I've been pretty busy with the Jr. League with all of our provisional meetings, regular meetings, and special project meetings. Our provisional group chose to put on a Fall Festival for an organization called Friday Nite Friends. Friday Nite Friends is a really neat organization - they provide care for special needs children and their siblings twice a month so that their parents can enjoy a night together without worrying about their children. Anyways...we are going to put on a Fall Festival for the kids (games, food, prizes, the whole works). We are expecting to have nearly 60 kids - pretty exciting.
We went to the Plano Balloon Festival on Friday evening w/ Gigi, Granken, Uncle Michael and his girlfriend Emily (they were in town from OU). It was a lot of fun...Ash got a corny dog and loved looking at the balloons. Granken bought her a glow necklace that she absolutely LOVED! We started noticing some green guck coming from Ashley's eyes as we were leaving so we decided to go ahead and take her into AcuteKids (if you ever need a dr. at night or on the weekend....we definitely recommend this place). They are always super helpful and very QUICK....which is always a blessing w/ a sick child. The dr. said she had a double ear infection (again!!) and that it was really really really really bad - so bad that her poor little sinuses had filled up so high that it was causing the guck to come out her eyes...poor thing! So we got some antibiotics and eye drops and home we went. It's Wednesday now, and Ash still isn't feeling that well. I just pray that someday she will stop getting so sick all the time. It really is pitiful!
Last night I went to our class Women's Bible Study. We are studying Ephesians. I confessed to my small group last night that I hadn't had much time this week to do my study and that I had actually done it all the day of our meeting. I feel really convicted about this....I need to make time each day for this. Sometimes I let what is the most important thing slide in my life because I am so busy with everything else, Work, Ashley, Ashley being sick, Jr. League, Friends, Housework, Errands, Eric's side business, The Trendy Mommy, etc. So I am making a committment now to wake up earlier each morning and spend some time in the Word of God. Thanks to Sally for encouraging me last night :) She wakes up at 5 to get it all done - I'm going to shoot for 6:15.
