Somebody Smack Me !!!
We had our ladies Bible study today...the last one I am teaching for awhile. (Thank you Linda...love you!). I started out with no babysitters and ended up with two. (Thank you God!) I was pretty stressed though because I needed to get Emily home and back to our house for jack & vivi by 11:45 and the Bible study kept going and going...I could feel Satan creeping in during prayer time at the end and I kept trying to smack him down...it ended up being a beautiful ending. I got very choked up at the end and had to keep apologizing for my lack of decorum. What a great group of ladies...have I mentioned that? LOL After praying I must've been looking kind of stressed when Kim (I love you Kim!! LOVE YOU! LOVE YOU! LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!!) asked if she could help me in any way...and i was like "Yeah! Wanna take someone home for me???" and she was all over it. Just the kind of person she is. She even got slightly lost (being originally from Tennessee ...bless her heart! hehe). So Rebecca, all of our 8 kids, and I were supposed to head out to the park and things rapidly changed to where she had a doctors appt, her hubby was helping some friends, and they needed an afternoon sitter...so I had 7 of the 8 kids here for the afternoon. It definately wasn't my first choice...a nap was my FIRST choice...lol...but I am happy to help and so I did. Everyone and everything went fine and the three youngest even napped a couple of hours. OH! I did semi- good at the Bible study on my diet. hehe...only cheated the tiniest of bits. I really need to be successful...not only will it help me lose weight, but I am having horrible heart palpitations and when I did this diet last year (see last year...lol) ...well, my symptoms went away. Just from no sugar or white flour. I had done medical testing...ekg, ecg, heart monitors, with no diagnosis. My heart is a mess right now...and last night even slightly scared me. Any activity flares massive palpitations. Sometimes sitting still does as well. Today seemed a little better although right now it feels a little out of whack. Sigh. I don't want to go back to the doctor. I know stress seems to effect it as well. Tonight I got the "Worst Mother of the Year" award because I didn't let my son go fishing with some friends...we've had kids here ALL day...we're all going to Raging Rivers (an awesome water park) tomorrow and Sunday after church we are headed to Craig & Shari's for an afternoon of boating and jet skiing. I just needed some quiet around here. Plus Mike came home with a migraine and is in bed. I just found out Sunday night our church has rented a pool and we were supposed to sign up to go. I didn't. With a water park and all day skiing I think it should be enough. But if the kids find out....sigh....they will just have to understand. Monday our school begins for the year...I'm a little worried about that too. I may have a heart attack...grin. So that's us. A huge weekend ahead of us. Myself in a bathing suit in front of God and everyone. Exciting stuff planned that I will love once I'm there. I am so lucky to have great family and friendships. Somebody seriously needs to smack me for not counting my blessings more often than I do...smile.
