- Building a bridge -

I am trying to build a bridge. What I mean by this is going from being so busy to getting an unexpected interuption. The other week in class my teacher told me he had only knew me a few weeks, but could tell that I was a type A personality. That I didn't handle interuptins well and that caused me a lot of stress. He is right. They cause me a lot of stress when I am already stressed. So, he told me to learn to build a bridge between the two by telling myself that it would be okay and not to get stressed. Eaiser said than done, right? Well, I have had two interuptions. First, my dad showed up unexpected for lunch. He is having computer trouble and broght his computer to get it fixed at best buy. The next interuption was Ashley calling saying "are you going to be at the house for a couple more hours; can you watch the baby for me?" I was in the middle studing and had anyone ever tried to study with a four year old. I haven't found a way to do it yet. Any ideas? Right now, I am sitting on Ashley's bed watching Thomas the train with a whinny four year old. So, I this is my plan. I want to him settled by 8 or 8:30., give him a bath, turn on a movie, get him to sleep, than go back to my studying. I am not really sure if it will happen this way. On most weeks I wouldn't mind the interuptions, but this week is my exam week and I just don't have the time to spare. Is there anyone out there that understand where I am coming from. I do feel guily because I love to spend time with Landon. I love to watch movies with him......I just wish I could be fouced on him and not what I need to be getting finished instead of watching a movie. Oh-well. That is life I suppose.
We had a nice Easter. Brother Anders had a wonderful message about the stages of suffering that Christ suffered for us. Then after that I went to Linda and Michele for lunch. It was Linda, Jerry (Linda's husband), Michele, Keith (Michele sweetie), and me (i didn't have a sweetie *sigh*). The lunch was fantistic. We had baked chicken, mashed potatoes (one of my favs), green beans (my all time favs), slaw, mac. salad, pickled eggs (love some pickled eggs), rolls. Then for dessert we had carrot cake and bannanna pudding. I had bannanna pudding after I picked out all the bannannas. Then after that Amy came over and we watch Pure County with George Strait, my all time favorite movie then we watch The moving of Sophia Miles. I cried. during both. Then we went back to church and had communion and feet washing. For those of you who know how I feel about feet.....I got out of feet washing. I was getting a baby to sleep. I know it was a sorry excuse, but it worked!! *hee hee*
Has anyone seen the Cholette's Webb movie........well, we watched it Saturday night. Let meme clarify the we part. It was Michele, Keith, Tim, Sister Cindy, and Brother Anders. Well, it ended up with everyone laughing at me and giving me a hard time because I cried during the movie. So, needless to say......I have been brunk of the jokes. Okay... so I cried during movies. So what. At least I don't get mad with all the picking, but I will at some point get even. Well, I guess I have rambled enough. Later.

LOL! sorry that we picked on you but it's nice to be able to do it to someone else instead of having it done me all the time. :) Sorry you were so busy tonight and sorry I missed your call, my phone was in my room as always :) Anyways, I hope that your week goes better than today. Love ya!
I cry with movies too. We are tender-hearted which is a good thing. God can help you build that bridge. We can do all we know to do and then leave it in the Hands of God. I am so glad you had a nice time Easter Sunday. I did as well. It was cool having young people over. I love you!
I know how you feel. I cry over movies, sitcoms & commercials like that christmas coffee commercial where the son named Peter comes home christmas morning. Anything that has a tender moment. My whole family will turn around and look at me and point and laugh 'cause "momma's crying"!
Amy....It is okay. I figured that your phone was upstairs and it wasn't important enough for me to call the house.
Michele....I had a wonderful Easter. I loved spending time with you all.
Tammy....At least there is someone out there that cries at everything too. I wouldn't have been as apt to cry if I had not been under so much stress. Crying is a by product of my stress. But..I cry any way it was just more. I mean we are talking that tears where uncontrol streaming down my face.
I suffer at the hands of my family like Sister Tammy. They can always count on me to cry at something.
As for the stress...learn to say, "NO!" and not feel guilty about saying it. Remember, we set ourselves up so that everyone believes that we are superwoman and then when we can't do everything, they still expect us to and we still try to do it and then wonder why we are so stressed and our health has gone to pot. I've turned in my cape, maybe you should think about turning your's in too.
Amen! Sis. Tammi, is there a donation place for SW capes? I turned down planning Easter (I did Christmas play and State Ladies Day!) & the new couple who stepped in did an EXCELLENT job. I've also turned down Mother's or Father's Day planning and two other usually shy & quiet church members are sooooooo excited (although nervous) about being asked to plan those days. They'll do a wonderful job. I'm soooooo glad God is bringing/calling other people to work in the church. Whew!
Jessica, I understand about that stress. When I'm stressed, I do like to watch a good "crybaby" movie and then a good side splitting comedy. Crying & laughter helps relieve the stress! We'll be praying for you.
I also laugh hysterically at the weirdest TV moments that no one else finds funny. All my kids have to do is mention the scene in the "Aladdin: King of Thieves" cartoon movie where the parrot gets his tail feathers caught in the cave door slamming shut. He has his wings covering his eyes and asks "how bad is it!" and I will roll all over the floor and can't quit laughing. The kids think I'm absolutely crazy, but it reminds me when I got shot in the back with a BB gun as a kid and I thought I was dying. (imagine: dramatically, dragging myself to the door, screaming for my momma!) My mom had to show me the little red bump on my back in the mirror before I believed I wasn't bleeding to death. But she accidently used the magnifying side of the mirror at first, so the little red bump looked HUGE!...and then she flipped the mirror over....:) I know how the parrot felt. Gotta go quit laughing now...I just can't help myself!!!!!!!!!!!
Hey Girl!!!
I love you soooo much!!!
I have SOOOO much to tell you!!!
