Great weekend!

This was a great weekend! I mean Friday was a long day but I got alot of stuff done. A very boring class, 4 stores for shopping, a little bit of work(LOL), some cleaning and straightening up. By the time I got into bed, my head hit the pillow and it was lights out.

But Saturday was totally cool! Matt had a soccer game. I can only shake my head at that. 3 & 4 year olds playing soccer, or occasionally kicking the ball as they do, is hilarious. Their attention spans are the size of gnats. They kick the ball, it goes away, someone moves in front and they quickly forget what they were doing. I mean we had kids in the net, rolling around in the grass, running back and forth to the bench. We have 6 games left and I'm really ready for it to be over already. I'll think twice about volunteering again to coach.

I had to leave the game right after half time because I was hosting a Pampered Chef party. I love the stuff! I love cooking and cool gadgets for the kitchen just makes cooking easier and more enjoyable. I invited around 20 or so people and 13 ended up coming. I was so surprised and thrilled! Met some pretty cool ladies and hopefully I'm building my friends list in the ELP area! I still haven't found my contacts for babysitting. I have some events coming up at the end of the month so I need to work on those ASAP. I don't want to miss out 'cause I have no one to watch the kids but of course you want someone reliable and not crazy.

I was so inspired by the cooking show though that I came up with a quick and easy dinner for the fam, grilled chicken panini sandwiches (which we had again for dinner today) and then I ended up making cinnamon rolls. Never done any baking of this type before where I had to actually deal with yeast and punching dough but I had all the ingredients on hand plus my new handy, dandy KitchenAid mixer so I had no more excuses. They were a success! Hubs is a Cinnabon fanatic and he said they were actually on point enough where he wouldn't have to go and get his fill so often. I took that as a great complement and know that I can only go up from here, woohoo. My next feat, bread. I just ordered a loaf pan so as soon as it gets here, I'll whip up a loaf and we'll how it goes down. How cool would it be if I started making our bread? Ha!

Church was awesome today! A very good Word. If you're having trouble seeing through your situation and not able to envision the end, stop looking laterally and start looking from God's point (place) of view! He sees from above and is continually moving things around for our good. We just have to make it to the "The End." Everything comes to an end at some point, it's just pressing through to that point. Wow!

Ugh, in the middle of this post we hear baby girl yell out for help. She had thrown up everything it looks like she ate today. Poor thing! I hate when my babies are sick. She woke up fine this morning but after church when we got home, she started acting clingy and real finicky. I thought she was just in one of her moods but she actually wasn't feeling well. We've been talking about taking down the pack n play which has been in our room acting as a temporary clothes hanger for the past 2 months, tonight it will be her bed. She's not running a fever but has thrown up again so I'm keeping a towel underneath her and have some backup pajamas just in case. I'll call it in the morning. Hopefully it's a 24 hour thing and is quickly fading but I will shun work if need be.

And this ends my weekend. I seriously need one more day. I was so busy that I didn't have time to really rest. It was a good busy but at the same time, I am so not ready to go back to work in the morning. I am really looking forward to the day where I can work from home and not have to wake up before the crack dawn if it's not my choice. I know my future holds incredible opportunities and that God has great things in store for us but sometimes the waiting is hard. I want it all right now! Courtesy of the microwave generation I've grown up in. I'm excited though and just hopefully working on what I need to be doing in order to be where I need to be to get what I need to get when I need to get it. I like that sentence. It's now 10 min to 11 and baby girl has thrown up another 2 times so I'm off to try and get some rest. We'll see how it goes!
