Nae’s Heart

So on our day off on Monday, which I blogged about, James took me out to dinner at BJ’s.  I like their pizza but I like their pazookie more.  We enjoyed some delicious pizza and a three pazookie sampler with Triple Chocolate, White Chocolate Macadamia, and Cookies and Creme.  It was all so good and I was so full.  We headed home and watched some more olympics and then went to bed… I woke up around 3:30am not feeling well.

I had the 24 hour flu and it hit me at 3:30am… not the most wonderful time to get sick, but then is there ever a wonderful time to get sick?  Needless to say on Tuesday I stayed home from work and spent the day sleeping… Thankfully I survived the day with only a fever and some aches… I still had a fever that night so I stayed home on Wednesday also.

On Thursday I was back at work in the swing of things… I still had to turn in my passport application since I had been sick on Tuesday and Wednesday.  So on Thursday afternoon I ventured to the post office to get things turned in… When I arrived I realized I didn’t have a copy of my driver’s license and so I had to get copies made and get my passport photos taken.  Thankfully I got everything done and turned in and was back at the school to take my Jr High girls to their volleyball game… We lost by only a few points which I think is good considering we didn’t have any practice this week.

Today, Friday, I have had a fairly normal day.  I am subbing in 4th grade this afternoon, but they are doing seatwork so it is an easy class… I do have practice with my girls and I think James has a softball game, but it is the weekend so I am okay with a busier evening.

I have been watching a lot of the olympics… being sick the beginning part of the week helped with that.  On Wednesday, I watched the very interesting sport of Curling, Yes you read that right, Curling… It is actually quite nail biting.  You slide the rock to get it to curl just right into Home.  The closest Rock at the end of the End wins a point.

I have also enjoyed figure skating, snowboarding, hockey, skiing, speed skating, etc… I happen to enjoy pretty much any sport.  I am looking forward to the many events still to come.

I have a super busy week next week with a normal day Monday,  a “Women in Sport’s” Seminar on Tuesday with some of the high school girls, a Jr High volleyball game at home on Tuesday evening, Jr High girl’s volleyball pictures on Wednesday, Church, a Jr High volleyball game at home on Thursday, and I don’t know of any special plans for Friday night yet…

Hope you all have a great weekend and a good week!

So in honor of President’s Day James and  I have the day off of work… We took some time to relax and then went to Aliso Viejo Canyon and took a 5 mile walk.  It was beautiful and very relaxing.  After our beautiful walk we did a little grocery shopping and are now home watching the olympics… I love the olympics and will watch as much of them as I can… Tomorrow we do have work and I have to apply for my passport for the Ladies Retreat in April.

I am not sure if James has other plans for tonight… but I would be content with staying home and spending time together.

Hope you all had a great Valentine’s Day

Well yesterday was the Super Bowl and a very busy day for our youth group.  We do an activity every year called Main Event and this year was no different.  As we prepared for the big party we also took the time to pray for the visitors and the message that Matt would be giving.  We barbequed hotdogs, put out candy and chips, we got the stuff ready for nachos… and then the game started.  We had at least 100 teens… We went through a lot of food but the best part was all of the visitors heard a clear gospel message and were given the chance to speak with a youth worker… Yes the Saints won in a huge upset of a game, the kids ate so much candy and junk food that they probably went home sick, and I didn’t actually get to watch the game because of serving in the kitchen, but if the message made one teen think about their eternity it was all worth it…

Why the part about the sickness in the title, you may ask?  well yesterday I had a really plugged nose and today when I woke up it was a full on cold so I stayed home from work and have been sleeping all day… I have a lot going on the rest of the week and I can’t afford to be sick, but then I stop and realize that God is still in control and he know what is happening in my life.  I hope I feel better soon… I am going to go back to sleep now.  Hope you all have a good day!
