I had an epiphany

but I will have to share that with you tomorrow. I went to church tonight by myself, expecting the kids to be in bed when I got home so that I could go to bed as soon as I walked through that door. Yet here I sit at 10:30 pm, waiting for the crazies to call it a night. I am exhausted, but Jack took a nap today for the first time in months, so it may take another hour before he sleeps. Ugh.

In the mean time, thought i'd pop in here and share my new favorite page with you. I told you how I am working on scrapping all those little details in our lives, remember? Well, mango juice is our new family obsession. It's ice blended and only a buck, plus it's just right across the street on the beach. When they see us coming, they say, "How many?" :) It just makes me happy.


Plus, can I just tell ya how much I LOVE that kit by Dani and that stamped alpha by CD?!

Well, since I am still here, Il'l tell ya about our church. We used to go to a service in the local language,, which we speak. But it is two hours long, and at least half an hour of that is announcements. Plus there isn't a place for my very active sons to be active in, so a couple of years ago we opted for the English congregation.

Our new church has a big yard and a few extra rooms where I can entertain the kids. Oh, how I long for SS or a nursery! This works for us, except that I never get to attend church because as soon as the singing is finished, I take the kids out because they are very, very loud.

So I think we have found a good solution. We'l'l all go in the morning, and then Joel will stay home with the kids while I go to the evening service that is in the local language. {Our church has 3 services: 2 morning services, one in English and one in Chinese, and the evening service is in the local language} The evening congregation is like 85% women, so I think it will be a great place to make friends. :) Plus it means a couple of hours out of the house for me each week!

Ok, the little one is asleep,, and I am going to trust the big one NOT to wake him up if I leave and head to bed. Have a happy day!
