Happy Thanksgiving!
What a wonderful weekend it has been. Wednesday was a lazy day. We did...pretty much nothing. I hung out with my baby and that's about it. Some days, I just want to hang out with my kid. Yesterday I got up with her at 6:30...then she decided to stay in bed so I showered then slept on the couch until 8:30. We were in the car at 9:30 and on the way to Indiana by 10am. We had an AWESOME time in Indiana and Grace did awesome. She was a good listener all day. Then we came home, hung out with the hubby, had chocolate pie for dinner. So good. I love my family.
This was Grace's first art project. It is now hanging on my fridge. :) Delightful.
Alrighty, my brain hurts and I have a lot more to say but I'd like to sleep so I'm going to keep moving instead of typing.

The little things
Good news, I found my password! :D
I think I'm coming up with a new plan for my life. I'm sick of the big picture and while I think it's important to have a plan I was reminded yesterday that it is important to be faithful in the little things. Yes, I need to know what I want to do with my life - but is that any more important than the tone of my voice, how I handle frustration or how I spend my minute? I don't think so. I think God really wants me to be faithful in RIGHT NOW. And once I master this minute maybe I'll get another :)
The past two weeks have been nuts. Anytime we have a special event with work it throws off my schedule. It shouldn't, but it is a lot of extra prep and follow up. My schedule normally looks like this...
Monday: Prep for bingo, bingo, sleep.
Tuesday: Bingo paperwork, staff meeting, a few emails
Wednesday: Panic, emails, get bingo tickets, emails, date
Thursday: emails, start on to-do list from meeting, count bingo tickets at night
Friday: Hope and pray I finish my emails and to do list before the evening.
Saturday: Finish everything I didn't manage to get done
Sunday: Church, keep my office door closed.
I think one day I'll figure out this craziness. But again, I was reminded Wednesday that I can either worry about getting it all done, or I can just be faithful in right now, do what I can right now and move on. Hopefully that will always be enough.
