I LOVE singing. Have I mentioned that yet? We had a fantabulous time of worship at all services this weekend. AND, if you want to watch the fabulousness, we live stream it now! Check out valleycreek.org on Saturdays at 5:30 or Sundays at 9:30 or 11:00. (Dallas time!)
I'll also get a chance to sing even more because I finally broke down and volunteered to lead worship in the Children's Ministry. They were in dire need. I am slowly getting back on track to take over the church again. Student Ministry is getting me as well. Mwa-ha-ha. (Read that in an evil tone.)
MB got back from his mandatory pre-Kindergarten camping trip. Bapa said he had a felony amount of fun. He's ready for 'big boy' school now!
Sorry, but no funny or really interesting stories today. I did warn you. (Mwa-ha-ha!)

Yay for Saturday's!
We had a pretty good day today. I 'finished' my essay. (And I use that term loosely since I wasn't really sure what to do with it.) Only a million more to finish before I finish.
MG got to watch Princess Diaries 2. Oh, she was just in girly-heaven this weekend!
MB is still camping and having so much fun. He caught a fish today, went on a canoe ride on the river, saw/rode (not sure which) on an old train. Bapa decided they would stay the second night because MB asked! I can't wait to hear all about it.
Church was fantastic! It was SO good to be back and singing. (Have I mentioned I love singing?) A slightly low set, but still fun!
I have decided to let some things go, too, today. I figure that God will take care of it. It's hard, but there it is.
Now, nachos and Hostess Cupcakes await!

AND it's Friday
1) Quick trip to that horrid of horrid places - Wal-Mart. Needed pants for MB because...
2) Pre-Kindergarten camping trip with Bapa! He also got some brand new 'water' boots (aka - waterproof) and a new Wall-E flashlight! Look how cute he is:
3) Homework. Gag. So making this assignment up!
4) Star Trek for One Dollar! What could be better? Um, nothing. BB and I had a great "date." LOL! Then cheesy biscuits. MMM.
5) THEN, a trip to the Urgent Care for my mother. We won't go into details, but she's find now that she has drugs. I told her, thought, to NEVER again start a conversation with, "I need you to take me to the emergency room..." Not cool.
6) MG had a wonderful evening, and had eaten an entire pint of ice cream while watching The Princess Diaries for the first time. She was in heaven!
I kind of like this list thing.
End.

Thursday Is After Wednesday
Last night I went to worship practice for the first time in what feels like forever! We'll be doing a new song. I just hope my voice doesn't fail me - it's been so long since I've sang like that!
Then, on the way home, actual crying came from the back seat after MB smacked MG, and then MG felt it appropriate to punch MB in the eye. A very lovely end to the evening.
Today consisted of swimming with my baby elfin cousin (SO CUTE), and pizza for dinner (again).
THEN, MB had to get what I shall call a 'butt-brushing.' Let's just say that he learned the hard way that our toothbrush is for our mouth only. Lots of crying ensued.
No, it's not very exciting, but I warned you!

Explosions?
The oven exploded today.
Not into a fiery ball, thank goodness. More like a gaseous 'poof'. We think there is something wrong with the broiler. You see, I thought I was going to broil the mini-bagel-pizza's, then decided to just bake them. I turned off the broiler and remembered that my mom had told me they had a near-explosion when switching quickly from one to the other, so I waited. Obviously didn't work, because I hear a loud "whoosh' and turned to see the oven door slam shut. Needless to say, we are calling a repair man AND ceasing use of the broiler until further notice.
All is well, and I am enjoying my mini-bagel-pizza's while my children 'clean' their rooms so they can eat.

I know...
I am TERRIBLE at updating this blog. I promise I will try to do better. I suppose my life is SO boring that there really isn't anything exciting to write. So, here is a quick rundown of the few things that have happened:
1) I lost my job at the beginning of June.
2) I was upset about my job loss, but then I snapped out of it and realized God MUST have something wonderous planned for me. So,
3) I decided to go to school. At the ripe old age of 31 I am a college student! Online, of course. Much less expensive and easier to deal with when you have children. How am I paying for it. Yay for VA benefits!!! And grants. So, I'm actually making money to go to school. Nice.
4) In honor of my job-less status, I took a month long 'vacation' of sorts. The kids went to their father's, so I went to the bustling metropolis of Charlottesville, VA. I had a lovely time, during which I
5) spent my birthday weekend in Washington, DC! SO cool! And WAY too much to see! I think my brain exploded slightly from grandeur overload, but still very awesome!
6) Now I am doing school work and hoping to get a part-time job, plus raising my little humans (BOTH of which will go to school this fall!) and attempting to write my first book. Plus the usual church stuff and so on.
That's what's up in a nutshell. I'll try to write something every day (for those of you who are complaining to me, and you know who you are), but I can't promise that I will or that it will be very interesting.
AND... end.

SYTYCD
I have decided to blog about some of my favorite shows. Why? Because I can. And it's easier than coming up with original stuff. :) And I've wanted to for a while anyway. I'll still throw in the ocassional life story as they come up, but this is way more fun on a daily basis!
Ok, so I LOVE this show. It is the only 'reality' show that I watch on Fox, and only one of maybe four that I watch total. (I know - only four out of the 87,000 that are available.) I must write a little something today. (PS - From now on I will blog in a more timely manner as to impart my wisdom in detail. I know you can't wait!)
So, last year we learned how idiotic the American public can be in the whole voting thing. Remember when Will was voted off? That was totally shocking. Hey, Joshua was awesome, and deserved to win, but the early offing of Will still amazes me.
Which brings me to last nights show. WHY was Ade in the bottom two guys? I like Evan. He's got a great personality and is fun to watch, but doesn't have the same talent as Ade. Would anyone like to explain that to me? Thank goodness he wasn't voted off.
Other observations from this week:
- Jason and Jeanine finally got to show that they really can dance. Fantastic routine by Travis Wall. I hope they have him choreograph a lot more!
- I agree with Debbie Allen. The Paso Doble needs to stop! Unless you are Spanish and totally manly/powerful/whatever, you'll never be able to pull it off. I have yet to see it done even remotely good on this show.
- People, you MUST do better solos!! I wasn't excited about any of them this week. Most of them just seemed frantic and didn't really fit the music. If you want America to vote for you, show us!
That is it for today. A few side notes. The new show 'Dark Blue' on TNT had a good opening. 'Psych' starts up August 7, as does the final season of 'Monk'. I also saw a preview of a new USA show called 'White Collar' that could be promising.
Happy TV watching!
