What Week?

I too am wondering where this week has gone. I sat down at my computer at one point to work on my Story Church stuff and then realized it was not longer Tuesday- but Thursday and I was two days behind schedule. I didn't even watch Doctor Who when it aired! I waited until Sunday night before I could see it! Crazy. I know.

I've been feeling lonely lately, as Cody and I don't see each other much these days. I work daytime, he works evenings, and by the time he gets home at 10pm or later, my constantly working, baby making body is ready for sleep (if not already sleeping). This has been shown in both my loss of days this week (seriously... what DID I do on Tuesday?) and my lack of writing (only ONE paragraph).

I feel like I'm back in my senior year of high school. Two schools, two jobs, helping on both Sundays and Wednesdays at church. Except now I'm older. I've got two jobs, kids church coordination (do I have enough teachers and handouts this week?), baby making me crazy hormones, doctor's appointments, a hubby I need to spend time with, and an outside situation that is the most stressful thing I've ever dealt with. And these are the things that won't go away. I can't ignore them because they're in my face. So what gets ignored? Time with God, writing time, time for myself (no, really. I've been skipping showers just to get more rest before work), and spending any type of quality time with people I'd like to become friends with.

Getting God time in should be easy. Seriously, how hard is it to pick up the Bible laying on the dresser next to me? How hard is it to put on some worship music and be filled in the morning? It's not hard at all. At all. And really, what is wrong with me? How can I make a kids program run smoothly if I'm not hanging out with God on my own? Don't get me wrong. I want to. But the urge to take a nap usually wins out. The sad part is, I'm spending probably the same amount of time with Cody as I am with God. And I KNOW I've been neglecting time with God. How the heck must Cody feel if he's not getting any time with me? His top two (tied) love languages are encouraging words and quality time. I haven't given God or Cody either in quite a while now.

And showers? Really? How gross is that? No. Don't tell me. My hair already does.

So no wonder I've been feeling lonely. No God or Cody time, much less hang out time with, well, anyone. This extreme extrovert is not ok with this scenario. And.... I see I officially have a downer of a post this week. If you require any upbeat midweek post from me, I am obligated to oblige, and it just might make me feel a bit better.

TTFN.
