A Little Bit of Everything

-Aunt Sonya spoke at church Sunday for Sanctity of Life.  I was so very proud of her.  I love you Sonya, and am so thankful for your dedication to your ministry.  I was either on the verge of tears or crying all morning.  Obviously with our 5, we believe children are truly a gift and a life that should be cherished.  Thank you for all your work on the front lines in this war on abortion. 

-It may seem silly to some, but the simple concept of a sandwich has made me happy.  My children have never been cold sandwich eaters.  On a whim, I purchased some hoagie rolls, ham and cheese.  Apparently they didn't realize what they were missing and now  ask for ham sandwiches for lunch.  Yipeee for easy and healthy lunch alternatives!

-We received our papers in the mail to renew our tags.  Not real sure how, but ours is higher than last year.  I'm thankful we have cars that are 5 & 6 years old, I can't fathom what it would be like if we had new cars.  As it is, it's 1/2 a house payment.  Holy Cow!  We aren't prepared for that.  Hopefully the Y will get in gear and give me some hours ASAP.

-I went and got my eyes checked today.  I purchased a pair of frames online and haven't decided whether I'll use them or not.  I have issues with freckles on my eyes and pinguecula spots and both get worse with sun exposure.  If I don't use them for every day, I'll likely have shaded lenses put in them to protect my eyes from further degeneration.  The funny thing is, when I showed the doc my frames to see if they'd make good sunglasses his response surprised me.  He said, "They're not really appropriate for a pastor's wife.  They're too blingy for every day." My gut reaction was to have them filled and wear them for every day just out of defiance.  What do you think?

I resisted my defiant behavior and waited.  I have another pair of frames that will be here early next week from Wendy.  I'll make a decision once those arrive.  Apparently, Minister's wives aren't allowed to be trendy?
