Too Much to Choose From

There are so many topics I could write about today, I am having a hard time choosing. I figure I'll toss in a little bit of each. To start- I feel bad for Tony Romo. He made a big mistake on national television that "lost the game" for the Cowboys (it didn't really lose the game considering there were lots of events leading up to his mistake that contributed just as mightily). If that had happened to me I would probably never get over it. I tend to replay my failures over and over in my mind and continue to feel bad about them. It's a weakness, I know.
But on a brighter note, Cody and I enjoyed a sweet celebration Sunday morning as our Bible class hosted a brunch/shower for us and another couple. I really can't describe how awesome it feels to be surrounded by the kindness of a church family that would put together a fun time filled with food, decorations, and gifts to help us celebrate our new baby. A baby that I am suddenly anticipating with so much excitment I might burst. For so many months now I have hardly thought about the arrival of this baby (just because there are so many other things to think about). Now, though, it's on my mind almost constantly. I washed and folded some tiny little sleepers this weekend. I can't believe a newborn will be filling them in less than a month.
Which brings me to my third topic. Since having a third child will probably shake our world a little bit at first, I've been trying to hire a house cleaner. I just want someone for a few months. I would rather hire an individual than a maid service. Today I met with a woman here at our house, and the quote she gave me was ridiculous! It was so expensive that I could easily hire a professional service that is bonded and insured and still have money left over compared to what she wanted as her pay. Now I am feeling like just forgetting the whole thing.
And lastly, I want to share with all the tea-lovers out there this amazing brand and flavor of tea that Cody got me for Christmas. It's called Chai Spice Decaf and is made by Stash. It is delicious! I've been drinking it so much especially on cold mornings. It calls for a bit of sugar and milk, which really makes it dreamy. I might go make a cup right now!
