More Than Stone

I feel so out of touch with the blogosphere. I traveled this weekend for work and was hoping to get to meet Calacirian this weekend, but didn’t get in touch soon enough. Darn it. Oh well, I’m in that area pretty often, so I’ll just meet her next time!

We are still in between churches. We found a great start up church. The vision is right up our alley in so many ways. However, there is not one kid my daughters’ ages, so we’ve been going to one church in the morning (more teens) and the other church in the evening. I always feel like I’m kind of cheating. It’s been 2 years since we left our staff position and 8 months since the home church thing blew up. I’m really feeling a desire to plug in somewhere and get settled. What DO YOU DO when you find a great church, but your kids don’t feel at home there? I’m really torn….any advice?

So I’ve been too quiet for the last few weeks. I had out of town company for two weeks. I had a great time, but I’ve realized that entertaining someone for 2 weeks can be taxing. I dropped my company off at the airport on Saturday. On Sunday, Mother’s Day, I got down to finally tackling some of the homework necessary for the 2 new classes I’m taking towards a nursing degree. Sunday evening entailed a trip to the ER, then my eldest daughter decided to give me her appendix for Mother’s Day. Several days in the hospital and now we have her home ….

I still have housework and homework to catch up on. I am leaving tomorrow for DC to work. ARGHHHH….

Too much to do, too little time.

My blog is calling and yet I do not have the time necessary. I haven’t even really had time to read my favorite blogs. Oh well. Here is the only glimpse I can give you into my thought process these days…

itis-inflammation
otomy-incision
nephr/o- kidney
mediastinum- the space between the lungs
appendectomy-worry, work suffering while sitting bedside, sleep missed with a 3 am surgery, limping around daughter, check up next week.

Hope everyone is well……

I’m following in the path of Molly from Adventures in Mercy. I’ve signed up to take two classes this semester. I’m finally taking the big jump and going back to school for a nursing degree. I’m taking Medical Terminology and Developmental Psychology this semester. Summer is a shortened semester, so I’ll be cramming in the knowledge over the next few weeks. Both classes are very heavy on memorization, so my posting levels may be down until I finish these courses.

In addition to that, it is the end of the school year for the kids. We have SATs, AP exams, band concerts and art shows to attend. My middle child is taking her SAT today. Can you say “stressed out and a bit crabby”? (Not me–her)

My posting will be down (or perhaps non-existent) for the next week or so, as I have my aunt in town. We plan to bum around, talk, and drink coffee in the morning and wine in the evening.

It will be lovely….
