Whew. Hello, Sunday night.
Daniel and I are relaxing in the living room and watching the Olympic coverage. Here are a few things that I’d love to write lengthily about but my contacts seem to be glued to my eyes and let’s be honest, I really need to watch Michael Phelps more than I need to blog.
But here’s my list:
1. This morning’s service at Southside was absolutely amazing. One of the best services I’ve ever been in. Charlie talked about Jacob wrestling with God and it was so powerful I saw tears pouring not only down my face but others. As we all shared Communion, we sang Amazing Grace…my chains are gone…and I thought I could barely breathe. It seemed like everyone around me was itching to rush to their feet, throw their hands in the air…and all I could imagine was what Heaven will be like when believers from all over the world are praising the One who broke our chains.
2. I’ve changed a few things about Fairly Ordinary. For one, there are a few ads now. 🙂 No hard feelings, right? I also added a movie ratings archive and a library.
3. My son apparently has Hand, Foot and Mouth disease. I know. Oh my freaking word. He suddenly shouted out at us this evening (he’d been reading a book in his bed), and we went to check on him and he immediately showed us one of his index fingers which had a huge blister on it. There wasn’t a way he could have pinched it and we were really confused and concerned as to how one earth he could have had such a awful blister form in so little time (I’d just been with him minutes earlier) and so I called the Children’s Clinic who basically told me that he has all the symptoms of HFMD. Isn’t that crazy? 🙁 I’m keeping everything sparkly clean, giving him lots of food and fluids, and he won’t be visiting nurseries anytime soon. :- Also, he DOES NOT have Foot and Mouth disease. 😉 He isn’t a calf or a piglet.
4. Besides getting random viruses from other kids, Drew has also been learning new things. He has learned to CLIMB. After turning my back for a second, and Daniel looking at something else for just a second, we suddenly realized Drew was missing. I found him IN THE TUB. Fully clothed. With his juice. Grinning.
He’s also learned to climb on the couch. NOT GOOD.
5. I read ALL of The Twilight Saga this weekend. ALL FOUR BOOKS. In one weekend. I’m certainly going to write about these books in the coming weeks (it may be after we move) but wow – is it just me or is this Tuck Everlasting meets Anne Rice? No, they aren’t as rich as the Harry Potter stories but they are certainly fascinating and lovely as pie.
