Chocolate Bunnies and Such...

It's a little after midnight, and I'm wide awake, after sleeping for a couple of hours. Eating an entire chocolate bunny.

And my, oh my - is it good.

They told me night shift would do this to me. I'd wake up to what is our "normal dinner time," around 1 am, and be so hungry. Well, it's true and the box with no chocolate bunny is the only evidence.

I figured since I am awake I might as well catch up on my writing about "life." Which is going so well right now. I love my new job, working 3 nights a week, bedside nursing on an oncology unit. It's where my heart belongs. It also gives me so much more time with Sean and the girls, and just time to run errands.
 
Today, Sean and I got the chance to enjoy the Masters. Obviously, to those not from Augusta, you may not appreciate the tradition, but we had a wonderful time sitting on the 16th hole, watching the golfers come through. I do appreciate golf, however, I may actually appreciate people watching a little more.

And who doesn't love the Pro Shop? (We went three times! Yikes!)

It was such a good day.

Tomorrow we plan on taking a trip to the park, after we work on the back yard a little bit.

We are trying to sell our house, so we are completely redoing our entire back yard to make our home  a little more appealing. The more we do to it, though, the more I love it and might not want to sell it. It's just become so "homey." But with me working at a hospital downtown, and starting school in the fall, and with Sean moving back to Burke County, a move is a must. We just live too far away from everything.

I think right now I'm basking in the richness that God has given us. No, not monetary richness, but a happy family making happy memories. Life is so good.

Last week, my oldest little was sick with pneumonia, an ear infection and a stomach virus. She was pitiful, and needed three Rocephin shots to get better (she finally doesn't have a cough for the first time this season, praise God!!). And, in the midst of all that sickness, someone mentioned that "I must be making her sick, for attention." Really? I'm still wondering how you give a child pneumonia. And this person also said "I am going to use your blog against you," or something to that effect.

This blog will not come down. I will not delete entries in fear of retribution, because I believe that God helps us help others by stepping out and being truthful. Yes, I do suffer from panic and anxiety, and I believe that God gives me the Grace to handle it. I think - so far - I've done a wonderful job. You need to look no further than my beautiful daughters, who are growing up to know the Grace of God. They are wonderful girls, both with a deep love for Jesus and their families.

My eyes are getting heavy and I'm praying that the caffeine from that decadent chocolate bunny does not keep me awake. It's time to get back to bed, and maybe have a conversation with God. He is so good to me. (Can I say that again?)

Humbly His -
