I just walked in the door(after leaving at 7:50am).
Today was picture day at Ben's school...and I was the comb lady.
I also went to each class to get them, line them up tallest to shortest and escort them to the auditorium. I wiped some faces, tucked in shirts and tied all shoes. I also got on my knees and shook my keys, sang (as loud as i could) Jesus Loves Me and made crazy faces. The special needs classes are a little hard to keep their attention. So I was willing to do anything.
Actually...I started singing Jesus loves Me by myself...and about three kids and most of the adults joined in by the end. It was all that would get this one child's attention. She loved to sing that song...so we sang that song! And she smiled....so all was good.
The man taking the pictures took down my name and said I could get all Ben's pictures for free because of all my help.
Yipee!
That's a big deal...y'all know how expensive pictures can get.
I am so glad today is Wednesday. Every Wed. our church serves dinner before the classes begin. So no cooking for me.
Chris is super sick (both ends illness) so it will just be me and the boys tonight (Lauren has to work). I wonder if his feeling bad has anything to do with the soccer ball that was power kicked in his face last night. It hit his face so hard that his glasses and hat flew off his head. BAM! He got a little cut and a black eye. All us parents were like...OOOOOH...that had to hurt! And you would have been proud of me....I hardly even laughed.
My American Idol prediction for tonight is......Sanjaya. He wasn't good AT ALL last night and I think his charm has wore off. Can't wait to see if America agrees with me.

I'm enjoying "Jesus Loves Me" while I'm reading your blog. I wish I could have been at the school while you were singing it. That's really great that you were able to "let your little light shine" like that.
And you were rewarded with free pictures...God is GOOD!!!
Ben looks so handsome in his suit. I'll bet all of little girls thought so, too.
Oh yeah, I forgot to say I hope you feel better really soon, Chris. I mean right now "in Jesus' name" AMEN.
Ben looks positively dapper in his suit! I always loved school picture day. Well, maybe not when I was in high school. Then it was pretty uncool.
Chris ... I know you're feeling better already since I'm reading this after Karen prayed for you. I'm sorry you got injured and were sick.
I love Ben's picture. He DOES look handsome in that suit.
Teresa ... see God does reward His faithful servants. God bless you for all you do.
I almost chocked when I read "comb lady" something about it struck me funny. But it is a great idea. I hate getting pictures that look terrible because they never fixed the kid's hair or clothes.
Noone combed Jamie's wild hair - she told me they don't do that anymore. You just proved her wrong. I made her do the makeup pictures. Ben looks very handsome in his suit. Congrats on the free pictures - that is a big deal!
