Hectic Life.......wait!...where am I??

Sorry so long since a post. It has been absolutely a crazy week/weekend! (I think that's an understatement!). If you don't like long blogs..be advised..this will be long, considering...i have a lot that went on.

Last Wed. I recieved my purchase requests..signed. Well, let me back up. Our church has a nursing Mother's room-which was in great need of a "Mommy makeover". It was dark, dingy and just plain unacceptable for new babies and mommies to endure for too long. So, I decided I was going to take a leap and submit my ideas to the Pastors.

Oh...I have a great vision (God-given) for this room...just picture it....Pale yellow walls, large whimsical tree with birds and butterflies....grass coming from the floor and lovely butterflies hanging from the ceiling. Scripture Psalm 139:13-15 written whimsically on the wall! TV on the wall so they can enjoy the service with their new bundles of joy. Gliders chairs in cherry and cream. Changing table with hanging organizational shelf that contains all the necessities to change a baby's diaper. I just imagine mommies with babies going in there and being so comfortable. Anywoo....it got APPROVED!! I was/am so excited!

However, the planning and other lovely paperwork is quite exhausting! We have to fill out all the info to purchase the items and it made for, well..a crazy week on top of all the other motherly duties.

So this is how my Wednesday and weekend started...

>Wed. am -Finished my article for Freshwindmag! If you haven't checked her out..my friend Carmen is a wonderful writer and she has a magazine that will be up soon-it will bless you-check her blog out at http://www.freshwind08.blogspot.com/). I went to church/school...helped the k3 teacher with their setup for naptime, which included pulling down tables and chairs and putting up cots

> Wed afternoon-attempted to get all paperwork straight and order gliders, the shelf, and other items.

As I was sitting ordering items with hubby and a few co-workers just standing chatting, we recieved a speakerphone call from the principal of the school.....

"Mr and Mrs ______, I have T in my office. He tripped a child and I feel his punishement should be silent lunch and dentention" and we respond "We agree, we will pick him up at 5pm, Thank you"

Ugh!!!! If the day could not go any crazy??? Of course! Why even ask?

>After the paperwork, I went to HD and picked up the paint colors for the wall ....oh....in the pouring rain...oops, I failed to mention the fact that it rained ALL day! Yuck!!

Wednesday night...I stayed home! I think the Lord understands my need to recover from the events considering He is always with me!

>Thursday came...um...what did I do Thursday?? (sudden loss of memory...commercial break....oh yea...I remember) I went back to school and helped with some paperwork they needed labeled (plus I have to get volunteer hours in-12 of them). Hubby and I got into an argument....whatever! The stresses of life got to both of us, I think. Then I had to work that night-it was quiet and productive I got some new stock in that i put up.

>Friday came and Hubby got blessed with a side job helping load some stuff- that paid well, which was really needed. Then we had a workers meeting at church that went ok. Except before we left He and I got into it again. I shall not divulge any information on that (innocent victims to protect-love u honey). It was rough...then he brought home a hot fudge sundae. (nothing like chocolate to ease a girls tears!)

>Saturday came and that ended up being quiet. Hubby had another meeting. I did some cleaning.

>Sunday...here comes the drama. Caitlyn woke up and her eyes were swollen and she broke out from head to toe! It was awful. She's had it happen before and the last time they had to give her a Depodryl shot-kinda scary! But, I went to church after giving her Benadryl (per docs instructions)-I didn't stay long-she got cranky and her diaper area was really raw-oh...my poor baby! I went home asap and called the doc and he said just see if anything changes in her breathing-if it does, bring her in. Nothing changed (Praise the Lord), she still has a rash all over her face, so I made an appointment.

Right now I am just enjoying some peace and my fuzzy socks-a girls favorite indulgence! (If you don't have a pair, my dear...go invest in several! Thanks Susan for those!)

My agenda today: run a few errands and take baby Caitlyn to the doc at 12:00! Please pray they can give her something to ease the itching and discomfort! She seems her happy self, just uncomfortable.

That's the jist of my life...in Drama City!
