Update
I have a graduation party to attend tonight. I would consider not going at all, but my initial plans would have not let me. The graduate was bummed. Then I found out I could go and she gave me the biggest hug ever and couldn't stop smiling. Now, I cannot simply subject my friend to greater disappointment by not showing up. I may go for a little while as long as my energy permits me to show my face and support.
Tomorrow as far as church is concerned, I'm not sure if I'll be able to go. This bums me out because I love Sundays. Catch up on everyone's lives while joining in fellowship and gaining much needed encouragement from worship as well as spiritual smacks in the face from Pastor Bob. However, due to my sickness would it be very kind to share the lovely germs that I should be hogging to myself? I suppose I could not asschiote with the older crowd or the kids for fear their weaken immune syestems could come crashing down upon talking to me. But that's half the people I seek out on any given Sunday. Oh the turmoil! Haha...
I may just to stay home during church and then suddenly rise like the sun in time for our first VBX meeting and then another missions trip meeting. I feel so official, I have like four meetings in the next week with church. We'll see...

Everything stops
After waking up and eating lunch is when I was offically smacked with the flu. I became achey. I was shivering even though I had six blankets ontop of me but yet I had a 102 degree fever. I fell asleep on the couch about six times during the day and really couldn't muster much strength to do anything else. I had class and work yesterday but it seemed physically impossible to get up and go to get something out of the kitchen, I couldn't imagine driving, sitting through a four hour class, and chasing sixty children.
Today, I feel much better. Now let me define better- no chills and fever has gone down a bit, but I'm still completely exhausted, still got a nagging cough, and nose is still stuffed up but I can breathe out of it! My ears are starting to give me problems, so the worst of it is still to come.
I will say this though, it worked out really well that I got sick this week. I was supposed to being working at a conference this week, starting tomorrow till about Sunday. I asked for the days off at work and used my last vacation days that I needed to use up before the end of the month. Well, my school schedule would not allow me to have to particpate in the conference but my boss gave me the days off already so I figured I would use the days to study and to do other productive things. However, I still had sick days to use and I wasn't about to make up being sick to use them so I waited for a legit reason to call in. Yesterday and today are my days that I consider legit sick days. So I get the whole week off to recover. Hopefully though, I can push past exhaustion and get some stuff done.

Where has the time gone?
Current mood- content in all facets
Current word- Disquieted (sometimes when I hear a word, it will ring in my head over and over until I find the definition of it)
As you can easily see, it has been a few days or more since I have updated this bad boy. Life has been a whirlwind of busyness for the last few weeks. I cannot even attempt to capture everything that has happened. Nothing bad I do assure you however, no news is good news. So much has happened since Good Friday and it would be torture for me to tell you of everything so I will have you look forward with me.
This summer is going to be one of my busiest summers of my life. I will be working, hopefully two jobs- one at the daycare and I am looking for a part time nanny position. (I know, working with more kids, what can I say? I love them) I do not have a lot of hours at the daycare right now and as much as I wish it wouldn't be a problem, I need a new car and I am taking part of a missions trip in a little over a month.
This missions trip is to Manitoulin Island (across the lake at the Sleeping Bear Dunes) in Canada to put on a VBS for an Indian tribe. I am not going to lie, I am absolutely thrilled about this trip. We will be, you'll never guess, working with kids....oh the shock of such an omission! I have been wanting to go on a missions trip since I left Jamiaca back in my graduating year of 2007! This trip has been such a God thing and I cannot wait to go on it! Right now I am preparing for it by being the group secterary, which I truly love. One of my weirdest nerd qualities is I love taking on the role of secterary. I love making copies, organizing papers, and taking notes...all that stuff!
Leading up the trip I am taking two classes- Nutrition (Tuesdays / Thursdays 8:00am-11:55am) and Sociology (Mondays / Wednesdays 12:30-4:00) starting tomorrow. I am truly excited honestly, I did some research on my professors and they had phenemonal reviews. Annndd maybe to have a right to complain and reason to get another job, I found out I will be travelling something like 200 miles for class for the next months. Yay. Especially with this gas prices our president of change increased...by change maybe he's hoping will trade in our cars for tennis shoes since soon we will be walking everywhere. Haha. Small minor rant. ; ) The nice thing is the classes end two days before the trip and everything else that I have going on this summer.
I am of course working in VBS as well. For the sencond year I will be serving in VBX, the ministry for upcoming sixth graders. We have a stellar team that I am so excited to work along side with. Along with talking about VBX, this summer I have been asked to start teaching in Ignite on Wednesday nights. I have taken the awesome responsiblity and I start next week. Amazingly enough this Last minute Lucy who writes this blog has already written a rough outline of her lesson which is The Great Commission. Ohh...I gotta come up with a title. The Great Commission not for the fainthearted. Haha...we'll see!
There's more this summer will be filled with but I should go now. Currently I am housesitting and I should do some cleaning. Last night I had some friends over (with the permission of the owners) and we had a M. Night Shymalan marathon. The dead people, unbreakable heros, the creepy aliens, those we don't speak of but tend to speak of a lot, and the pale water lady all lasted us till about five o'clock this morning. It seemed we had a competition who's energy could go all night. Yours truly just started to fade at like three in the morning in the middle of Lady In The Water. Someone had asked if I was sleeping, I replied no but dozed off shortly after for a sencond. Ben holds the award for staying wide awake the entire time however, he cheated. His job during the winter entails him to be awake midnight through early the next morning. If it probably would have not been Sunday night, I could have done it without so much a blink. ; )

As the Thunder Roars
I am truly thankful this week is almost over. It hasn't been a horrible week, just very emotionally draining. Life isn't bad necessarily, (my circumstances do not determine my happiness) it just has been a long week. A few little things have come up, stuff like a lady I worked for and with last summer is dying. I am trying not to let myself think too deeply of it but I can't run forever, it's going to hit me that a lady I spent everyday with loving on her with everything in me to feed her, bathe her, get her out of bed every morning, talking with her, watching TV...it's gonna hit me that she has about a week left to live when I have a chance to realize the sadness of it.
Then there is this situation at work, that I had not seen the enormity of the situation till this morning. I need so much prayer in this situation, I am fighting the hugest spiritual battle in my life at a christian school. Those beautiful little people are not being treated right, I myself being beaten over and over again, and God's name in this place is no where near being glorified. That situation right then and there has completely ran me completely dry this week. I am so weary that I feel like collapasing on my bed and never waking up again. But I need to go to work, everyday during the week, and stand up for those beautiful amazing children and I need to stand up for gospel.
Pray...I need strength in this fight.

Can You Imagine?

Friday Night
Currently listening- WallE Soundtrack, hehe : )
Trying to Do: Read three chapters and take notes for Early Childhood Education
Truly desiring to do: Crawl into warm bed and fall asleep
Current Mood: About to fall asleep on keyboard
It's about five minutes after midnight and I am fighting every urge in my flesh to crawl into my bed and sleep. I had promised myself tonight I would stay up, study, and get some homework done. There are two factors I did not see coming that would prohibit this idea and that is 1. I would have an eight hour shift today (once again, most of ya'll work that everyday but in my line of work, that is one heck of a long day) annndd I have been awaiting my midday sencond wind to come in since noon and it has failed to arrive. I believe it is safe to say, twelve hours later...it is not coming anytime soon. My luck (I don't believe in luck just to let you know) it will arrive when I am trying to sleep.
Yesterday after a seven hour shift that went extremely well, I headed over to my best work friend's house. Sara, William (the custodian at school and Sara's brother) and I ate delicious Lebanese food for dinner. I am a quarter of Lebanese so that stuff makes me extremely happy! After stuffing out faces with Humus, Meat Pies (chopped up Lamb), Kibbe (Raw lamb), and pita like bread, we took our full bellies down to their basement to watch Walle. I believe it was my...well let's see, New Jersey, girls from church, babysitting Farmers/Warbingtons, babysitting Russells, family, Will and Sara...I am sure there's more then that but that's sixth time seeing that amazingly precious movie! One day I will own it! : )
Tomorrow the game plan flows something like this: going to Sarah's soccer game at 8:30 (I honestly doubt if I'll be able to pull my coma like self out of bed) do a few at home projects, go to Great Skate for one of my sixth grade darlings birthday party from one to four, follow her family home for cake and ice cream. Study what I could not do tonight. I am going to try to see if Da has a hockey game so I can have a chance to hang with my Jenn Duffaroo! : )
On Sunday night, Jordan and Jessa are leading Sunday Night... I am soooo excited! It will be an incredible night that I have been looking forward too! Yayyy! Afterwards we get to go to the Huteks for bible study as always! Yayyyy!!!
I should stay up till all hours till my notes are done, but I am dying. I'll just finish my one project so I do not have to work on it tomorrow. Worse case scenario is I have to do it Monday being that I work 3-5:45! (yucky short hours but, give me time at home and to be productive with homework, if I use it well) Alright, gotta get to that project so I can get into my big comfy bed! Yay! : )

Just About Recovered
Thursday, February 26, 2009
The Last One of the Season...
This time I am going to bravely teach the children I song I wrote and see if it flies. I actually had a few guinie pigs to try it tonight. I babysatt ten little ones under six years old for small group. They actually did a lovely job following it besides the fact I couldn't do my own motions right. After we did that song, we engage in some other worship songs. As their little voices sang, apparently their parents were praying upstairs and recieved great joy hearing their little ones singing praises. Meanwhile, Rachel was just leading in singing only because we had already cleaned the basement and did all the things the kids wanted to do. I was asked if we could make this time a teaching/worship time for them. Being that tonight went rather well, I will try to allow it to happen more.
So anyways, with success tonight with my song I will defintely have more courage to use it for the kids tomorrow. I think they'll appreicate it more, maybe. Pray for our weekend. Pray for safety, health, their hearts will be prepared for the lessons. If you find it in your heart as well, pray for me. For the last two weeks, everytime I eat, I seem to face unpleasant reprecussions from it. The worse it gets is pretty nasty nauseua that makes me feel really sick and ready to gag. If you remember that, it would be nice. Thank you.
Hope you all enjoy your weekends. I will be home Sunday night. I will probably head over to the Hutek's where Jenn has offered her shower and bed for me to crash at until bible study. I am pretty sure I will take her up on it. : )

Overview of Saturday
I came home a half an hour after noon and hit the books studying almost immeaditely. I memorized the last fifteen terms for a test I have on Tuesday. I have it all the terms memorized three days early. That could be described as a record! After that, I quickly cleaned up my room since I just cleaned it a few days ago. I just picked up the random items that fell from my hands to the floor.
Dad, mom, and I spent some time on youtube showing each other various videos. Sitting between my parents felt so...I don't know, lovely. I love those two so much. After the video sharing, I outlined the next chapter of the same class I studied for earlier. We ate dinner together shortly after. Shrimp Alfredo...yummm!
I then started to clean up my little office space downstairs I have. I use it for studying, scrapbooking, reading, doing devotions, and other various activites. So I decided to organize and put more decorations in it all today. I got so into it I loss track of time and forgot about Da's (Dan Stephens) hockey game I was invited to go too. By the time I realized what time it was, the game would have been over in twenty minutes. Aw well. I took pictures of the various parts of my cozy little space. So here are some pictures of it....with my running commentary.
This is the whole space in general complete with old wicker bookshelf, various pictures I took that mom framed, pictures and reminders of people I love, the desk I recieved as gift from my high school drama teacher, and Frank Po sitting up my suitcase that will be packed in a couple days for White Out.
Next we have, my collection of notebooks and DVD's. The notebooks generally carry stories. I also have some cards from my birthday that just warmed my heart. I also have a picture of my late Grandpa Tony and me when I was four years old.
Under that shelf, we will find more notebooks however these ones carry notes from school and notes I shared back and forth with friends. There are two bags in the middle, one holds a pretty design and the other is a Teletubbies one. I use these bags to carry encouraging notes people have written me over the years. When ever I find myself not loved, which I am ashamed to admit, is more often that I would like, I go through those notes. I should read the Word...but I don't. I also have three different Hoops and Yoyo cards from people who know I love a good Hoops and Yoyo card. A card a friend sent me from Florida while I was in Germany. Photo ablums that hold my favorite photography shots I have taken. One day I will use them to have prospect buyers look through. All four of my high school year books are lined up in order.
One the bottom we have my scrapbooking supplies. I think that row holds my favorite things to organize. I was able to organize my stickers...which for anyone who has ever scrapbooked with me can say that is a huge deal.
Here is the wonderful free desk. I was in the market for a cheap desk for a little over a few weeks. One day, as I was having lunch with my drama teacher, Ms Swan, I saw she had moved her desk in the garage to be pitched. I asked her what price she would allow me to have it for. She insisted I just take it. So I took her sixteenth birthday present and it nows sits in my basement. Amberlee, my laptop, sits there (with the Ignite group as the background) owning the show probably playing my newest instrumental music addiction- chinese music with an erhu playing as the main instrument. Pure beauty. I am not going to bore you, more than I already have, with all the items in the desk area. Hmm idea. *Thinks out loud* I could decorate the outside of the drawers with several different pictures. Ohhh that's a splendid idea. When I get my own house, it will decorated with so many pictures of the ones I love. Just watch.
I love Saturdays, no work, no school -plenty of time to be productive with stuff that cannot get done during the week. Most the time anyways there aren't many Saturdays spent like this. Usaully I am lazying around. However, there are many Saturdays I wish Sunday wasn't after. Days like today I will be wanting to charge various projects and stay up all night doing so. Like right now, I want to reorganize my bookshelf in my room. But being that it is almost midnight and I have not showered for tomorrow, I can not. *Looks down defeated* OH well...tomorrow is Sunday which is another glorious day. Goodnight and good luck! : )

His Greatest Loss
Months before, Lucas and his entire literature class had an assignment to write about loss. He could not place at that moment what exactly he wrote as his greatest loss but he knew that it would not compare to the empty hole Keith left behind. After eighteen years of selflessly loving Lucas like his own son, Keith went out to sign papers to officially adopt Lucas during school. Lucas and he would go out for dinner and a basketball game in Charlotte to commemorate the event after school. That day had been January 26. The day of the shooting.

Weekend Adventures
Current mood: tired with hungry stomach
Current food in making: Mac N Cheese
In an hour I will be: leaving for school for the day
This weekend I had the chance to go up north from about Friday evening till well...about 7:00 this morning. As much as I wished that it would have been a vacation, it was more of a study retreat. While everyone did the various stuff- shopping, go into town to see a movie, sightseeing, I stayed and studied. Joy to the world...
We (meaning my mom, Sar Bear, and her best friend Brooke) headed up Friday evening as I said previously. We all brought along tons of luggage and enough germs to bring back the bubonic plague. Mom had a pretty nasty cold, Sarah had just got over a fever, Brooke just recovered from Bronchitis, Laryngitis, and the Flu, and I had was home sick from work because I stayed up all night with stomach issues. Plumbing issues as my dad calls them. All in all the health of the group was overwhelming.
Half way to the cabin, we stopped at Bronner's. It is one of the biggest Christmas stores. We took a gander at all decorations. The Grinch that writes this blog really enjoyed herself despite the unsettleness in her stomach and the fact she likes Christmas to stay at Christmas time. I cannot wait to own a home where I can decorate it with stuff like that. I found this beautiful music box playing this most amazing music. I fell in love with it. It was this large honker of thing but it was just beautiful! I asked how much it was and to my astonishment, it was $13,000 buckaroos! I vowed when I come into tons of money, I'm going to go buy it. It's just one of those weird expensive things people want.
A few days later...
I thought I posted about the trip already but upon checking it, I realized I had not. So now a few days later, here I am, updating my update. Anywhoo, after Bronner's we headed up to the cabin. I also failed to mention that Uncle Kerry and Aunt Deda own this cabin up in the woods. Since the patriarchs of our two families have been best friends since eigth grade, we go up to cabin quite frequently. Well...we is the interesting word, I maybe get a chance to get away about once or twice a year. Which is truly great but being that my family was up there five times before my first time this past year, it's sad. It's tough being an adult. ; )
We arrived at the cabin a little after eleven o'clock. We put in Kung Fu Panda but since we all were not top notch healthy, we all fell asleep before the ending. Uncle Kerry and Aunt Deda, after dropping off Katey Bug, at Lake Ann for the Winter Advance, arrived at 3am. The next day was full of lazy souls...mainly me, procastinating against productivity and homework.
However, sicne it was VDay, I decided to take a romantic walk with the love of my life, God. I walked for three miles which equaled about two hours and a half. I brought along Gracey, the Weishaupt's dog. I prayed out loud since no one was around, I sang various songs even made up some too. It truly was awesome and needed.
After Saturday, I studied. Studying, studying, studying...did I mention I studied? By Monday night my brain was crammed about various ways to study children and methods. I studied for a bit on the way home. I took my two tests when we got home and they went extremely well. I got a 90% on one. : ) The other one, which I was more confident about then the other, I pretty sure I got an 100%. That excited my soul so much and has me motivated to keep studying. So with that said, I am going to get to that. : )
Pictures of the trip will be posted soon.
