Blogging Block…
I have suffered from major blogging block lately. I don’t know if it is motivation or just lack of time! But, here goes…this is what has happened so far in March.
A friend of mine called on the afternoon of March 1st. I know her from church camp and we became great, true, life long friends. She was in my wedding. She lives in Tulsa, but you would think she lived halfway across the world. You would think with technology and the short drive between us, we would see each other more. Or at least talk more. Or at least post on each other’s walls or something. When I saw her calling I was so glad to see her number on our phone. But, I didn’t reach it in time and she hung up without leaving a message. My cell phone rang and I quickly answered. What I heard in her voice was a little panic and a little relief as she said, ‘Stephanie…is everything OK?’. Through our conversation she told me that she had been sent an email from a fellow camper expressing his sadness for my death and his sadness for Melissa losing such a great friend. Of course she was panicked! It was a HUGE misunderstanding and I don’t think the rumor of my death spread far. Although, he was searching for a specific picture to send in a note to my parents!!! Anyway…all that to say that while we were talking and she was conveying her thankfulness for my life I had to quickly cut her off. Blake had gone into the bathroom and shut the door behind her. No big deal except that the door was locked and she had turned on the hot, bathtub water. I eventually got the door open without having to kick it down. I could see under the door and I knew she was right by the sink, away from the tub. Still a heart pounding moment. I called Melissa back, we continued catching up until I had to again let her go because Zeke had found a fishing pole in Jamie’s office. He was running through the house and had Blake, train tracks and other stuff tangled in the line. No wonder I am tired at the end of the day!
We celebrated both Papa and MeMe’s birthdays this week. For Papa’s birthday we went to dinner and then came back to our house for mocha brownies, gifts and the birthday dance. The birthday dance is a pretty big deal in the first grade and Max is making us all participate. I have pictures. We celebrated MeMe’s birthday last night. Again, we did the birthday dance, opened gifts and had peanut butter cup cake…yummy!
Max participated in Jump Rope for Heart in February and we found out that he raised the 2nd highest amount for the first grade class. We are very proud of him and thankful for all of you who helped him achieve that honor!
We are just days away from Spring Break. We have no major plans excpet to catch up with a few friends we haven’t seen in awhile and hopefully enjoy some spring like weather. Zeke has his OT evaluation tomorrow. We are ready to have that done and find out what we can do to help him adjust to certain situations a little better!
I promise to blog a little more frequently and I should have February and March pictures uploaded VERY soon!
