Another Super Sunday.....and I'm almost glad that I'll be gone next week! I know, that's bad. I am so far out of my zone in Children's Worship Training and the cradle roll class. The helpers today in the class had more experience that my age. And in CWT, the kids just look at me. Sigh. As someone pointed out, I'll never meet anyone in children's classes and in women's classes.

But it's been nice to hear in the past week:
  • at least two people are praying for my future and future husband maybe
  • that I'm doing a good job from several bosses

I guess I haven't really missed being in "big church" since Noel's talking about "happily ever after" - a series on marriage. Yeah, you know there aren't any fairy tales or happy endings for the singles. :-) I guess I just get tired of always listening to couples, marriage, children topics. I know, I know - I'll probably need to know that stuff sometime. Maybe. I'm starting to wonder. Yes, I do hear that biological clock - no need to point it out thank you very much. No need to pout about being an older mom when you're younger than me. No need to point out that you waited so long for your husband when you're younger than me. Let me tell you all about waking up to a cold & lonely house, coming home to a cold & lonely house, eating alone, going to sleep in a cold & lonely bed. (no, I don't want to spend a fortune heating my house this winter, so it is literally cold, but also figuratively cold.) Just for the record, I do like hearing about your families - I don't want to think that I get sick of hearing the latest tricks the kids are doing or anything! I have actually learned a lot just by listening to people at supper club. And I realize that I'm the odd man out in most situations. Just a little disclaimer!

I am looking forward to going back to Mississippi for Thanksgiving this week. Mom is coming here and we'll leave Wednesday morning, after stopping by the Key Lime Cottage for some yummies to take! We'll share Thanksgiving with the Eyrichs and friends, then shop the day after Christmas! Mom & I will head home Sunday after church, but we probably won't make it back to Searcy until Monday. Mom's still getting her strength back and we'll both be tired from the holiday. I'm looking forward to spending time with Elissa and her family. Hanging out with my best friend is always fun. Luckily, I always feel at home with Lis and her family. I'll miss seeing the Tuckers, but they will be here the next week-end. Yeah!!!
