Johnson's Jingle: Last week....

I am confined to the front room of our house today, and probably for most of the week as the temperatures soar to new heights! Bring on the fall please. Anyhow I thought I could update you on this last week…

Monday I got together with a mom of one of my kindergarten students last year. She had a baby boy about a month after me. I got to her house and she had a starbucks latte waiting for me, what a treat! Anyhow we went on a walk with the boys and just talked about mommyhood. It was really relaxing and fun.

Tuesday, I went on two walks with friends and the biggest loser premiered…I was completely thrilled, there is something about that show that I absolutely love! I was trying to convince Scott to gain 400lbs with me so we could go on the show and loose it all. Haha, just kidding, but I would like to be on the show!

Wednesday I went to the first day of the ladies morning bible study at our church. I am really excited about it; we are studying 2 Peter and Jude. I don’t think I have ever even read Jude. I was a bit late though trying to get out the door by 9, I woke up at 6 made Scott’s lunch, worked out, took a shower, threw some clothes on the boy, fed the boy and headed out the door. So I dropped Liam off in the nursery and headed to the bible study. I scanned the room, saw my friend Brenda and even though I was late marched confidently up to the second row to sit by her. You can imagine my horror when I realized it wasn’t her. Oh well I went and sat in the middle of complete strangers feeling kind of dumb. My small group was hysterical…there were two older ladies who honestly cracked me up to no end. One was telling us how she loved to read “romance” novels and how recently she has been reading Christian romance novels. She said, “Those are better, in those ones they don’t strip off their clothes.” Ha! I thought I was going to fall on the floor laughing!

Thursday I got to stay home all day, it was really nice and I still took a shower and did my hair! (I was proud of myself!) I cleaned, went on a little walk on my own with Liam in the baby bjorn. I walked over to the pharmacy and picked up some eye drops our pediatrician prescribed for Liam’s goopy eye. It has been goopy for about 2 weeks but it is all cleared up now.

Thursday night high school group started again, Scott and I are both small group leaders. Anyways we walked around and watched high schoolers race on motorized toilets, fight in sumo suits, and spar one another….very entertaining.

Friday we hung out with friends, talked about pregnancies, birth, kids, etc…all kinds of new conversations.

Saturday we had some friends over for dinner that had a baby boy the week before us. We ate some burgers and played Clue…I haven’t played clue in AGES! Scott was hysterical. He was so sure he knew who the murderer was etc…he kept thinking people were lying about their cards. I really wish I knew what his strategy was. I think he was a little confused as to how to play the game.

Sunday was church; as I was dropping Liam off in the nursery I saw a sign saying they needed two workers. Scott and I decided to fill in, it was a fun morning holding babies, putting babies in swings, and chatting with the other nursery workers. Pastor Kent finished preaching on the book of Titus.

So that was our week in a nutshell, it was a fast and furious one. I am so thankful for Scott who works so hard everyday for us. He will be embarrassed but, he is the number one operating SSR in his group! Yay…if they decided to layoff hopefully someone else will be on the chopping block first. The Lord continues to prosper him at UPS and give him lots of ministry opportunities. Pray for him as he hears and sees very worldly things in San Francisco.

Today (Monday) I was talking with Liam as I ironed Scott’s clothes for the week (he was sitting in his Bumbo, see pictures). Anyways I was singing the days of the week to him and telling him that usually people don’t like Monday’s because they have to go back to work. But I was telling him how God ordained work and work is a good thing so we should like Mondays. I was really preaching to myself, because I didn’t want to iron. He cooed happily at me pretending like he understands….it is a lot of fun having a kid to chatter away at.
