3/30/05

Today was my last day off after a week and a half off work. I enjoyed my time off but I never accomplish as much as I would like. We did get some things done around the house thanks to the motivation of having everyone over for Easter.

Yesterday Teresa stopped by LCC and found out that she missed the reading requirement on the placement test by one point (as did at least 15 other people) so she is going to retake it tomorrow as well as the math test. She is only 6 points away from College level math placement rather than high school level so hopes to improve that as well. These retakes are not timed and are less pressured so she should improve her scores. She mentioned in math that she learned a new concept the next monday that would have answered several questions on the test.

Yesterday I had a doctor's apt and today I had a dentist apt so I have been keeping Kaiser in business. I also went shopping with Mom for beads for the tablecloths and we found some. I them put on one table cloth and hope to get the other one done soon.

Teresa had E-Team practice and youth group. She was glad to get back to Youth group after missing a last week.

Chris has been working on getting the chords to some worship songs for home group. He has been leading worship at home group the last two times.

As this is my first posting in our blog I wanted it to be something really spectacular. However, I realized if I waited for that I would never write anything! So I will progress with the ordinary...

We enjoyed getting together yesterday and celebrating Resurrection Day. It was great seeing everyone and enjoying the good food brought by everyone. We missed you Linda!

Today is a lazy day for me. I spent the morning putting the house back in some semblance of order and mostly relaxed and read a good book. We got Laura off about 1:30. I tried taking a nap but all I could think about was posting on our blog! Times sure change. I really can’t believe myself sometimes.

Speaking of change I have been reflecting on change lately and have come to the conclusion I resist change far too much. I procrastinate making a change, fearing the unknown, yet after finally making the change I realized that usually the change was good and I liked the results (if not the process). I fear that what I end up with might not be as good as what I already have, even though I am not at all satisfied with what I have had. Looking at it like that makes me realize how silly that is. So from now on I will try not to be so fearful of change. (You may have to remind me of that).

Well that is enough philosophizing for now. I am off to pick up Teresa. Then it is dinner and home group tonight.
