What am I into today?

Well, it's 8:16am and I already got Mark and Austin out the door to go to a baptism.  It's Mark's cousins daughters baptism today!  Happy Baptism today Kylee!  I pray that God is always walking with you and that your parents and Godparents teach you His ways and show you His love always!!!

You may ask why I'm not going to the baptism?  Audrey has a runny nose and Cody is still congested.  Kylee's Grandpa is going through chemotherapy right now for cancer, and his immune system is compromised.  They asked that if anyone was sick to send their blessings from home.  So that is exactly what Audrey, Cody and I are doing. 

BUT... I don't think my kids are really 'sick' and they have a cold.  Like everyone else does these days.  But I don't want to pass on new germs to George, so instead we are going to my neighbor's baby shower today!  I'll be picking up my mom and we will go enjoy that party. I made a diaper cake for Angela yesterday.  It was my first try, and it's a little wonky, but I think it came out cute none the less. 

Is it bad that I'm secretly (and not so secretly now that I"m saying it here) hoping that they will play the purse game at the shower?  I'm really good at that game and it's no secret that I'm competitive in games and play to win! He he he. 

So, in between all that, I am still trying to figure out what to get Mark for his birthday.  I am now deciding between building him a fire pit for outside.  We've talked about it for a while and I found plans to make one for under $100 and it would take about an hour.  Or, get the new BBQ.  I'm thinking the fire pit because I can make it for him, and we can save up for the BBQ for a combo Mother's Day/Father's Day present for each other.  It really is for both of us.  The fire pit would be for both of us as well... but I think that he would really enjoy it.  And, we could enjoy the fire pit during the birthday party for him next weekend.

Lastly, I have to find a sub for me for lectoring at Church tonight.  I switched with someone, not realizing the baby shower goes until 5.  It's a little hard to get to church by 5:15 when I'm not home. Be that as it may, I will be emailing the lector coordinator and asking her to put me on the sub list for now.  I have too much going on and I have not gotten 'our' mass for 2 schedule cycles.  My kids need the consistency of the same Mass as well as my family.  I'm still busy with church with being a Eucharistic Minister, a catechist teaching the pre-baptism class, and I'm involved with Little Church now too.  I think that for now, that's enough.  For now.  :)

If you are active in your Church, what do you do?  Do you have a favorite ministry that you enjoy?

Happy Saturday everyone!
