hmmm.

Just a quick update on things, thoughts, feelings...
Actually, writing in here tends to help me, ya know, get those thoughts and feelings OUTTA this crazy, often muddled head of mine.

I feel tired. It's sort of bone-tired, like the kind I can't do a whole lot about. No matter what I do this evening, I feel like I will still be tired. So, should I rest or take a walk or go do something productive like read my Shakespeare (Henry IV..ugh) or hey, I know, maybe I will go to the computer lab and write about what I am thinking about doing. (I guess I am doing that as we speak) That will take up enough time so that I won't actually have to make a decision about my evening. Why is this so difficult?

I also feel a bit in waiting mode since I am expecting a call from the family I might nanny for this summer. It is quite hard for me to not think about the future. Does anyone else struggle with this? At times I wish I only really had to worry about today. (hey I think Jesus spoke about this..) I guess I should follow His advice about that. That might be a good idea. But how do I? I feel like I have to have some idea of what my summer is going to look like, i.e. I really want to quit Starbucks and work as a nanny full-time. But I can't think about it or visual it until I hear back from this family, and I feel like I can't move forward looking for another family to work for until I get that phone call. Why do potential employers like to wait until the stinkin' evening of the very last day they say they will call? How simply annoying. Argh.

I watched 50 First Dates for the 10th time or something and I have to say I just love that movie. I especially love the song he sings for her...it is this cheesy, silly ukalalee song. Man, it's amazing that even in silly movies I can get all choked up. Who cries while watching an Adam Sandler movie? (I guess you know that answer...)

4. If he asks to pay for dinner...Remind him that Jesus also paid a debt He did not owe!
5. If he reaches his arm around you...Tell him that nobody will ever be as close to you as Jesus is.(or ask him if you instead could "lay hands" on him in prayer)
