It's been a good week - although "one of those" as well. I think this picture best illustrates my life (our life) in one photographic image.
A great blessing has been that I've had a lot of Shrimp and Grits orders lately - but I'm happy to say that they are all finished, so bring on more. The blessing in that is I've made enough to be able to afford Christmas. I say that jokingly, but the reality of a ministry job (although definitely my calling) has set in and it's tight... which I know that it's tight for everyone, right? Anyway, I've been sewing A LOT... but not without drama. Monday, as I was sewing (and holding Anne Bailey), I managed to run my hand under the needle of my machine while it was going. A trip to the emergency room later and I walked out with a tetnus shot and a wicked bandage. No sutures but a lot to talk about. I learned that lesson.
I'm also working my regular job and a couple of others that I've picked up along the way. John's job has definitely not slowed down and while he did take the week off, he spent yesterday in the office - sigh.
The girls have spent a normal week so far, but are getting excited about the cousins coming tonight for the holiday. I'm also getting pumped about the annual shopping day on Friday and have been looking online to check prices, etc. so that we don't get caught up in the craziness and come home with 5 crock pots just because I think they are a good deal (I still have a couple of those actually).
Our good friend Brian did come over to take photos of the family Monday and that was a great time. I can't wait to get the pictures. Brian is so SOOOOO talented and I love his eye and the pictures he's shot before... if you are looking for a photographer, he is well WELL worth the money.
And then there's beer... I've found myself craving it this week. Problem? I think not. Gobble Gobble.
