Whirlwind Wednesday

I'm still trying to catch my breath from today. I knew today was going to be crazy, but I had no idea just how crazy it would be. Today was the first day of Awana's. My mom took my two nieces and I had Maddy. We had no idea where to go or what to do, so we decided to stick together to figure it out. The lines were so long, which is good, but Maddy quickly lost her patience. Maddy refused to go at first. She was kicking and saying no and mommy and was just so mad. Thank goodness for this angel who came in and rescued us. She walked right up to Maddy and held her hands out and said, "Do you want to go make a castle with me?" Maddy quit her fit and just listened. She asked one more time and Maddy let her take her and off they went. I seriously wanted to hug her!!! I had every intention of snapping some pictures of the experience, but people were scattered everywhere and you add Maddy's fit and there was just no way for that to happen. I decided to take a picture of her bag and art she did.

When I went back for her she wasn't pitching a fit so I was thankful for that. I think once she gets in the routine of going she will do a lot better. She struggles with change and I think she was pretty tired as well because she went straight to sleep once she crawled into bed. This was a big night for Maddy and my nieces and I'm so very proud of all of them. My nieces were very nervous about going because they don't know anybody, but they both seemed to like it. This wasn't just a big night for the kids...it was a big night for me as well. I tried out orchestra tonight. I only got to play one song because Awana sign ups took forever. I used to play in the church orchestra a long time ago, but it's just so different Fafter being gone for six years. Everybody was nice, but my music reading abilities aren't as sharp and neither is my playing. When I was in the orchestra last time, I was in high school and had band and had a lot of opportunities to better my playing/music skills...I don't have that anymore. I'm hoping it will come back to me after I play for a while, but it's a bit frustrating in the mean time. It's going to be hard on Wednesday's because I still have to get my time in at work and church cuts into my time. I've been praying for a new job...one that will allow me to participate in church without stressing out over my time and production. Before tonight I just knew the Lord would give me a new job, but I'm really not so sure that is going to happen now lol. I won't be playing this Sunday morning, but maybe in a couple of Sunday's I'll manage to get my nerve up.

I tried another pinterest recipe today...chicken parmesan bake

It was super easy to prepare and only took 35 minutes in the oven. I was surprised that Maddy actually ate it. I cut hers up and put it on a plate for her to eat on the way to church.

People at church who knew me before could not believe I had a child of my own. It's amazing how many times I get stopped with Maddy. Everybody comments on her blonde hair and tell me she looks like a doll or tell me she is beautiful. I of coarse happen to agree with all the nice comments, but it's nice to hear other people agree :)

Next week is the final episode of the original teen mom girls and I'm a little sad to be honest. I'm probably going to do a post on this soon. I feel like I've bonded with these girls because when their 16&pregnant show aired I was pregnant with Maddy and I wanted to see how they handled birth and being a mom. Maci lives in my town and hers was the first one I watched...I was hooked from then on.

I'm kind of glad today is over with...now if I can escape the next two days without getting royally in trouble at work I will have made it lol. I hope you all are having a great week!!! Happy hump day!
