What a week . . .

I am SO GLAD it's Friday, but we are in for a really busy weekend, so I don't know if it will even be distinguishable from the rest of the week! I am getting so desperate for summer and many consecutive days of nothing . . . . so am hoping these next 3 months go fast and we make it through in one piece!

Highlights of the week:

• Had a business dinner with Mark's boss who was in town from Sioux Falls - totally interesting experience now that my brother and sister-in-law come to these dinners! (My sister-in-law works for Wells Fargo too and reports up through the same people). Anyway, it was a very nice evening.
• Struggling a bit with my leadership role in my community bible study - had to do something in that role this week that was terribly difficult and it put me in a foul mood for the next 3 days. Still sorting out my thoughts.
• Signed Noah up for spring soccer and signed Jack up for spring soccer AND baseball. Oh joy. Now we can look forward to spending April and May running to practices and games every night of the week. (Yes I need an attitude adjustment).
• I cleaned and did laundry and cooked and did laundry and cleaned and cooked and did I mention I did laundry?? I seriously feel like that's ALL I DO in the little bit of free time I have at home!!
• Wednesday, our 7 month old puppy, who from all outward appearances seems to be totally housetrained, peed all over our nearly new sectional couch in the family room. ??? Can't figure out why. Which is an issue for me because I always need to know WHY. In the midst of the ensuing chaos (and in my moment of anger) I mumbled that I was going to kill him (which, obviously, I was NOT), which scared my sweet Noah. He told me I couldn't do that, because that would be a sin. Still under the influence of my anger, I harshly informed him that killing animals was NOT in fact a sin and haven't you read the Old Testament, they did it all the time! At which point Noah says "the only time it's not a sin is if you are hunting." :)
• Wednesday night at AWANA, Jack recited John 14:1-6 perfectly. TOTALLY makes up for the rough spots this week and makes my heart happy to see Jesus working in his.
• Are beginning to remodel our playroom - the toys are going to get sorted this weekend and 80% of them are headed out the door. I figure if the kids are done with them, we don't need to be storing them!! And we're doing a few things to turn it into a gameroom. May post pictures Monday if it turns out.

Have a great weekend!!
