I think I'm almost over it!!!

I think I'm almost over it! If you are wonder what "it" is then you obviously haven't been around me in the past week. My Winterfest travelers know what I am talking about and poor Carrie and Tommy do to. I have had some kind of chest congestion crap that I can't seem to shake. The coughing has been the most nerve-racking part. I just can't seem to cough hard enough to get rid of this stuff. Anyway, I'm feeling better so maybe I'm almost over it.

This past weekend my friends Debra, Lauren, Cecil, Justin and I went to Winterfest in Gatlinburg, TN. It is a Church of Christ convention for teens. Our church has always gone in the past but this year the elders decided against it, but the five of us didn't let that stop us from a cherished tradition. We had a blast! The theme this year was "The Prize" The prize being heaven of course. The question at the end of the weekend was "What's your purpose?" So I ask each of you.....What is your purpose?

This coming weekend our church is participating in Bible Bowl. The teens, junior high, and elementary students have been working really hard and studying almost every Sunday afternoon in order to prepare. I am really excited and I hope that they all do well!!

Well, say a prayer for our Bible Bowl team!

Mondays......BLAH!

My Monday did not start off very good. This morning I woke up and discovered that I had no hot water. We had plenty of cold water - ice cold as a matter of fact, but there was no hot water which is what I desperately wanted. I needed a shower this morning. Skipping it was not an option so I had to through my stuff in a bag and rush to my dad's house. Well starting your morning off with an 11 year old who is extremely cranky and yelling and throwing a fit like she is 2 is not a pleasant thing. I wanted to strangle her for the way she was behaving and it was all because my step-mom wouldn't make her any waffles. Well, in my step-mom's defense she didn't have time to make any waffles. Whitney (my sister) was already running behind on getting ready for school and waiting around for waffles was not in the schedule. UGH!!! She really can be a brat sometimes.
Then last night I discovered one of my tires was low. I had air put in it but this morning I was worried that it would go flat due to a leak or something. So the entire time I'm in my car I'm thinking....what will I do if I get a flat? I'm a girl....I know nothing about cars. I know, I know, I know some girls do, but not this one. My dad has tried to teach me but it just hasn't sunk in. I check my oil and thats about it. Anyway, I got it taken care of this afternoon. I took an hour lunch and took it to a place here in Mayfield. It cost $10 to fix it. Apparently it was leaking around the wheel so they sealed it up. However, the guy said keep an eye on it, which makes me nervous that it is going to go flat while I'm driving. I don't like having to worry about my car.
Then, just to make today more like a Monday, we have been swamped at work. This morning from 8-11 the phone did not stop ringing. I am not exagerrating. Seriously, as soon as I would set the stupid thing down it would ring again. I was about ready to scream, through something or just pull my hair out. After lunch it hasn't rang as much which is nice. The worst part about it ringing non-stop this morning was that I had a huge stack of files to prepare and put away and just as soon as I got one organized and ready to put together the phone would ring and get me distracted. But anyway, that just life. If its not hectic then it is extremely boring.

Hopefully Tuesday will be better!
