The kids have succeded in their mission, now I'm sick!

So like a lot of girls I can't wait to be married and to have kids, well this week I have been getting a taste of what it's like. My roommate and two of our friends volunteered to watch these two kids while there parents are on vacation. Olivia is 2 1/2 and Duncan is 1 1/2. Let me just say that I have not even been doing this a week and I am worn out and dang tired! This morning Duncan decided to get up an hour earlier than usuall, so instead of 6:30 he got up at 5:40 in the morning! He is also starting to throw temper tantrums with anything that I do. Like change is diaper, put him in his car seat etc. Oh and did I mention they are sick. They keep passing a cold back and forth to one another, and now I am getting sick.Olivia has started to become very independant, she has to try and do everything herself, today she wanted to change her on diaper, which would have been fine but we were running late and I did not feel like cleaning up the mess that would create. Oh and her first responce to every thing that I ask her to do is NO! I don't know why but I feel like the 3 other girls have kind of abonded me on this adventure in babysitting and I can not wait for their parents to get back on Sunday. At church on Sunday everyone kept asking if I was ready to be a mom after this weekend, and I was like heck no! But now that I think about it when I do have kids I will  be married so there will be some one to help out with things, and I won't have a job on top of taking care of the kids, and I will love them a whole lot more than I love these two because they will be my own.
So tomorrow morning when I leave them at Daycare I don't go on duty again until Friday morning! I get to sleep in my own bed tomorrow night! Pray for me over the weekend, the weekends are hard with these two! Oh and more joyus news another one of my friends is getting married! My boss got engaged this weekend to his girlfriend Ana. I am excited for them, but my friend Obi and I spent the weekend kind living that Friends episode when Monica get's engaged  Pheobie and Rachel are like " I'm like 50% happy for them and 50% sad that it's not me.
So that's my life right now, probally won't hear from me until next Monday when I go back to my normal life!

I think that I am learning a lot right now and I think that the thing that I am learning the most is that it's not as hard as I think it is at times. Also I am learning that it is ok to say that you messed up and you have to start over again! 

I am putting together some bridge events for the college minsitry at my church. Let me know what you think about them and if they sound like something you would go to.
1. Salsa Night (Free Salsa Dancing Lessons/ Dancing all night)
2. Dodge ball tournament
3. Coffee House/Open Mic night
4. Campus Cookout
5. Some kind of partenrship with another campus org to do something for Christmas, I need some help with that one.
So let me know what you think and if you have any suggestions.

I'm not sure if you have heard me complain about the printer at my office, but it sucked. It was the most tempromental thing. I have had many a late night because of that thing not wanting to print the thing that I needed printed. So after it finally died our Adminstrative Pastor started to look for a new printer. On Monday our beautiful new printer arrived! It does color /black and white, double sided copies, punches holes, staples, saddle stich (what ever that is) and it's in our office. I no longer have to spend hours at Kinko's dealing with the mean people there who have no idea what coustomer service is. I am so excited, I printed inserts for our program yesterday and never had to leave m,y desk! It's amazing!

For those of you not in NYC, it's been raining here for 8 days straight. Not just a little rain every few days but dumping rain every day since last Friday. For 5 minutes today I saw the sun and it was beautiful. I rolled down my car window just so I could see it better. It was breaking through the clouds with all of it's might but it was not strong enough, it went back behind the clouds and then it started to rain harder. I heard on Regis and Kelly today that if this had been snow we would have gotten 96 inches of snow! Thank the LORD it was not snow! The rain should stop tomorrow, Praise God!

I don't know if any body is with on this one but I am so sick of this rain! I know that we need the rain but I could we get a little sun!
