It's been one week since my fabulous massage (generously provided by our good friend Stacie!) and I'm already hungry for another one! My lower back is tightening up again despite my stretching. Just one of the usual side affects of pregnancy. I ran into someone from Stacie's circle at the store, and now she is going to see the amazing LMT, John Combes (sp?). I think we need to start a club and name it "Hurt So Good"!

A heavy morning of "pastoral" stuff. Everyone just has those hard and complicated issues in their lives. It's hard to watch when they are your people and your friends who you love.

When I opened my office door this morning, I noticed a huge word scrawled across it "Hannnnnnnnahhh". I had taught Ann how to write Hannah's name when she made her a birthday card. Now I am finding it all over the place, this time smack dab on my office door with a marker. Boy, was she busted. She fessed up right away although the janitor thought Hannah had written her own name, (uh she's 2?!?) Ann's sentence: sanding it off next week, no matter how long it takes. Good thing her thumb is all healed up. ;)

We are taking the Youth Activites (Troops and Jr. Soldiers) to the Discovery Center, a local museum tonight. They are finishing up their Indian Folklore Badge and we have a tour arranged that will focus on the local indians, errr "native americans". There will be about 35 of us, including the littlest ones, Moonbeams, who can play in the children's section. Thank God, I have my voice back after losing it these past few days! I will need it to keep everyone contained!

In my crockpot tonight: cubed chicken breast, chopped broccoli, b rice mixed with 2 cans of broccoli/cheddar soup. Served with peaches on the side. Yum and ready to go!
