A Little Craziness For Today

The way I see it, I had to have a little nuttiness to finish out the week. Right?! Well, today’s dance feels like a Mexican Hat Dance! Two things going on; First-when I returned from my trip, I quickly went to the squadron to retrieve a box from Clay’s truck that had the last Girl Scout cookie order in it AND all (I do mean ALL) the cookie order $ in it. HMMMM……….looking under the seat, nope. Looking behind the seat, nope. Looking under the seat one more time, NOTHING! There was no cookie $ anywhere. I had no choice but to drive to the leader’s house and write a personal check for all of the orders. ~Big Breath~ So, I’m hoping (really hoping!) that everything is in the hall of my church, where I passed out orders last Sunday. Otherwise, it’s gone. ~Another Big Breath~
Secondly-yesterday I sent all of my kiddos on a nice, long walk to get shaved ice. I needed the time to record this week’s show. No problem! They all went together and enjoyed a long walk on a beautiful day and then some shaved ice. I recorded and then went and picked them up. Too easy! I should have known that something would be wrong. The show sounds like I’m sitting in a tin can. Kinda fitting for the week I’ve had. So, today-another long walk for the kiddos so that you don’t have to listen to me sounding all tinny. Ick!
You know, this all just makes me laugh. Seriously! If I couldn’t look at times like these with a little humor I’d be in the looney bin! So, everyone sit back, take a big breath and chuckle with me. This is what life is all about right? Right! After-all, I did invite you all to come along on this crazy ride of being a Mommy of Many and military spouse.
Hold on tight!~

What are you doing tempting me with that cookie picture the day before Easter
hee hee- just kidding… ! Giving up sweets was part of my lenten devotions/ sacrifices this year. The boys joined me. When Tate woke up on the 2nd day of lent he asked me, “Is it Pascha yet?” haha. They are soooo excited to eat jelly beans & chocolate with their breakfast tomorrow morning! — I hope you find the cookie money tomorrow.

I’m on this ride, be it good or be it bad, so just continue what you are doing because it is quite satisfying. I have my fingers crossed that you do find those $s, hopefully in the hall of the church. Maybe in the bottom of your purse? Hopefully, this coming week will slow down somewhat. Hoppy Easter.

Oh Jen, I’m sorry to hear about the $. It seems it never ends. At least as you said you can have a sense of humor about it, which truly is the only way to get by. You allow the rest of us to see that all our very little things we make so big are only as big as we make them. I learn so much from you.
I hope the rest of the weekend goes great and that you all have a very Happy Easter!
In my thoughts and prayers always,
Peg

It was so good to have you here for your short visit to be with the family to remember Grandma. She loved you so much and was very proud of all that you’ve accomplished!
Happy Easter to you and Clay and all the kids.
(We’re praying that the cookie “dough” is in the church hall.)
With All Our Love,
Dad and Mom
CHRIST IS RISEN! INDEED HE IS RISEN!
HAPPY EASTER, GRANDMA!
