- It was so great to have my family in town. I love them all! Brian loves them too, but I did realize that he really needs a son…when the 7 of us ladies were gathered around the kitchen table, and I looked over and saw Brian sitting on the couch - alone - watching basketball.
- Got a phone call Monday morning from Kevin, who was really sick and worried about losing his voice. How could I refuse a night singing with the Malta worship team? (and of course helping him save his voice for Sunday out of the goodness of my heart) It was awesome.
- My neices LOVE Posh…mostly because she is the only person under them on the family totem pole. All I hear when they’re together is “Posh, SIT!” “Posh, NO!” “Poshy, GET DOWN!” They cried when they left her. It was touching.
- Crazy morning today. We left the house with our gas tank already on Empty, but we were confident that we’d make it to church. Besides, we were low on time and had to choose between getting gas for the car or getting food for Colonie. Obviously we chose food. No worries, we made it.
- The Colonie Grand Opening was AWESOME. It was standing room only in the first service and the second was full as well. About a dozen people were added to God’s family in Colonie. And my nervous prayer was answered - that we would not have serious parking, traffic, overflow or fire code issues! God is definitely a God of details
for all the OCD people like me!
- After church we headed to the Crowne Plaza for brunch with, who else, the Easter Bunny! We hopped in the car, both got on our phones, and five minutes later I looked at Brian and yelled “we forgot to get gas!” Too late, we started running out at that exact moment.
- Running out of gas is the worst feeling ever. You wish you could go back in time 5 minutes and be less stupid.
- It’s surprising how far you can roll on an off ramp when you’re running on momentum alone. Brian has superb rolling skills.
- God has a funny way of making you stop dead in your tracks when you’re “busy”
- 5 years of marriage has gotten us a long way. A few years ago, some words might have been exchanged in that situation. Today? We were so exhausted and just didn’t care. I looked at him and said “I totally forgot.” He said “Me too.” We reclined our seats and took a nap and waited for AAA.
- AAA is awesome and way better than our Liberty Mutual Roadside assistance. They were there in 15 minutes.
- There was this awesome band with this dude who sounded just like Louis Armstrong. I ate breakfast, then lunch, then two desserts. I am still full.
- Laid down on the couch around 4. Got up around 8. A pretty awesome afternoon overall.
- I miss my family already.
- I’m jealous of anyone who has the day off tomorrow.

ha ha…you guys seem to have had your share of gasoline issues together. I got stranded yesterday too by being locked out of my car and apartment at the same time…
Kevin - That is good stuff. We definitely have stranded issues in general - whether it’s being out of gas, lost keys, whatever…God help our children when we travel with them.
I am cracking up! You really do have your issues with gasoline! It only makes your relationship stronger, when you can look back on these things and laugh. Did I tell you about pregnancy brain? It is like your belly gets bigger, and takes the function of your brain. I think that each baby takes half, so I have a quarter left!
I just remembered…I forgot to get gas today! Wonder if I will make it to the staff meeting in the morn. I probably will, but I will forget to get it on the way home!
