A Good Day...

I had a good day today.  I do better when I don't expect to accomplish certain things and then they happen! Sammy has been throwing up.  He was home for the day still vomiting.  He is supposed to go to a Youth Retreat this weekend.  I am praying that by tonight he will feel better.  These things are so great for them.  Did you go to any?  I didn't  really have the opportunity as a teen to often.  Yet I remember the feeling of being full of loving God after a Week of Prayer or youth event.  I  loved Jesus with all my heart.  It was so easy.  I want my boys to feel that energy that comes from worshiping with friends.

Loving Jesus now... I do, with all my heart.  It is just that now there are times of doubt, frustration and temper tantrums. Maybe I just want my way... or His way is too hard.  Maybe I need to work back to getting that faith of a child.  It was so easy.  Do you know what I mean?


I felt better today.  Maybe because I was anticipating the blues that anything aside from that felt better.  I dropped the boys off and came home and wrote.  I feel so good when I write.
I called Sanj and told him I wrote.  He read while I was on the phone.  He laughed.  How I love his laugh.  When he laughs, while reading a blog, it feels like I won the Pulitzer Prize.
His thoughts mean the most to me.  I love that he can laugh at himself.  I love his pride in me.


Why does it matter?  You know how they say behind every great man is a greater woman?
Well, when I am able to accomplish something I feel awesome about, it is because I have this amazing man that supports my ambitions whole heartedly.  He is the financial backer of my projects and dreams as well as emotionally.  He believes in me.  This said, I can believe in me too.  ( I realize that sounds bad.. I believe in me still even if he didn't.  As one of my boys said, I think a lot of myself... lol).


I, then, headed to the office in time to putter and then be taken out to lunch by my sweetie. The office is busy with lots of activity.  Recently, Sanj hired more staff and there is also a student following him around.  I love the vibes that are there.


I was planning to work but then had to go in search of the gift.  Oh, the pressure!  It isn't the easiest thing to do.  I always search for a gift that brings an AWWWW factor.  I'll share what I found tomorrow.  It is just a cool thing.


Then I was sitting in the car, filling out the many forms that were overdue!  Forms for the retreat, forms for high school for Tyler, forms for a serve trip the older two boys will be going on this summer, forms for ski day.  Sigh.  I filled half.  Then it was off to the grocery store.


Zachary's grade 2 class was having a store today.  They were selling all sorts of things and goodies.  So I had to make my appearance and shop. 


This weekend is the Polar Plunge!  What is that you ask?  It is where crazy,wonderful individuals will take a plunge into the ice lake... all for charity.  Brrrr....  Our fabulous principal and two other crazy parents will be jumping into the lake on Sunday.  We went around to the parents sitting warmly in their vehicle asking them to empty their loose change and more.  It was amazing the number of $20s that were dropped in!  (Thanks all that donated!!!)   *** It isn't too late... drop off your donation to Rhema!!!


By the time I was done walking around, I was frozen!  I am really looking forward to it though!  How fun it will be!  Thanks Mr. Slofstra for being a great sport!


It was home, supper and all the evening stuff.  Tonight is a Grey's Night...  and hopefully not a rerun.


All in a day!  I have my fingers and toes crossed that no more kids start puking!  I guess we have been lucky so far.  They have been healthy for the most part.  So we will see...
