2nd day of my blogging life

Ok, so I'm thinking I will actually keep this blog going! This is only day 2 and I'm at it again. I guess it's because things are slow here at work because, wait for it.....we actually have Good Friday off!

I think I'll try to keep my posts to a minimum of once a week. I hardly ever stick with anything like this. However with Leahness being a bigger focus for me lately, I don't think it'll be tough to remember.

Tonight we are having a special service for Easter at our church called Tenebrae service. We have been at this church for a little over a year. Last year the service filled and prepared my heart for worshiping our Lord in praise of His death and resurrection. Click here to learn more: http://www.worshipandchurchmusic.com/tenebrae.html

I'm really excited and hope Leahness is quiet for it this evening. She will probably be tired since she has been attending a Yoga camp this week. I read a lot about her condition online and a lot of parents say it helps children with the anger that comes from having epilepsy. She LOVES it a lot! They went roller skating today, which is both scarey and exciting for me. I broke my arm at her age roller skating, so this mother hen is very unsettled today. She is a pretty open kid when it comes to trying new things. I'm a lucky mom in that she has always wanted to try new food and new experiences. She has become a social bug since starting school. She makes friends quite easily. However, keeping them it tough due to her "not suffering fools well" attitude. But kids generally flock to her; giving her hugs and pulling her to come play! When it was her and I at home together, the social opportunities I would try to create for her always backfired. She'd just cling to me and not want to play, or she'd end up scaring the other child(ren) with her big emotions.

I'm so looking forward to seeing my girl in her Easter getup this year. She picked out her own without any of my input and loves her dress. I've had to hide it so she won't sneak away and try it on. She will definately be one of those bride-to-be's who tries on her dress a thousand times before the actual wedding day. We are doing Easter eggs tomorrow, which has always been a little stressful for me because the stuff goes everywhere!!! But I try to keep reminding myself that these are the things memories are made of and I don't want her memories to be of mommy being OCD about the die and the glitter and the glue and googly eyes and the confetti and the.....take a deep breath......it will all be ok! She has fun and that does make me smile. Most years before this, I have stripped her down to undies so I can pick her up and plop her directly in the bath. However, at 6 years old, it's getting tougher to do so and take real good pictures.

Well, I guess that's it for now. Happy Easter everyone!
