Just because… December 11, 2007

Well I suppose it’s obvious that I haven’t felt much like posting lately. For one thing I’ve been veeeeeeery very very ridiculously busy. Sigh. Busy and sick….it’s the never ending cycle. And for another thing….I dunno. I haven’t felt like typing out my life for the world to read. I don’t why…just a mood I suppose.

I finally decorated for Christmas a week ago. I decided to use Tim while he was here since Jon doesn’t like to help with the inside decorations, Josh is gone and I’m too short to put lights on the tree. *smile* Thanks Tim….this is becoming tradition. Tim did the lights and helped decorate last year too. I wasn’t at all in the mood for Christmas. I don’t think any of us were. Of course being the middle of December and it being 88 degrees doesn’t help any!!! None of our family will be here until after Christmas sometime so for Christmas day it will just be us. I told Mama that since no one was coming we could skip the whole thing and no one would ever know we didn’t celebrate Christmas this year!!! I just got laughed at. Humph. Buuuuuut anyway, now that the house looks Christmassy and we’ve heard all of our Christmas CD’s, I guess I’m in the mood. *smile*

I took off two days last week to stay in bed because I was sick. I thought I better not push it and wind up going through the whole pneumonia thing AGAIN. I was pretty miserable though. Slept the entire time. Then today I woke up a little before six and knew it wasn’t going to be a good day. I laid in my bed until a little after seven debating myself. To go to work or to not go to work, that is the question. Then I thought, hmm, what am I thinking anyway?? My head is killing me, I can’t breathe….I can’t deal with traffic, rain, car lights in my eyes and screaming children. So I called in sick. They’re going to fire me if I don’t cut this out. Sigh. So I slept all day today too. Alllllll day long. We’ll see if I can go to work in the morning. I think I’m better….maybe.

My birthday is next Monday. I’ll be 23. I’m old. I think I’d like to be a little kid again. Just for a day maybe. A Thursday. Thursday was our playday with the Humphrey’s growing up. I’d be running around like a crazy person, fighting with David, playing taxie, hide and seek, dress up, getting in trouble with Katie while Rachel begged us to be good, watching Nation Velvet and leaving Kristi (who was just a baby) outside in the front yard because we wanted to play something else and scaring our Mothers to death. *smile* Yeah, that’d be fun. A kid for a day….

Kristin, Tim, Jon, me, Rebekah and Deborah went and did a morning service at a church on Sunday. The quartet sang, Bekah played and Deborah turned pages and played the violin and Tim spoke. It was amazing!!!! I’m still smiling as I think about it. God is so faithful and so good. The people were wonderful and welcoming and everything went so smoothly and I think we came away more blessed and encouraged than the congregation. I’m excited about this new season the Lord has led us into and the things He has shown us and His direction revealed each step of the way. I’m blessed by the people in this group that have become more like another family and it thrills my heart to be able to share together, pray together and see the awesomeness of God together. *smile*

Well, I think I’ll post some pictures from the past week or so.

Us decorating for Christmas. Haley and I got the job of baking cupcakes one day at work….we had a blast!!! There are some from quartet practice the other night and then some of us playing and singing at work the other night when none of our kids showed up. *smile*

I’ve uploaded some new videos on photobucket. Wyatt is a little guy I babysit all the time now and when he laughs hard it just sounds like a scream. SO cute!!!!!!! Then there’s one of my Annie girl crawling when we were at the Humphrey’s house and the one of my screaming buddy is a little fellow from work. He’s an identical twin and they are a MESS!!!! One day he came in and was being so crazy so I picked him up and just screamed. He looked at me for a second and then he screamed at me. I screamed back and we went on and on. *smile* Now, Whenever he sees me, whether he’s getting dropped off or strolling down the hall in his stroller with his Mom, if he sees me he screams. So I scream back. It’s great. *smile* You can see the videos here: http://s196.photobucket.com/albums/aa17/LadyLizzy22/

Enjoy!!
