BAGELFEST
The Crossover (my church) is passing out popsicles and doing face painting for free at Bagelfest! (Bagelfest is a festival put-on annually in Mattoon, IL.) We've done it in the past and it has been a lot of fun. This year I've been discouraged by the lack of interest (or what seemed to be) in participating. This morning I was presently surprised when 4 people showed up to help me setup the booth and decorate it! It was so nice to work together with some other people toward a common goal. So thanks to Jim Donnell, Robin Gardner, Nikki Greer, & Jami McCONNAHA for coming out! (Special thanks to Jordan Ridgley, my brother-in-law who came out and helped too!)

PERSPECTIVE
Ok, so I didn't go back and finish up the dishes. I decided to check out some blogs first. And I'm glad it did, because God whammed me upside the head (as He often lovingly does :) )
I checked out this http://www.urbanonramps.blogspot.com blog that my friend Brian had on his blog and my "perspective" was definitely changed. You'll have to go there and read the latest post to see what I mean, but I need to update my list...
IT'S THE LITTLE THINGS
Like, when your monitor on your computer goes out, you have an awesome friend who is willing to loan you another.
Like, when outlook express won't let you see your emails, you can be thankful that you use hotmail and can check your email anyway.
Like, when your children aren't getting along, it means they are in the house with you and healthy and ok.
Like, when you and your husband are just in a "blah" stage, it doesn't mean anything except that you're just both feeling "blah" and you'll get over it!
Like, when you have severe headaches because of weather changes, you know that it will eventually pass and there is nothing seriously wrong.
Like, when you have pop-up ads that drive you insane, it reminds you that you really shouldn't be surfing the web anyway, go play with your kids!
Like, when you let your dishes pile up and you have to wash them all by hand--be thankful that you have a house, with dishes, and had food to put on/in those dishes, and now you are healthy enough to wash those dishes!
Thanks for the perspective God!

IT'S THE LITTLE THINGS
Like, the monitor for your computer going out.
Like, Outlook Express not allowing you to view your emails.
Like, your children not getting along.
Like, you and your spouse, not fighting, but not really getting along either.
Like, having severe headaches because of the frequently changing weather.
Like, pop-up ads that take up your entire screen and you can do nothing to stop them.
Like, allowing your dishes to pile up and then having to face cleaning them all--by hand.
So I'm venting. Kill me. This week has been filled with the "little things". The little things which seem to set me off. I don't know what my deal is, but these little things get under my skin and cause me to want to explode. (maybe there really is some truth to that personality quiz..lol)
Anyway, I'll be fine. Really I will. Just had to get it off my chest. Now I'll go finish up those blessed dishes!
