Anyone else?

Or is it just me?
Anyone else have 127 items on their to do list?
Seriously.

I feel like I'll never get out from under it. It's crippling sometimes.

Anyone else?
Or is it just me?
Anyone else LOVING the weather today?
Seriously.

I love that winter is so over. I wore short sleeves, no jacket, all day.

Anyone else?
Or is it just me?
Anyone else thankful they get to drive their kids around?
Seriously.

I'm so glad I was able to drive Drew and Dani to Seymour again this afternoon. I might be a little bit sad that this was quite possibly the last time I'll get to do this EVER.

Anyone else?
Or is it just me?
Anyone else hate spending money on replacing their roof?
Seriously.

$15,000. New roof, flashing and gutters. Whoo Hoo. Next time someone comes over, I'm serving tea on the front lawn and we're all gonna look at that roof and exclaim how pretty it is.

Anyone el ... well, you get it. I've got a rythm going here. Bare with me. Bear with me? ('Bare' sounds like I'm asking you to get nekkid with me.) (But 'bear' sounds like I'm asking you to snuggle with me, like a teddy bear.)
Anyone else?
Or is it just me?
Anyone else looking forward to Easter?
Seriously.

Is Easter not one of the best weekends of the year? Nothing but good news. Great church services. Awesome songs. ("He lives. He lives. He lives within my hearrrrrrt.") Probably some turkey... definitely some chocolate.

Anyone else?
Or is it just me?
Anyone else making plans for November?
Seriously.

Drew might have a long weekend during my least favorite month of the year. I have to plan something. And I have to do it NOW. Then I don't have to worry about it. It'll be looked after.
Don't look at me that way. I am not a freakshow.


Three things I'm thankful for:
1. Tis the weekend and that's always a good thing. And this weekend is going to be excellent.
2. My sister's house is in a bin:


Because this machine was taking bites out of it:

There goes Zac's room:


and Mandi's room:


Good bye house.

3. I'm thankful for my house. My kids. My parents. My sibs. My friends. My job. And Cadbury Creme Eggs.

Shalom,

My to-do list is also ridiculously long. My life will get significantly less stressful, however, in about a week when I have no choice but to be finished everything to do with SFU. Whew.

Also loved the weather today. Got up and took the bus down the mountain at 7:50am and walked up the mountain with two friends then, in the afternoon, Brian decided that he needed some exercise too. So we walked down the mountain (the other side). SO today I've hiked up the east side of Burnaby mountain, traversed the north side, and hiked back down the west side. With some reading and napping in between. And it was just what I needed. Feeling ever so slightly less insane now.

Easter will be different this year but still looking forward to it... We'll be driving from Oregon to Vegas on the Sunday and spending the Monday IN Vegas. Still, there's got to be a church somewhere in Vegas that isn't just for weddings, right?

AND I haven't made any plans yet but I am thinking about November. About whether or not Brian will be in Ontario with me and about whether or not I'll be putting together PhD applications...

So... yes. Someone else is agreeing/thinking about/doing many of those things.
