| I am not dead.
I am not sick.
I am just busy. :)
Oh and xanga isn't on the top of my list ...
So... I have babysat for three days in a row. It has
been so fun, but it has also reminded me how much mothers give. It has
given me a little taste of the true exhaustion that comes with taking
care of children all day long, but I'd have to say the smiles and
giggles and unabashed love have to make up for that. As nice as it will
be to have a relatively free day tomorrow, I will miss not sharing it
with little kids.
Random realizations:
I babysat for some of the cutest kids on the planet (that is my planet :) this weekend.
A child's laughter can not be topped.
Children are very perceptive, even if they don't have the language skills to communicate it.
I prefer the 1 year old stage to the 2 year old stage, but they are both pretty stinkin cute.
Cuddly children rock my socks off. Nothing quite like having a little snuggle buddy.
I am grateful I am not a mom yet.
I love that other people let take part in their children's lives.
Pretty awesome.
Oh and in case you couldn't tell I LOVE KIDS :) even if they can be exhausting tough work.

| Okay so me and bad moods aren't common acquaintances, but this past
week we have been on more friendly terms. I don't like it. I am ready
to be done with all the cram and study junk so I can get back to my
normal relationship with bad moods 
So pray that God gives me the grace to rise above the stress and not
get bad attituded, but rather to be an even better reflection of Christ
while I am under stress or whatever you call these end of the semester
blues.
All my friends who are out there in the same boat... I am praying for you.

| I decided to have some fun capturing the spring beauty... in my house.
Unfortunately they were all blooming just fine on their own outside, and then Old Man Frost decided to return.
They were rushed into safety and warmth before he struck... and here are a few to tell their story :)

| I am imagining I have all the time in the world to waste browsing
xangas, facebook, other time consuming websites, but in reality I
don't. Ah.... I just stopped to listen for a moment to everything that
is screaming for my attention.
How to get back into the swing of school after spring break? I DON'T
KNOW! What about how to get back into the swing of things after a
really awesomely good spring break?!!!! I am at a complete loss. I have
been struggling all day with the sadness of starting up again, the
perpetual grumpiness that lies beneath the surface of my heart, and the
missage of people I spent last week with. I mean I even miss my sister
and she is only a few miles away from me.
Eek.
So pray that God gives me grace to get back into the swing of things
today so I don't have to struggle with this for the rest of the week.
Oh and the other thing plaguing my mind is what I am going to do this
summer. A longer term missions trip is out of the picture, but there is
the possibility of cooking/driving/helping with an ECHO team. After
being there this past week I can think of nothing I would like to do
more, but there is the slight problem of employment and such that
hasn't been lined up for this summer.
I have put some feelers out for what I could do for work this summer so
my prayer request would be that God would direct by either opening or
closing those doors. Pray that I would be able to line up employment
soon so I can know whether or not to pursue ECHO this summer.
Thanks friends.

| I am having a lovely oh time staying at my sister's house this week. My one sister is gone so I get to help with the doggie woggies. :) They have been... dogs, but I gotta love them because they are the closest thing I have to my own dogs.
Anyway... moving on from dogs ... Life aka school for now at least.
We got our blocking sheets today. Which basically means we have our sheets that tell us what sections of the classes are availble and how to coordinate those together. It is kind of sad because a lot of the hospitals for this semester are off campus. How uncool is that? I mean... I don't really want to be making a rut in the ground between my house and shelbyville or my house and community north. Eek. On the note of blocking sheets... you can be praying for me. I am trying to decide who I want to be in a block with. Obviously I don't really know for sure until we all sign up and stuff, but I am trying to decide who to go with as far as trying for the same block. I really do like my groupies from this semester, but I would love to be with some more Christian girls. Thankfully our schedules over all line up more next semester through out the blocks so it would be easier to do Bible studies with the other girls even if we weren't in the same block. I guess I am struggling because the comfortable choice is to go with the Christians, but I do feel like God has me in the girls lives (who I am with this semester) for a reason. Plus... they are all counting on me going in with them and it would be a little awkward to be like "peace... see you later I am leaving." I don't know!!!
Pray for wisdom... and God's sovereign will to shine forth.
The awesomest would be to get both "groupies" in the same groupy!
On other life/school notes... I didn't have clinical last week like I said last time...and we still haven't heard from our professor... which is highly abnormal. I am soooooo hoping and praying we have clinical this week. It would be a big let down and a big pain to not have it.
And moving right along... I am so excited that spring break is next week. My sister and I are road tripping it to Florida to get some good sweaty work in and some fun sistertimes :) I can't wait. This week has been SO long already. :)
Alrighty now I am off to the land of sleep and dreams. Have fun with life friends.
