one of my biggest flaws

Why am I so incapable of keeping things clean?? Really...I don't understand.
This is Heather and I's bedroom/Kid's club supply room/team meeting room/office.I hate it. It is a disaster and there are no windows and no ventilation.

Coming Home

I am leaving to come home in 12 days. That is crazy! I can't believe how fast this summer has gone and I know this last week will fly by as well. I've starting to think about coming home. Not about leaving here...that is too hard to think about just yet...but I have been excited about returning home!

Here are some things I've been contemplating:

What I will do when I get home:
1. Sleep in a bed
2. eat healthy food
3. get margaritas with Emily
4. go to starbucks with sara
5. watch a movie
6. sleep in....past 8am
7. have windows in my room
8. have a closet
9. sit on the patio with a cup of tea and a pointlessly entertaining novel
10. talk on my cell phone
11. go to target
12. hang out with the fam
13. check facebook
14. go to church...it's been 7 weeks!
15. walk around barefoot

What I will not do when I get home:
1. have meetings
2. go to sam's club
3. use a calling card
4. go to bed at midnight or later
5. get up at 6:30 or earlier
6. sing in front of people
7. get people's attention by screaming "holla back"
8. wear the same t-shirt every day
9. keep reciepts
10. constanly remind people to wear seatbelts, lock doors, pick up after themselves, and go to bed
11. paint...anything
12. give piggyback rides
13. fight with a scanner
14. do paperwork
15. check my voicemail every 4 hours

some random thoughts

1.
One of our adult leaders is calling me "Molly Mom" this week. I feel like this is kind of fits. I think I wrote about this a little bit at the beginning of the summer...but it continues to make me laugh. Especially in light of the fact that a few years ago I wasn't even sure I wanted to have kids....to set the record straight : I do. But I guess I'm more of the "mom".."take care of people" type than I ever realized before.

2. When did I become such a klutz? I fell down at glacier. When I fell: I broke my camera, and severly bruised my shin and my ankle. They are both turning purple now and still hurt quite a bit. I also stabbed myself with a plastic fork yesterday...who does that?

3. I'm ready to go home. I love it here...a lot! But I'm worn out and I need some time off to hang out with friends and family, sleep in my bed, and not be on the job 24/7.

4. I really don't like paperwork. and there is a lot of it to do right now. too much.
5. I really need to go do my paperwork now.

It was a wonderful weekend full of adventure and relaxation!

More pictures and stories to come.

So Tired

I'm so tired.

More than not getting enough sleep...the wear and tear of working 18 hour days with 1 day a week off for 8 weeks is catching up to me. I want to sleep and sleep and sleep.

I could barely get out of bed this morning...and I'm not the only one. We had to send Dillon to wake Ranger up, and if you had given me a few more minutes, someone would have had to come get me too. I knew what time it was and I knew I needed to get up but I could not physically pull myself out of bed.

This weekend we are going to West Glaceier National Park to stay in a cabin, go whitewater rafting, and drive "going to the sun" road. It is going to be a glorious weekend...and one of the best parts is that tonight I get to sleep in a real bed.

A real bed with real sheets, a mattress, and glory!!!!!

Be excited to see pictures when we get back!

yum

Praising God for veggie and hummus wraps instead of taco tuesday dinner!
