This morning I was blessed enough to be awakened by Mr. Austin Wilson running down the hallway into my brother's room and yelling "WAKE UP MAN!" (Take note: it was 6:45 AM).
My dad is rebuilding the fence on the side of our house and we were all given the grand opportunity of helping him out (we did get paid...big plus).
After my heart stopped pounding out of fear that some crazy man was trying to kidnap my brother, I woke up (not very easily) and headed into the kitchen.
My mom (bless her soul) was making breakfast for all of us. Biscuits, sausage (Reid's sausage...only the best) and eggs.
As I was pulling the biscuits out of the oven, my hand just so happened to graze the celing of the oven...lovely. I definitely have a blister on my hand from the burn.
After stuffing ourselves for breakfast we headed out to the backyard.
We started pulling the fence apart (14-year old fence at that), and Chris and Austin started digging holes for new posts.
Thinking I was super cool because I had just managed to throw a piece of concrete into the trash can from 25 feet away, I started walking past my brother. Then, to my surprise, my left foot sunk about two feet into the ground into one of Chris' holes.
Austin's response: "haha that...was...awesome"
Chris' response: --I won't repeat it...it was too embarrassing--
10 o'clock finally rolled around and I went to get ready for work (Moonie's is a lifesaver).
I was already pretty tired when I got to work, and I was definitely not ready for what the day had in store.
It. Was. Craziness.
I pretty much felt like I was running around the whole day.
I finally got to go on my lunch break, but it was pretty late in the afternoon. Also, I had made a committment to not eat a Moonie's burger this week...I definitely blew that today.
I couldn't resist.
A nice big California burger with crispy fries just sounded SO good. There was no denying it.
After my lunch break things went pretty well.
It wasn't as crazy and for some reason Abe was EXTRA funny today and I probably lost 100 calories just from laughing.
My family and I went to the Good Friday service tonight. Barbara (pretty much my other mother) sang a lovely song and almost made me cry (it doesn't take much).
While Chris and I was driving home, I glanced up at the sky and the moon was GLOWING.
It's was so beautiful.
I can actually see it now through the window.
I'm completely amazed.
It was just another lovely day...
:)
