Random Things

After having a long, but good weekend, I thought I would blog before working. If I start work first, I probably won't get to the blog.

Well, first, I have had a UTI and not felt very well. It came at a bad time because this weekend was my step team's last big performance and I refused to not be there. So, I took my meds and depended on Ms. Dixon to come pick me up for the event. Well, once we were there and in our seats, the event began. Now, I am not overly religious. OK, I'm not religious at all. But sometimes I just feel totally out of place and a little offended by it.
So, this dude gets up and the said, "If you love Jesus get on your feet." Well, I was the only person of 1000 sitting. Now, this was at a public university, not a church. So, there could have been anyone of any faith there. None the less, I just let that go until the prayer started and the preacher stated, "lord, we both know that many people here are gonna indulge when they leave here tonight. But you can be the tires and the steering wheel." Now, I agree that many of those college kids were already drunk. But really, you pray that God help the intoxicated people(which is a sin) who were going to risk all of our lives by driving(all kinda sins in driving drunk) get home safely. The whole thing just left a bad taste in my mouth.
However, I was surprised to learn that SB was coming to Montgomery to take care of me. This is super cool bc being sick is just one of those things we have to deal with when it comes to the other. I am that person who wants to be pitiful and wants to be taken care of. SB is that person who wants to be alone and not be bothered until she feels better. Thus, she doesn't love my need to take care of her and I don't love her not wanting to deal with sick me. So, I felt very special and loved when she decided to be up half of the night while I tossed and turned and whined.
Now, this afternoon I get 10th call from Natalie and Edie asking if I am coming home for Easter bc they are. It began with,
You need to come bc the whole family can be together.
Then it moved to,
You need to come see the kids. They miss you.
Finally, the truth arrives,
Edie needs a heathen partner to stay home from church with her.

Oh, one must love the family. Now to get on that work that needs to be done.
