Wednesday: groceries

Today I got groceries. The exciting part of this trip was how many random things didn't hop into my cart. only the cheese sticks somehow invaded the cart, and one could argue that they should have been there in the first place.

let's list the invaders that didn't make it into the cart...because I'm really proud that I kept them out.

Oreos. Oreos tried really hard to get in.
Eggo waffles
Donuts.
different kinds of donuts
chips
Carmel rice cakes
candy
chocolate
Granola bars that are made out of peanuts

Tuesday: problems

My current problems are not big problems.

But they feel like big problems.

I'm working on trusting that God will take care of all my problems, and that he will understand that even though I know they're not big problems they still stress me out.

One of my life goals is to not worry about problems but instead trust God. Just as I think I'm getting it I fail.

I'll try again tomorrow. Or tonight.

Monday: rain

I woke up to a beautiful rainy day today. It was one of the better parts of the day. Except for going out to eat with Ben. That was nice too.

The rest of the day...left a lot to be desired.

Sunday: Sunday morning

This morning we went to the first of four classes to join the church we've been going to. At one point I thought that I had something profound to say about this, but can't remember anymore. Oh, the interesting statistic is that the church is about 40% kids. That seems like a ton of kids to me, but we've seen evidence that it is very possible (i.e., a huge VBS, kids running around all over the place, etc). And with a kid on the way, it's nice to know that the instruction of children is a top priority.

Thursday: squeak

Amanda: I'm going to bed. Good night.
Ben: Good night.
Amanda: Oh, I forgot to write a blog post. Guess it'll be a few more minutes.
Flurry: squeak! (What?!?)
Flurry: squeak! (It's time for water!)
Flurry: squeak! (You said you were going upstairs)
Ben: Flurry, chill out.
Flurry: mroww. (Fine, but I'd rather you go upstairs)

Wednesday: flaky

Our Internet is being super flaky. I'm not sure that this will post. I meant to send out some emails, but it was taking about ten minutes per email and it wasn't worth it.

Tuesday: embarrassing

So I've always been slightly prone to dizziness, especially when I'm standing still and not engaged in the conversation. Most of the time I can hide it.

but once in a while that just doesn't work, like today. I was with a team doing a big external audit. I realized once we were standing around that I also hadn't eaten breakfast...I had been expecting that some food was at the meeting but it was late. I hid it for a while by just crouching down. but then it was time to go and I wasn't going anywhere. I got the chair that was just vacated and within 30 seconds was mostly fine. Within a few minutes I was feeling well enough to walk again. But it was still embarrassing because it was with people I didn't know very well and they got worried.

At least I had a good excuse for once. I can blame a lot of things on being pregnant and people seem to understand. :)
