Sometimes Ya Need a Pick Me Up
I just have to say that all of you Ohio people make me smile 
Your whole world is shut down due to this storm...most of your husbands didn't have to go to work...people are "stocking up" at the grocery store. I remember our last year at Cedarville there was a "Level 4" warning, meaning we would be ticketed if we went out on the roads...and that was with only about 5 inches of snow on the ground 
. We got 18 inches of snow the weekend before last, and while most churches and many businesses closed down, the world kept going. I know it is only because we are so used to getting tons of snow and ice and wind up here, but it still gives me a good chuckle
Ok, so back to the title at hand. Yesterday was a rather difficult day on a few levels. After dinner I had to go to the store and about two minutes into my shopping trip I was stopped by a nice man in a motorized wheel chair. He told me that I was very pretty and that my beauty seemed inward as much as outward. He said I shined. I found this so ironic since all of my make-up had been cried off (I would be surprised if I didn't have mascara streaks down my face) and my hair was haphazardly thrown in a half-up fashion. I certainly was anything but a pretty sight. Despite this fact, that nice man stopped me and gave me a compliment that brought a smile to my lips, and even my heart. I want to shine God's love (although I cannot say I was shining last night...in fact I was probably looking rather despondent and perplexed). I don't know what that dear man saw, but nonetheless, he brought a little encouragement my way and my steps were a little lighter as I made my way around the grocery store.
I am leaning towards Christian preschool, only one day a week. I have been thinking...Landon will be in school for the next 20 years; there really is no reason to put him in two years of preschool. It seems a waste of money, and more of selfish decision (ie...I want two afternoons a week with only one child) than a decision made in his best interest. He is a smart kid and there is nothing they will teach him next year that I cannot teach him here. I am thinking of doing the one day a week because I think he would enjoy the social interaction and the price is much more manageable. We haven't registered him yet so if anyone has any input...I am all ears. I can't wait until this decision is just made and I don't have to think about it anymore.
That is all I have. Enjoy your free days friends. Marketer...haven't heard from you, but out of everyone, I think you would cherish the snow day the most, and I hope you got at least one!
