Good morning, Wednesday! Today I woke up at 5:45 (and also was up from 3:30 to 4). I have a terrible head cold so when I got up I felt like I wouldn't be able to stay up. As I made my husband's lunch though, I realized that I could breath better than I had been while in bed (obviously...). So I am up, have had my coffee and feel pretty good. I am happy with the way I've been spending my mornings. Yesterday morning (up at 5:45 too) I spent two hours planning a surprise date for Friday night. I am pretty stoked about it! Today I need to do some youth work for Sunday night and then I'm taking some girls from youth group shopping in Mission. Woohoo!!
I was going to post on here about a couple of very exciting things coming up in the Fraser Valley but then I realized that my followers are pretty much already in the know about them so I will just say one thing about it all: YAY!!!!!!!!!!
So incredibly excited!!!!
And I'm out.

Good Morning...every day
I have decided that I am going to become a morning person! My husband gets up for work between 4:30am and 6:30am 9depending on where he is working on any given day) and normally I get up with him, make him lunch, kiss him good-bye before promptly turning all the lights off and climbing back into bed. In fact, if my daughter wakes up before her daddy leaves I tell her it is still the middle of the night! (Which is not really a lie at all since we normally sleep til 9ish! So today I have been up since 6:30 and am feeling pretty good about it. Since, I'm still waiting for the girls to wake up, I am going to plan a craft for today and maybe start some housework. Starting housework before everyone is up sometimes wakes them up so I might leave it for later. Actually, looking around my apartment, it's not too bad today! Always a pleasant surprise, especially after a crazy weekend, which is pretty well every weekend!
Wishing all a happy morning! Good bless!

Not a Food Blog (Alternate title: Finding a Replacement)
So this is not a blog about food but I did make a delicious meal this evening. I boiled and mashed yams then added chopped red onion, margarine and corn. It was amazing!
Anyways, what I actually am blogging about is something I meant to write about last week but I have children and a life so I did not get around to it.
Finding A Replacement
My coffee maker died. Suddenly and unexpectedly. One morning I went for my coffee, stuck a K-cup in my Keurig brewer, pressed the 10 oz button. Nothing. Bleary-eyed, after a night up with my baby, I see that the brewer isn't on. Press power. Nothing. Check that it's plugged in. Yep. Press power again. You guessed it, nothing. I call my husband over, he plugs it into a different outlet. Still nothing. So across the street he goes. Gas station coffee. Not a great cup of coffee but I got my caffeine. Day 2 of no coffee maker: instant coffee. Why? My husband went to work and my eldest daughter was still sleeping. (Sidenote: I am slightly addicted to coffee. I get a headache if I don't have caffiene.)
We are now on week 2 of being brewer-less (due to the incredible ability my husband and I both have to procrastinate.) On Friday, I sent an email to Keurig. Monday they replied, saying we should call them. Tuesday my husband makes the call. The call was answered promptly and 5 minutes later they asked for our address so they could send us a new brewer (no charge!) Thank-you Keurig!
So, no more instant and no more gas station coffees for me. I have my old drip maker back (bought coffee for it finally yesterday) until my Keurig brewer gets here. Really, once you've switched to K-cups the alternatives just don't measure up! Well, maybe if I lived in a town with a Blenz or a Starbucks...

Back to the drawing board
Well, I'm going to see if I can get a blog going again! I haven't blogged in about 4 years. I remember the first time I heard about blogging. My friend explained it to me like this: "It's like your diary or journal. You post it online and everyone can read it!" I remember thinking, "Why in the world would I want to do that?!?! Isn't a diary a private thing?" So in line with my blogs label, this blog will not be an intimate information type of thing for me; just a slice of my life.
