Crybabies’R'Us

Emily has been having a seriously rough crybaby day. I now know why they call them crybabies. I’m not sure what the problem is, but she’s been extremely emotional all day. She cried for the last half of church and everyone all the way from the front could hear her in the nursery at the back. She had a little nap and then was at it again. AHH. Ok I’m actually ok with it today. I think if I was headed to Kamloops as planned I might not have been as calm and cool about it. I really hasn’t been getting to me like it does sometimes. I’m just trying to be there for her. Who knows maybe she’s teething again and just not showing the same signs as the last time.

I’m trying to get my house all cleaned up before I go. I’d rather come home to a clean house than a messy one. So I’ve even resorted to setting the timer to help me remember to change the laundry over. I’m hoping that at least the main floor and the bathrooms will be cleaned up before I go. We’ll see. I’ll clean most things, but I’ve decided not to clean up Morgan’s salsa dish that he left downstairs and let grow stuff. It’s nasty. I don’t do nasty. So far thats the biggest problem with having moved the T.V. downstairs. I’m enjoying watching less T.V. and not having the T.V. clutter in my living room, but I’m really hating the dishes and pop cans and other crap that keeps getting left down there. I’m more ok with clutter than dirty stuff, and since I’m trying to de-clutter the dirty stuff frustrates me even more.

A bunch of my Youth left today for a week long hardcore discipleship school during spring break. I’m pretty excited for them. They are going to be challenged and learn so much. I’m hoping to see some great things come out of this experience. I think they are really going to love it.

My lungs have been alot better in the last few days. I think I finally kicked my cold. HA! It took a long time, but I’m glad its over. I like feeling like me and not like some lethargic snow beast who whines alot.

Oh dear - that’s the cutest picture ever. Do you have the original? Can you send it to me? Terry and I have had standoffs with moldy food dishes for months and months. They end up on the back deck and it’s quite easy to ignore them. After awhile the contents completely biodegrade and you can just hose them out and it doesn’t smell that bad. The leaves that fall in seem to acelerate the process.

I have a copy of that. Like our matching haircuts?

Brent and I have some standoffs like that too, he’s got a thermos that’s been sitting by the sink for over a month now, it was in his van for like 3 months before that. I’m not touching that thing!

I’m finding I’m getting more and more calm about Si’s grumpy days, we just cuddle more which i like.
