the occasional blogger…

So for the past few months, I seem to have lost my blogging mojo.

I’m not really sure why.  Busyness is an easy explanation…I just don’t have a whole lot of time to get on the computer lately.  But I’ve always been busy so I’m not so sure that the answer is that simple.  Writer’s block…half-baked brain…who knows?

anywho…

Here’s a little bit of what’s been going on…

The Calvary Chapel Pastor’s Conference was amazing…Doug and I were there Monday-Wednesday.  8 of our church leaders and their wives came too…it was an incredible time of teaching and fellowship and FUN and bonding.  The boys stayed with my parents, which was of course a huge blessing for us…and for the boys.  They had a blast.

Doug is still getting extra work, even though the busy Christmas season is over.  Dapper Dans has called him four times since the new year and his group just booked an out of town corporate gig next month.  Woo-hoo for that.

Our house is just about ready to go back on the market.  We’ve got a few decisions left to make about pricing and realtor stuff, but hopefully we’ll wrap that up quickly and get back in the game.  Our neighborhood market got very interesting over the weekend when our next door neighbor’s realtor screwed up his price drop and listed his house on the MLS…for three days…at $3.95 million.  We had quite a few cars doing the slow drive past his house over the weekend and I’m quite sure that they were all very confused.

Today at Publix, there was an extremely pregnant young lady checking out in front of us.  To my horror, Isaac looked over, pointed and hollered, “WHOA, MOM!  That’s a big ‘ol belly!”  As my eyes bugged out and my mouth dropped to the floor, he continued…”How come she has such a big ‘ol belly?”

oh. my.

Shouldn’t a trap door come standard in all grocery stores?

Well…thank you Lord…the lady with the big ‘ol belly was fully engaged in conversation with the cashier and did not seem to notice Isaac’s little outburst.  And…thankfully…my quick and matter of fact answer that “she’s got a baby in her belly” elicited only a few eye blinks from Isaac in response.  I did NOT want to get into the “hows” and “whys” of the baby in the big ‘ol belly on this particular day.

Well…that’s my occasional post for today.

I hope that your week is going beautifully…
