What I did this weekend: The highlight of the weekend was Saturday night’s trip to Fayettenam, watching the Pens game at Buffalo Wild Wings. We never get someone to watch all three kids, so it was very special. Today is Mother’s Day, so I tried to make Nikki happy and realize how important she is to our family and to my sanity.

How I’m feeling right now (physically): Sleepy.

How I’m feeling right now (emotionally): A bit down, but good – all things considered.

How I’m feeling right now (spiritually): Impatient – I feel like I need answers right now.

To Do this week: One week from tonight is the final youth meeting of the school year, so I’ll be finishing up programming for that. Also, our children’s play is this week and I’m directing/playing the music/just about everything else, so that’s going to take a lot of prep and planning.

Book I’m in the midst of: I’ve been puttering along in a few different books, namely “The Best Question Ever” (which I’ve read before, but I’m doing a study on it, so I need a refresher) by Andy Stanley, and I’m also reading excerpts from some of the works of Deitreich Bonhoffer.

Music I’m currently listening to: The Classic Crime – The Silver Cord. I can’t get enough.

What I’m dreading this week: The stress involved with the children’s play.

What I’m really excited about this week: The season finales of The Office and Hell’s Kitchen (on the same night, at the same time), the continuation of NHL playoff hockey, and thus my beard growth. Also, I’m looking forward to getting a replacement debit card in the mail so I can stop using Nikki’s – another story entirely.
