.

Nighty-Night.
