We're Getting Back Into The Routine

Winter break for my kids ended earlier this week and they went back to school Wednesday.  They are already counting the days till Martin Luther King Day, their next day off.

Monday I watched the neighbors' kid so I planned a few things to do so he didn't end up watching TV or playing video games all day.  He and my daughter went with me to the library where I checked out two books on my "to-read" list:  Forgotten God by Francis Chan and Replay by Grimwood.  The librarian was very surprised that I hadn't used my card since 2007 (long story but my kids used to be uncontrollable monsters when they were younger so we never went anywhere).  We went to Burger King's drive-thru and got four chicken nuggets kids meals (one for me, LOL).  The employee at the window was super nice to me.  Then when we exited the parking lot, some nice person in a red car motioned for me to be let into traffic in front of them.  Very nice!

After we ate our meals at home, we went to the cheap movie theater and watched Hotel Transylvania.  My husband had taken the kids to see it when it first came out in October and he liked it so I thought it was going to be good.  I'm getting really tired of computer animated movies though.  The best line from the movie, I thought, was when Drac (the dad vampire) was walking through a costume festival humans were having, and a human dressed like a vampire was talking to him and kept saying, "Bleh-bleh!"  And Drac was all put out and insisted, "We never SAY that!"

So far this year I've been reading Chromosome 6 by Robin Cook.  I had read it many years ago when I lived in Orlando, and at Christmas I received a copy from my sister-in-law.  (I also have been reading the Chan book since I got it Monday.)  I signed up for another B90 (reading through the Bible in 90 days) which started on the 1st.  And my goal this year was to give away/throw away one thing every day, which I'm still sticking with and writing down each item so I have a record of them.

This afternoon the Rachel's Vineyard coordinators are having a get-together (potluck and praying).  It's for anyone who has been to a retreat, not just the participants of my second retreat like last month.  I'm looking forward to seeing everyone and being able to relax and be myself and not have to hide anything!
