Scarey Thoughts and Fun Times

I just did something scarey - I put a link to this blog on my facebook page.  Ugh!  What if someone actually checks it out!!!  That's part of the irony of me - I love expressing myself, but I'm terrified to expess myself - someone might actually find out what's in my head!  Is it possible to be an introverted extrovert?  Or am I an extroverted introvert?? I don't know.  Something to pounder when you can't sleep at night.

I had a great time with Erin & Matt this weekend.  I miss my little girl when she's gone and love it when she's home.  But I'm also so proud of the woman she's become and I know she'll have a great, blessed, life with Matt as they follow God's lead.  You never where God's gonna lead you, but ya gotta love the ride!  Matt's family came for a visit, too.  I think they had a good time.  We did.  You can tell a lot about a person by his family, so I guess Matt's gonna do alright!  It was really busy though, with Erin & Matt coming home Thursday, doing wedding planning stuff Friday, Matt's mom, dad, brother & sister here Saturday til Sunday, and my family here for dinner Sunday (there were 29 here for dinner - just your average meal for the Miller family!), and Erin & Matt staying until today.  Busy, but good times.  And perfect weather for Easter.  The kids could play outside and not just run though the house all the time.  By kids I mean the nieces, nephews, & grandkids under 8 and brothers, sisters and son over 20!  Sometimes it's hard to figure out who's who.  As I said - fun times!

Well, that's enough for tonight.  It's getting late (or early if you look at my clock), so I'd better try and get some actual sleep.  I guess.

Have a blessed week!

Just Another Thursday

There are times when I feel really productive.  And times, like now, when I feel like I'm never going to actually get anything done.  The 'list' keeps growing and few things are getting crossed off.  So, what do I do?  I go online and post something here instead of finishing up what I should be doing.  Oh well,  I guess I'm human after all (as if my kids didn't already know that - they've reminded me of it many times!

What I should be doing - cleaning, getting the rest of the groceries for this weekend, cleaning, putting away the groceries I picked up yesterday, cleaning, producing the HUB Happenings so I don't have to do it when my company's here, cleaning, getting the rest of the addresses for the wedding guest list, cleaning, writing goals and objectives for the Go Team, cleaning, filling the plastic easter eggs for the kids' hunt on Sunday, and cleaning.  I really don't have THAT much cleaning to do, I just don't like to do what I DO have to do.  So, I procrastinate.  In all fairness, though, I only have 10 minutes until I need to leave for a doctor's appointment (something funky going on with my feet - but you probably didn't want to know that;), and I hate being in the middle of something and then not having time to finish it.  So, I just don't start!  But I know I'll get it all done before my guests get here.

Speaking of guests - there's supposed to be anywhere from 27 to 33 here for Easter dinner this Sunday.  Matt's parents and brother are coming from Ohio, so that'll be nice.  I just hope my family doesn't scare them away - so many people - so little space! 

The best part of this weekend tho is the fact that it's Easter!  Today is Maundy Thursday -- the time when my Savior, Jesus Christ, put himself through un-imaginable pain and agony just for me!  Satan sure thought he had him but then on Sunday He won!  Just for me!  He put Satan in his place by overcoming all evil when he rose from the dead.  I love the celebration we get to do because of what He did.  And, we don't have to buy other people presents to celebrate it!  I just pray that I can be this enthusiastic when speaking with anyone about Easter.  Everyone needs to know why it's such a great celebration!  Thank you, Lord!

Well, I've taken up my 10 minutes, so I've got to get going.  If you're reading this - and actually read to the end - know that this weekend is for you, too!  God's blessings on you and have a super celebration!
