...what to say? Not much. Maybe a little venting?
Vent #1: We have a new calling. Still in the Primary, but we've been moved to the SENIOR Primary. Class time is fun with our four 8 year old girls. They love American Girl Dolls and so we clicked instantly. But Sharing Time...just not the same. I guess I can't really judge it based on one Sunday's experiences, but gone are the hilarious comments, gone are the inquisitive looks, gone are the outbursts, gone are the eager hands high in the air, gone are my little ones who drew me pictures. Gone gone gone. I'm a little depressed.
Don't get me wrong, Senior Primary IS a lot more reverent. But I think that's what I miss...the chaotically entertaining last hour of church. Oh well. I love our girls we teach already-- they are so quiet and sweet and attentive. But what I wouldn't give to hear a little 5 year old's prayer of, "And please bless that we will get everything we want for our birthdays." I could cry.
Vent #2: I'm done with the constant variety of pregnancy symptoms. I think I'd be happier to have just one symptom and work on dealing with it. But no... It's sharp hip pain one day, then nausea the next, then back pain another day, then a headache the next, then a cold for four months, then bloating the next..... Jiminey Christmas! It's so frustrating. And I'm only at the beginning of the second trimester. It worries me. Why can't I just speed up time and have the baby tomorrow? I'd love that. If only.
Vent #3: Why does every show on TV have to be raunchy in some way? Seriously. I could just stick to the Hallmark channel but it doesn't seem worth it. So I was all ready to cancel it when I see that "The Bachelor" season just started. Ugh. Talk about an ideal example of a raunchy show....but I like it. There I said it. I admit it. I like it a lot. I don't know why. I know I shouldn't. But its so gosh darn entertaining. But I felt the same way about "Glee" and kicked the habit this past season. And you know what? My life didn't end. I don't NEED to watch that show. I've been perfectly happy without it. So, I'm working up the nerve to throw cable out the window.
That's it. Nothing else.

Cristine, you are too funny! I totally get what you are saying about junior primary-- I loved their hilarious comments! But now I teach the 8 year olds as well. We should exchange stories and ideas! Hope you are doing well!
First of all, cute new background. Secondly, the pregnancy... it is so tough! Everyday there is something! I am sorry you aren't feeling well! I hope you feel better soon now that you are 4 months. Lastly, I 100% agree with the bad tv... some days I wish we didn't have it.. yet my DVR is full of shows.
Cristine, first of all, congratulations on the pregnancy!! Very exciting, but it's definitely a very hard thing to go through sometimes!! I swore that pregnancy could not possibly be worth it, but I was WAY wrong! Second, I totally agree with the TV thing (and I'm addicted to the Bachelor and Glee too). If it weren't for the sports (my husband, not me) we would get rid of cable in a heart beat!!
I'm still just ridiculously happy that you're having a baby. And I love that you are so funny...and I miss working with you and having funny stories.
I'm sorry you're having rotten pregnancy symptoms...That hip pain made me cry some days. bleck!
I have to say I'm SO glad I'm not the only one that had to walk away from Glee. I loved the music...but I can hear that on Pandora.
