It’s Sunday night

The weekend went by fast–my sister and her family were here overnight Friday. My parents were up too. We did the big consignment sale that we always do Friday night and Saturday (sold old stuff and bought some used stuff–hoping I made more than I spent). We celebrated Erin’s 30th birthday on Saturday (she’s all grown up now with 3 kiddos to prove it). I was up past 1:30am last night cleaning and organizing (have you caught on that I enjoy order?). The day today went by fast too–at church early to serve on the worship team, home for lunch and a little bit of time to get some things done, off to Chinese class with Ashlyn, came home and proceeded to spend 3 hours making Ashlyn’s Halloween costume. I don’t know why I chose to do that project tonight. Distraction maybe. Maybe for a sense of accomplishment. Maybe to relieve the stress I was feeling over the stinkin’ costume that Ashlyn was so excited about (“How in the world am I going to make a peacock costume without any pattern at all????). Well, whatever motivated me, it worked. I was distracted (much to my husband’s chagrin), and I ended the project quite proud of myself that I made a rather pretty (and sparkly) dress that will make this peacock princess look pretty darn awesome (you’ll have to wait to see it…sorry).

I will be headed to bed early tonight and getting up early to leave the house by 6:15 with our little girlie for her to get her tubes put in. Someone at church today told me that when her son got tubes put in, just when she was reaching for kleenex for the first time in the waiting room, they came and got her to tell her it was done. I know that that will be the case for me too. I’m sure I’ll cry, but it will be over fast. And, then I’ll get to be with her as she wakes up.
