disoriented

we have new carpet!! and it looks really nice. unfortunately it wasn't finished until 9 pm on monday. so we haven't had much time to get settled. and this morning i was feeling a bit anxious and i couldn't figure out why - well after thinking about it a bit i realized i was feeling disoriented because our home is totally unsettled. boxes are still everywhere - random stuff at every turn and now our bathroom is being torn-up by a repair man to fix some rotten wood. (i am thankful it is getting taken care of but just adds one more thing - so thankful for drew and bekah who let me use their shower this morning).

in many ways this feels like the longest transition ever. i am hoping by the end of this weekend life feels a bit more settled - because our home is more put together. when things are more in place i will post pictures. i am happy with the way it is coming together. and i am trying to remember to breathe and stand in the abundant peace of Christ.

one other thing - i don't know if anyone saw the biggest loser last night but i was pretty worked up by the end of it. i was only able to watch the last 45 minutes but... wow. after the show ended bekah and i processed the show for a few minutes(surprisingly tim didn't stay for the debriefing session) and even as i was trying to fall asleep tim asked, "are you still worked up about the biggest loser?" and i had to admit that i was. poor amy p. got kicked off. i wasn't surprised just frustrated by heba's decision. i know she made an alliance with brady and vickie - but this was her chance to eliminate brady - who does she think is going to go eventually... she is! i know, i know - it is just a show. but it gets under my skin how rude and bitter and unkind people can be. and i have to be honest - because of the things brady, vickie and heba say i don't like them very much. oh well. did anyone else get fired up about the biggest loser last night? let me know.

well you know i was worked up! love that i can watch the biggest loser with you and have someone to get fired up with me since drew doesn't care and obviously tim doesn't either. :) will be down later to see your ugly tile.

I hope things get settled for you soon. I feel exactly the same way when anything is messy around me (car, classroom, house, etc.). I just can't even think straight! Feel God's peace today my friend.

I had the same reaction when I watched the show!! Micah and I usually watch it together but he was at work so I didn't have anyone to share my dissapointment with. I'm with you about the rude, bitter and unkind people too!!!
