Staying Disciplined
Wow, this is the most regularly I've blogged in about a year.
Not that I have anything in particular to post. Guess I'll write about our mission trip plans.
This year, our youth program will be taking a joint Middle School/ High School trip to Terrytown, LA to help with continued hurrican relief. It's gonna cost a TON so we have to do lots of fundraisers, or at least a few that raise a lot of money.
In addition to our youth and leaders, we are hoping to take about 8 other adults from the parish. Bryan is planning on going... guess we'll be hitting the grandparents up for some babysitting help. Do you realize that my kids, none of them, have ever stayed for a prolonged period of time at their grandparents? Isn't it normal for kids to "spend a week at grandma's" every now and then? How did I miss out on capitalizing on this? Well, I won't feel so guilty asking for help now I guess!
I've been enjoying the beautiful spring weather. And what perfect timing! The kids are on spring break so they're getting to spend a lot of time outside. We even bought some sunglasses today from the Dollar Tree. Speaking of the Dollar Tree, it looks like we will have another offspring working there. Maria will be going in for awhile this afternoon. Can't wait to go in while she's working and ask for price checks on various items like we used to do when Theresa was working there.
