Gladitude Monday

10. I'm gonna be flyin' with Whimzie and the gang. Feel free to join in. Disclaimer: I was emptying my coffee filter into the trash, so that I could make a fresh pot of coffee and fly with clear vision. Um...the coffee grounds jumped out of the filter and all over the under the sink/trash area. Apparently, my first cleaning job is done. Still waiting on the coffee.



9. Glad my friend Mer had fun with her hubs in Seattle. Glad I could be part of the fun.



8. Glad that we're all still persevering on the Wii Fit as a fam. I'm trying to do about 20 minutes each time I'm on it. I did get an email from Nintendo, with a person's name and phone number attached, so I'm going to call them. Read here if you're cornfused about this. I'll keep you posted.



7. Glad I got to sing on worship team yesterday, and got to sing some old hymns that I didn't know. We had a substitute leader yesterday, whom I really like. He and his family are new to our church, and already, I feel like they've been around for a long time. I had to laugh though...he asked the vocalists to do a quick mic check, acapella, of some hymn I hadn't heard of. "Um...I'm sorry, what was that? How does it go?" So he tried again..."What about blah-blah? Let's try that." Um...again...me...deer in the headlights. Finally I said, "I'm not a cradle Christian...do you happen to have something I might know?" "Oh. You're not?" "Nope." "I'm about 8 years into this thing." "Oh...How About Amazing Grace (My Chains are Gone)?" "Okay". And so we did a mic check. I also learned the chorus to "I Need Thee" and "Oh, The Blood of Jesus. Delicious.



6. Gladdy McGlad that Big is home. For nearly a month. Our family just feels so much more in sync with the 4th wheel. Glad to have a lunch date this Wed with him. So, please...no calls. ;)



5. Glad that Big, though tired from his travels, ran out on Saturday night to buy his wife a 12 pack of Diet Coke. Clearly none of you drinks the elixir, based on the comments of my last post, but surely you can identify with his enabling my addiction thoughtfulness.



4. Glad that David is back in school this week. Not that I'm a mean mom...well, I guess that's not true. Glad he's back for both of us. And because he's adding computer programming and Spanish to his schedule. He'll now have 5 hours of class a week. You see, with 5 hours (they're all taught one on one) of class, pretty much every week is Spring Break, so I'm looking forward for his having something new to do. A really nice TJ Maxx is right near his school. Ahem.

3. Glad to hear our local chapter (is that what you call it?) of 4H is nearby. Thinking of that for both kiddos.

2. Glad that God has me noodling...I think it's Him...on what might be next for me. The kids are by no means raised, but I keep having feelings of something coming down the pike for me. Will I re-cert in speech pathology--stupid me, I gave up my CCCs because it was $200 to just keep them. And I haven't had a job-job since about 13 years ago when I retired due to emergency bedrest. I regret that I gave them up. But only a little. If I go back, I'm going to want some new training. I suppose I'd be glad to go thru a few hoops to see that my patients got the most cutting edge care. Will I investigate learning about becoming a counselor of some sort? Will I use any of my experiences with David to help others? Will I just continue doing what I'm doing, trusting God to use me in different volunteering avenues? There's a good restlessness in my heart right now. Praying that I seek and understand and obey.

1. Glad that this is an ordinary, "boring" week. I lurve those. Can you say "rut" girl? I thought you could.
