ten kinds of weird.
"I feel ten kinds of weird today," I told Melanie on our way downstairs to the basement of the Underground this morning for Bible study.We got downstairs and set down our stuff, and I proceeded to go make coffee. I walked into the kitchen area, when Melanie exclaimed, "Hey, look at the floor."There was a huge puddle of water on the floor. I hadn't even noticed it as I walked right through it to go to the kitchen.Make that eleven.I feel just "off" today. I really did try to be "on." I think it's the Monday thing. I tried to be SuperMom as I cooked rolls and cinnamon rolls for us all this morning before school, packed hot lunches for the kids

Keelin's playing on my blog :)

Under the lights...
I coach Keelin's soccer team. A few weeks back, I was approached with a fantastic invitation to bring our team to play at halftime of the Nanaimo United (Division 1 Women) soccer game last Saturday night. We'd been to this particular field before just recently, but not at night. Way more impressive at night! We drove up to park. All lit up, it might as well have been Dodger stadium. I felt that same sense of wonder. We'd made it to the bigs.Keelin was adorable. Before we left the house, she had made sure to wear a headband to pull her bangs back. We went to see her thirteen-year old "cousin" play a couple weeks ago at this field on Sunday afternoon (why we'd been there). Before

Costumes and compromises....
November 3, 2009Wow, last week was a whirlwind!Halloween ended up being a whole lot of fun this year. For one, it didn't rain. Secondly, I've finally arrived at the big Halloween promotion. I don't have to walk up and ring the doorbell at every house. I am an end-of-the-driveway Trick-Or-Treater Supervisor now! Yipee! However, the whole Halloween season started out, I could tell, very hard for Candan. He's not ever super big on the day in the beginning of October. He tells me that first day or so of the month that he'd just prefer me buying him a box of chocolate and being done with it (I'd be more than okay with that!). As the month progresses, he usually figures so

duh.
I feel like I've been home all of fifteen minutes in the last five days. We studied peace as a fruit of the Spirit last week, and honestly, it's been the weirdest week for that. I know I have peace, but do I feel peace this week? Deep down when I stop to think from an eternal perspective, yes, but as I am busy, not so much. I sometimes have a disconnect between what I know and what I do. And not just peace, I've acted so unbelievably pitifully this week. And I didn't even go behind my own back to do it. Paul talked about that too. I'm glad I am not the only one who feels like a total idiot sometimes. 14 For we know that the Law is spirit
