Members

I haven't actually become a "member" of a church since back when I was in college, but yesterday I filled out the short little form and I am becoming a member of the church I am now attending.

Actually, I should note that Hubby and I are both becoming members.

If you're asking what's it matter, well, I guess in the grand scheme of things it doesn't. Or maybe it does?

For us it is just our gesture of commitment. Committed to being a part of the fellowship, to helping with church activities, to praying for and with the church family and the pastor...

I'm excited to be a part of it all.

Happy Me!

I bought myself a present...  It's the new NIV Study Bible from Zondervan.

I love it.

I think the best way to describe it is that it is textbook-ish.  And the nerd in me just thinks that's the coolest.

Can't wait to dive in!

Hmm...

Still coughing up yuckiness.

Still short of breath.

But my ear feels fine again!

I won't be working out today. Two reasons: It's Bug's Cub Scout night and I don't think I could make it through a workout yet without passing out.

In other news... Despite still feeling gross, we went to church yesterday. I'm really liking this church. Bug seems comfortable there as well, and that is super important. I like that my family has been welcomed in so warmly. I like that my son is accepted, quirks and all.

I like that it's a church with a doctrinal statement I can agree with 100%.

And still more news... I'm debating closing the Momma's Time blog. I just don't see the point in it anymore. I think I'm mommy blogged out. I just like this, regular whatever I feel like blogging.

It probably seems silly to some that I think about this so much. I'm just weird that way I guess.

Who knows... I'll sleep on it.

Oh... I've decided 100% to pull Bean and homeschool her next year. She'll finish kindergarten at regular school, but I just can't even visualize myself sending her there next year. In fact, the thought of doing so makes me feel ill.

Rested

I slept like a rock last night.

I actually feel rested.  I haven't felt rested in over a week.

I'm still sick, but feeling rested actually makes the being sick not as bad.

My left ear really hurts.

I haven't been to workout in a week now and I feel really gross...  I'm so used to my daily workouts that it's almost like a drug addict going through withdrawals.  I'm hoping that by Monday I will be back at it.  I feel so much better having gotten rest that I'm pretty certain a couple more days and this will all be over.

Go, Go, Go!

I know I need rest. I need to just lay down and shut my eyes and take a nap.

I need to, but I can't.

Today is the last day of this supposed super-antibiotic I was given. I'm beginning to think I may have to call the doctor and go in tomorrow. I still feel everything in my sinuses and my chest is heavy and the cough is not going away. On top of that, my left ear is throbbing and I'm certain that my hearing is in danger on that side. It feels as if I've got an ear muff on there, but I don't! I'm not hearing well and those antibiotics should have killed an ear infection so something is not right.

Maybe I just need sleep? Maybe my body needs time?

I feel like I can't stop though. Everyone needs something. They all expect a clean place to live and food to eat and help with their daily stuff.

Good grief, I'm whiney!!!

I guess that's what happens... Ya get sick and ya get whiney.

I'm sure I'll live. Bear with me...
