Random Thursday

Today I'm sitting here with my coffee and waiting for my baby girl to wake up. We are making our weekly trek to the grocery store this afternoon. I never knew how difficult grocery shopping would be with a baby! :) Last time she screeched and proceeded to scream and cry in very dramatic fashion when I wouldn't let her hold the grocery list. I should tell you that I did let her hold the list and only after she had eaten half of it and the rest was a big wad of wet that I threw it away. And that is where I went wrong apparently :) Oh well! Sometimes shopping with her is better than others. She can now sit up in the little child seat in the cart (which she loves) but it makes my job harder! I would much prefer leaving her in the carseat and putting the car seat in the food part of the buggy. But she gets bored VERY quickly :)

Tonight is our MOPS meeting (Mothers of Preschoolers). They meet at our church. And I just l.o.v.e. it!! Last month I was so stressed out that particular day, but I went anyway. I honestly can't describe to you how wonderful it is to have a circle of friends standing around you, as you describe the day you just had, that understand EXACTLY what you just went through that day. I didn't have to explain or give much back story to anything, because they just got it! Many of these ladies I know from Sunday School or church already and they are very dear to me. I can't wait to go back tonight!

We are also dog sitting for a couple of days. Our friends had a death in their family. It was their grandfather who has been ill for a while. He had Alzheimer's and had been mentally gone for a long time, but it is still hard when someone you love leaves this life. Please pray for their family as they are away and for all the family as they grieve.

And if I haven't been random enough today-- here is a little scripture for your Thursday!

"How great is the love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are!" 1 John 3:1a

Happy Thursday Everybody!
