What a day!

I woke up this morning and it was just like any other day - Quick! Get to the coffee maker!

But mornings lately haven't been feeling much like mornings a week or so ago. I sit. I drink coffee. We build pillow houses in the living room floor and drape huge blankets over them. We laugh. I tickle my babies. We savor the morning.

Had to go sing at the stuffy church again this morning. Only til the end of June, my friends! We will return soon enough to our real church!! We have really missed it...

When I got home from church, it was 108 degrees in my house - give or take. Chris and I set out to tile our dining room and kitchen. It's really hard to begin a big project like this one - for fear that you won't be able to finish.
My parents can do anything and they have taught us oodles in the process - but I am no master of any trade, so I had to get some help from my parents today. They are so good to help out when we are in a jam!

The kitchen is 85% tiled and the dining room is finished except for the grout. All we have left for tomorrow is underneath the fridge and stove. I am so glad to be getting a major project checked off the to-do list so early in the summer.

I finally turned in my completed application to the administration building last Thursday.
We shall see what becomes of it all.

I have been talked into auditioning for the POPS concert. Every year, they hold auditions to find
a soloist. My college professor seems to think it will enhance the odds of a certain resume finding its way to the top of the stack. I have never even entertained the idea before this year - I did tell her, "I'd rather swallow a horse shoe." And I would. I hate public singing because I make myself sick over it. It's obnoxious. It's also real. Maybe I can grow out of my stage fright, even if it's in adulthood.

My kids are staying the night with my parents tonight so we could finish up the tile job. I must say that 10 blocks away is very nice.

I guess that's it.
