Good morning to you! Peaceful morning here so far. Sun is just starting to shine. Amber is still asleep.
Checked in here early to see if there was any news on Jeanie's grandson, and to see how many kittens Amy had last night! Congratulations Bundylee!
Today is my 8th Anniversary. Hard to believe it has been 8 years ago I took the plunge so to speak. Alot of changes since then...we don't live in town, my father has since passed away, and we have a new baby girl. So some bad, some good changes.
Funny thing this morning...hubby left a beautiful Anniversary card on the arm of my chair before he left for work, for me to find when I woke up this morning. But guess what? It's the same exact card I got him!!! Won't he be surprised when he gets home? :laughing: Guess we just were thinking alike!! (scary thought :tounge2: ) We are leaving Amber with hubbies mom tonight for an hour so we can go out to the Chinese place (my favorite) for supper.
Merlin is in the house rubbing on my leg. He got spoiled last night...we had BLT's for supper and he got some leftover bacon. Boy was he on cloud 9!
Trying not to think about my problems today...I need a break. I don't want to think about what I should do about going back to work or not, or if we can make it, or if I can leave her, etc etc. I just want to relax today. I just would like one day of not having the feeling of dread and doom over me. Maybe I should start buying lottery tickets...might get lucky...LOL.
Called our paster yesterday to set a date for Amber's christening. They actually just call it a "dedication" service at my church. The thing is, I don't go to church very often anymore, which doesn't mean I am not spiritual, it just means I don't feel I have to be in a formal church service once a week to be in touch with God. But the pastor said that if we have her dedication ceremony there, we have to agree to raise her in church and start bringing her there on Sunday's. We have to agree to this in front of the whole church. Well, I have been meaning to make more of an effort to go to church more often, and I do want to take Amber to church when she is old enough for Sunday School and to comprehend what is being said, BUT...I don't like the thought of feeling like I'm being pressured into it either...I mean now every Sunday I will think, "well, I'd better go, we said we would, and what will all the people think if we don't" it's like breaking our word to God or something. But there are going to be Sunday's I just don't feel like going...either because we have prior plans, or I am just too exhausted from being up with Amber half the night. So I'm not thrilled about that part of it. I do want to take her to church, yes, but not have to make some kind of a promise in front of God and the whole church and then feel guilty if I only go say one Sunday out of the month instead of all 4.
But that's the only way he will do it, and I do want her to have this ceremony, I have bought the beautiful dress and everything and it means alot to me. It will mean alot to her too someday.
Wow...I'm long winded this morning!!!! Sorry about that!!!!
What do you all have planned for today? Hope everyone has a great day!!!!!!!
