lots to do today

So I am just popping on before popping off... I have some errands to do this morning and want to take the kids to the library or book store. Hopefully, Tyler will remain calm today. :) I also need to pay some bills and I have GOT to fold some laundry-- it's making me nuts. Exciting times-- LOL.

Tonight is the last night of *this* VBS-- yay! I LOVE what the kids learn at VBS and think it is REALLY important and the kids have had a blast, but I've been limited as to the timing on my trips into town and that has made the days a little tough this week... it's been hard on my "keeping the kids entertained during the daytime" plans. So, next week should be back to normal for the most part... I have an appointment, Tyler has his check up and we have the 4th of July, but at least we don't have any set thing in the evening, so that helps. We have our VBS at the end of July, so that is a good space out for them, too. :)

K... have gone on long enough now about nothing--LOL... gotta get going...

Later,
Lynn

music finds (comedy edition)

Got the grumps today, so I thought this would be good for laughs...

Have you seen Flight of the Conchords?

This is the "outtake" version of Weird Al's White n Nerdy-- Donny just makes me laugh in this! :)



And... my favorite Dana Carvey moment from SNL...



tomorrow is another day...

more than $400 later...

So far, and total between 3 visits, I am on the other side of the bulk of my root canal... whoo hoo! Today was the most extensive step and so far, I'm feeling much better about this step. Last time, I could feel swelling in my gums above the tooth before I even left the office, so it didn't really shock me when I had more trouble. This time, though, so far, so good. It seemed very thorough and I am happy he is taking his time making sure it's ready before we move to the next step. I am so happy to have that visit over and done. He'll be filling it at the end of July, and then I hope to be home free. :)

In other events this week, the kids are attending VBS at our old church (still my MIL's church) and they are really having a good time! I had to get them up really early this morning (because of my appt. at the dentist), so Tyler is a little... um, out of control. He is finally calming down some though. He'll be tired tonight I bet! The theme of this VBS is cowboys (translation from Tyler is something like "cy-boys"), so Tyler has decided he wants cowboy boots, a hat and a neckerchief. That kid kills me. Ty, the cy-boy. Oiy!

public service announcement

When the kids are having a popsicle and they have sugar in them and you want something sweet, but you don't eat sugar, and you're not going to the grocery store until the end of the week and there's nothing sweet that is sugar-free left in the house, but there is a box of sugar-free, fat-free vanilla icecream in the freezer, but you're not sure how long it's been there... don't chance it... take my word for it, just don't. YUCK!

just some silly pics

...to lighten the mood.

nervous energy... trying to rid myself of it

Do you ever get this for no specific reason? I hate it, but I've got it. Honestly, I think it is a combination of things... I have my 2nd appointment for the root canal on Wednesday (that's enough to make me a basket case); then in July, I have a staff meeting and will be moving stuff into my classroom as soon as they finish it (since it's in the new building, the classrooms are not done yet). I have an appt. with an immunologist/allergist, a new GP/holistic dr., and the follow up with the rheumatologist. I also made Tyler's check-up appt. for school this morning and that is right after the 4th of July. Then, Tyler has his 5th birthday at the end of the month. And, I'm sure there are a million other things...

The trick to all this is not getting caught up in the control of it. I think a little nervous energy is probably okay under the circumstances, but I need to remember that I am not in control of any of it. I have a tendency to try and figure things out, control them, etc., and I need to remember that it's all in God's hands, not mine. It's easier said than done sometimes, but I am really, really trying. One day at a time...



... it popped into my head and I just couldn't resist. :)

Time flies... Music finds

Um, yeah, sorry-- where have I been? It's Thursday! Summer is c-razy! Lots to do with the kiddos and catching up on some stuff I'm behind on. Where does the time go? Today I decided I need to breathe a little... starting to feel a little stressed, and that's no good. Going to a dinner tonight with Andrew as an Ichthus wrap-up thing. It will be a fun date I hope. :)

So... before I run off to the next thing... here are a few finds for the week:

WOW-- check out her voice! Abbi Walker

Like them, too: Fighting Instinct

And, very cool blues sound here: Jimmy Needham

See you tomorrow,
Lynn
