Random April posting

I wrote a lot of this last Saturday, and just now found time to post it. Today is Tark’s birthday! Yea!! I would post more, but I do not have the time to do someone as -sweet, awesome, nice, great, strong, wicked cool, dorky, loving, and great man of God type-as Tark is justice.

So in-between the busyness I have found some time to write a little. This will be complete randomness, so you have been warned. I am also very tired as I got in last night at 2:00 am after taking youth to a concert.

First off, I am so freaking hungry. I have been on this diet thing for about 7 weeks now and I want nothing more than to devour a loaded pizza or a huge burger. Yet, I know if I did either of those things I would feel horrible afterwards, so this stinks. I mean I eat, and the things I eat taste good, it is just hard. I am thinking it might be time to splurge just a little before someone gets hurt.

I do like the results of the 7 weeks though. I have lost a little over 30 pounds. Of course I was so fat to begin with, I can’t really tell that much, though I am running out of pants that will actually stay on me so I guess that is a good sign.

Work is good, but busy and stressful. This week is Holy week and it is kind of a big deal. The youth do the Good Friday service and we are changing the venue to the stage in our family life center. It has always been in the sanctuary, so now I fear it has to be amazing or people will be mad about the change, because people hate change.

Did I mention that I am starving and it is very hard to be stressed and not be able to pig out a little?

Tark is now running a Christian coffee house. Which is good for him, because it’s something he really wants to do and feels like he is suppose to do, but it does decrease our total salary a little, plus now we have to pay more for insurance. That is a little stressful, but if it is something he thinks he is supposed to do I really have to support him. He has always supported me.

Did I mention that I am starving and the stress makes it harder?

The kids are good; MG is getting to the point where school is getting a little too easy. I think it is time to challenge him more, which is exciting. Westers is getting a handle on the potty thing which is super exciting. Westers is also becoming obsessed with Star Wars. I have no idea why, except that Star Wars is awesome and so is he so I guess it was just meant to be.

Seriously though, I really need a huge cheeseburger.

Weekend in review

-I woke up early Saturday and went to church to get ready for the chili lunch during the bazaar. I got there and made a ton of chili and corn muffins. While doing this the people at the bazaar decide they needed coffee for the workers and patrons. I did it because they kept asking for it. I am not sure who they were asking to do it, but I did it so they would stop asking about it. So I made a ton of coffee because hey, I was only doing a million things already, it was not big deal. Then I grew a third arm. No, not really.

During this time I watched the youth show up and then watched the youth get distracted by a hula hoop demonstration. Then I watched the youth hula hoop. I then watched the pastor become fascinated with the hula hoops. He then proceeded to hula hoop.

I watched as we auctioned off youth for various duties including auction one youth to go slaughter hogs for someone. We then sold a ton of chili. I watched as we ran out of chili, and then I ran to the grocery store and cleaned them out of chili. I came back and quickly heated up the chili and watched as it sold out.

I bought a few small wreaths and watched the husband win two things in the silent auction including a 8ft solid cherry wood table with 6 chairs for 75 bucks. Not to bad.

We cleaned up and then went home for a while. We dug out the Christmas decorations from our storage building and looked at what decorations we have. We then went to an awesome dollar store and bought some cool Christmas stuff.

We came home and ate, and basically did nothing.

Today we went to church and saw 3 baptisms in one service, pretty cool. The church also received this cool keyboard thingy that looks like a baby grand piano. It is sweet. We then went home, ate, and relaxed. We then went to have youth praise band practice and youth praise band. We then did youth. I did a talk and got to use a video featuring my favorite hymn. I don’t know how the kids liked it, but I enjoyed doing it.

Now we are back home and I am ready to relax.
