Ramblings and Rumblings

I just realized I've had maybe three serious, moody blogs in a row. We'll have to fix that...

- Anna Kate and I saw Fireproof last night at church for the third time. Amazing how I can learn something new each time I see that movie.

- My GT kids are doing dramatic monologues. This ought to be fun.

- No news yet on the apartment. But we should know something by the end of this week. Should.
- This week's a thriller. Choir rehearsal for "The Risen Christ" three nights in a row Monday thru Wednesday. Marriage counseling later this afternoon. Faculty meeting Wednesday. Writers Club Thursday. Woof. At least Spring Break's but a week in the distance.

Well, I guess I could've left out Writers Club if I wanted to. But I'd miss it. And the great thing is, I think the kids would miss it, too.

- My daily prayer is for God to work on my selfish heart. Anna Kate reminds me constantly that I'm not a terrible person, that I have a lot of good qualities. I believe her, I do. But that's why it frustrates me to no end that I continue to ignore what's good for me and go my own way without regard to others. And as frustrated as I feel, it's a wonder God hasn't thrown in the towel on me.

- I'm reading Cracker by Cynthia Kadohata. I'm already scared the dog is going to die at the end. (so please don't leave me a comment that spoils the ending. If you do, I will hunt you down. Well, not really. But I'll be sad.)

- I love it when my kids ask me questions.

- I love going to Pop's Pizzaria on Sunday nights. Unrivaled customer service.

- I love my pets.

Izzy acts dumb as dirt sometimes. Just the other day, she dashed out to greet me in the pouring rain. Got herself soaked to her puppy skin. But I love her to pieces. She's so sweet and innocent.

Rigby and Leo are two of the most ambitious kittens this side of the litter box. They can't stay on one side of the bed to save their lives and they engage in Kitty Wars (think "WWF" - kitty style) every other night. But I love them.
