I am a freshman which means I am playing basketball and am about to crank up my first season. I am singing loudly in gym with Holly Sewell, "Mr Big Stuff" if i am hearing it right...I have pictures of Michael J Fox all over my butterfly bedroom (harvest gold and burnt orange with green shag carpet) I had begun my mix tape collection and recorded most of my music straight from the radio so i caught a lot of DJ talk. It was something I worked daily. I kept a daily journal and would write in it every night before bed. I would give myself advice for when I had kids someday. I should go look that thing up.

I have an 18th month old Gates who is so totally awesome and I am very pregnant with Spencer Grant (aka- Joseph Riley). I am actually sitting on the couch watching life pass me by. Little Spencer/ Riley tried to come early and I had to sit out the last 6 weeks of my pregnancy. I am feeling a bit powerless but my friends are awesome and would even come and worship with me. Gates is very independent but doesn't say much yet. He is fast and furious and I can't wait to be able to take care of my house again.

Sadie and Riley are now additions to the Killen Kids and life is going along day by day. Sadie is about 13 months old and i think she's beautiful and amazing. The boys are probably feverishly planning their Halloween costumes. I am working at Darby Drive part time officially as the Children's Minister. We are about to have our first Harvest Festival.

I have a 5th and 3rd grader and my baby is finishing up her last year in pre-school. I am working still and finally after 6 years as a CM the rhythm of it comes easier. I am getting used to the idea that my kids are getting big. I officially do not have a baby. We moved to the big city and are loving our house. The kids all have their own room. The additions are all complete and we are settled in well. I am attending a lot of functions at the McGee farm lately.

I packed three lunches and no one complained about the contents (amazing) and took all the kids to school. I dropped them off and went in in order to get a receipt for a donation from Heavenly Ham for Pumpkin Day. Then i went to said HH and got the $15 gift card, met up with a grandmother in whom i did not know and sent her on her way with the card then went straight to CPCC for a staff meeting which led me straight on to the rest of my day.

No lunch making because its chicken strip day Wednesday. Woo Hoo! Met up with Erin H and Krista for a lovely day of painting yellow. Had lunch with Cort and then back to painting, alone this time. I pick up the crazies at 2:50 and then we are back home for a moments peace before church tonight. Sat thru the latest Beth Moore video and was bonded with my lovely Christian lady friends with a very huge shoulder to shoulder prayer. Little awkward but big on purpose and felt hugely encouraged. And now I am here, decompressing a bit.

Tomorrow, Oct. 16, 2008

I plan on packing 3 lunches, cheese and bread i guess because i need to get groceries. I will be taking the kids to school again because i have to drop off my pumpkin day basket items. I then will be prancing off to said grocery store then back to paint with Amanda this time. We may have to just get rooms ready to paint and maybe have time to walk 5 miles. too much info? Then kids, karate and make supper and bedtime. I am tired just thinking about it.
