Time cast a spell on you...

Oh Geez - do you know what today is? Yup, Thursday. And you know what Thursday is? Yup, the day before Friday! I am getting more eager by the minute for Friday to come around so we can have some answers around here! :)
I may not even find out tomorrow, but it's one more day closer to when I will!

Job Update

I received an e-mail today letting me know that we are scheduled to find out if the project was awarded to my possible employers on Friday, April 11th, provided that the potential clients are on schedule.
Could you please remember to say a quick prayer on Friday for God's will to be done?
(Those in our MOPS group knows that works - ahem, Traci?!)
I'll keep you updated!

Keeping up with the Joneses

I have been terrible about updating my posts! I noticed that many of my favorites have been updating theirs, so I thought I should too!
Things have been a bit crazy around here these past few weeks.
Last week, I was approached about a work opportunity - TOTALLY out of the blue!!
An old friend contacted me and expressed an interest in wanting to hire me for her team.
Her company put a bid into some prospective clients, and if they are awarded the business, they would like to have me on that account.
I'm not entirely sure how I feel about this. It was fun going to the business meeting and having adult conversation about subjects that did not surround children in ANY way.
And, of course, the thought of a paycheck excited me, too!
I had to consider the children and who would care for them. I had to put serious thought of who would be "worthy" enough to care for them. Would I be working full-time or part-time? Could I work from home? Could I split my time between working at home and the office?
All of these questions will be left unanswered until we know if they are awareded the business, which should be in a couple of weeks.
I'll update when I know anything. I the meantime, please say a little prayer that this will be resolved in the way that Christ would have it.

And a thank you to http://cutestblogontheblock.blogspot.com/ and to Traci for my cute new background!

Can you cry under water?

If the professor on Gilligan's Island can make a radio out of acoconut, why can't he fix a hole in a boat?

Why do you have to 'put your two cents in'.... But it's only 'a penny for your thoughts'?

Once you're in heaven, do you get stuck wearing the clothes you were buried in for eternity?

Why does a round pizza come in a square box?

How is it that we put man on the moon before we figured out it would be a good idea to put wheels on luggage?

Why is it that people say they 'slept like a baby' when babies wake up like every two hours?

Why do people pay to go up tall buildings and then put money in binoculars to look at things on the ground?

Why do doctors leave the room while you change? They're going to see you naked anyway.

Why is 'bra' singular and 'panties' plural?

Why do toasters always have a setting that burns the toast to a horrible crisp, which no decent human being would eat?

If Jimmy cracks corn and no one cares, why is there a stupid song about him?

Can a hearse carrying a corpse drive in the carpool lane?

If Wile E. Coyote had enough money to buy all that ACME crap, why didn't he just buy dinner?

Do the Alphabet song and Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star have the same tune?

Why did you just try singing the two songs above?

How important does a person have to be before they are considered assassinated instead of just murdered?

Did you ever notice that when you blow in a dog's face, he gets mad at you, but when you take him for a car ride, he sticks his head out the window?

And with the birds of spring, come....

Ewwww.....I saw my first spider of the season today! Ugh, nasty!

What is that???

This morning while the kids and I were sitting at the table eating breakfast, I hear the most obnoxious beeping sound. Beep, beep, beep, beep...pause...beep, beep, beep. That rhythm went on for quite a few minutes. I was starting to drive me crazy!! What was making that noise?!?! It was very faint and I could not figure out where it was coming from.
So, I set off on my search for the annoying mysterious beep!
My search lead me to open the back patio door, where I heard the sound loud and clear.....
It was a bird, singing so sweetly in the tree. The "beep" I heard inside was actually a bird chirping outside and welcoming spring.
It turned out to be such a wonderful sound and I even opened up the window by our table so the kids were able to hear it.
Its been a long, long time since we have heard the chirpping of birds, and it pains me to think that it's been so long since I have heard them that I have forgotten what they sound like.
BRING ON SPRING!!

Friends Forever by: Zach Attack

I have been extremely blessed with an incredible friend. I find myself continuously thankful for her. She is loyal and true, funny and reliable.
Best of all, she knows all about me, and still wants to be my friend!
This friend is humble, and won't even think that this post is about her :)
I have lots of great friends in my life, but she is my "best" friend (Geez - I haven't used that term since 1984 Oooh....NKOTB!!)
I can tell her anything and know that, without a doubt, she will not judge me.
We can hang out and have great conversations, but best of all, we can hang out and have not so great conversations! We can talk about the difficulties in life and lean on each other for support. I know that I can honestly call her anytime, day or night and she knows that the same goes for her with me.

Are you blessed to have a friend like that? If so, why don't you tell them how much you appreciate them? Or say a little thankful prayer about them?

And, as you count your blessings, make sure you count them twice!
