Today I am

Today I am,

• babysitting for Matt & Lily while Jason has a job interview. I'm praying that works out for the best--whatever that means.
• cleaning the house because tomorrow morning I have a job interview. If I get it, I will shortly be watching 2 8-week olds, plus my other situations, which is a little daunting, but I think I can work it out and it would make a huge difference to our financial situation. Praying that works out for the best--whatever that means. :)
• doing laundry, we're all running out of clean things to wear. It's that wonderful time of year when laundry goes twice as far, we're wearing t-shirts and shorts one day, jeans and long sleeves the next, but I've put it off long enough.
  
• conjugating on a statement of Rebekah's that "she's beginning to discover that people who don't believe in themselves are usually pretty special". There's a lot in that statement that concerns me. It could be nothing, it could be an example of my awesome daughter seeing the special in everyone. That's fine. It could also be my daughter falling into the trap of rescuing people, being their cheerleader, propping them up and doing for them what they won't do for themselves, and that worries me.
  
• contemplating the fact that I have to go make 2 school lunches. So thankful there's no school tomorrow and I don't have to make lunches tomorrow. I really, really hate packing lunches. The only thing I hate more is the thought of making them buy the cruddy school lunch food that they won't even eat.
• writing in my planner 4 times this next week that I will find make time to exercise. I have to start somewhere, my life is not going to get any less complicated than it is right now.
• looking forward to a wonderful weekend. I don't have to work tomorrow (well, after my interview), Mark took the day off to be with us, Mark and I are going on a date tomorrow night (yippee for adult children living nearby to babysit), we're watching Matt & Lily Saturday night, the pumpkin farm is in our future sometime this weekend, it should be a very relaxing, fun weekend.
• thanking God for all my blessings. Life truly is good.
