Hello blog friends! It seems that at least once a week I talk to or hear of someone who reads my blog. It’s sort of weird to think about that since most of you do not post comments. Then again I read lots of blogs each day and rarely, rarely comment, so no hard feelings. But if you do read this, take a second and say hello! Then I’ll visit your blog (if you have one) and get to read your deep sentiments.

So my job status moved to full-time on May 1st, when I was in Malibu. It’s a beautiful thing to be on the beach for your first week of full-time work. I highly recommend it. Then I came back and babysat for the week for maybe the two sweetest girls I have ever met! They are 5 & 9, and their precious mom had to go to Houston to have surgery at MD Anderson. We had a fun week watching Arthur (the cartoon!), having picnics in the park, singing along to “Annie Get Your Gun” in the car at the top of our lungs, reading books & praying before bedtime, and having conversations one could only have with a 5-year-old who talks like an 8-year-old. As much as I loved hanging out with them and playing mommy for the week… it reminds me that babysitting is awesome birth control. I am not ready to be a mom yet. I’m not ready to get others ready for school or make big decisions, like what to have for dinner or what TV shows to let them watch. I’m not ready to teach them how to be kind, selfless, Godly, a peace-maker, disciplined, forgiving, patient… I still haven’t learned these things.

I was planning on writing about my job, but my fingers typed in another direction. More about the job next time...
