YAY! I Have Blogger now! I joined so that anyone can post comments. This will be a great way for me to also keep in touch with people (Like Mindy, Chris & Baby Luke) when they leave. Oh, I am going to cry...better change the subject.

Today The K-State Wildcats play the Nebraska Cornhuskers. Our church has a concession stand to raise money for missions, and my hubbie and I are going to help out. It is one of the biggest games of the year, and we are shortstaffed. Should prove to be an interesting (and exhausting) game.

For magazine writing class, we were told to experience something for the first time and write a story about what happened. Some chose to ride with a policeman, others to ride with an EMT. I chose something more hands on! I spent the evening and entire night with my dear friends Chris & Mindy and 4 month old Baby Luke! He was tired and angry most of the evening due mainly to a lot more traveling than he is used to. So I got to hear my fair share of screaming!
But the funniest part is this:

For me to fully "experience" mothering a baby, I agreed to wake up in the middle of the night with Mindy, change his diaper, and let her feed him. I expected him to be awake around 3 or 4. At 2:57AM I heard this awful wail.I woke up, and as I did, it stopped. Oh dear, I thought. I missed him waking up! Better get outta bed and at least watch her feed him. So as I go to see Mindy, everyone is still in bed. I am still half asleep, so I say"Good Morning." in a whisper. Mindy then tells me sweetly that it was her cat crying, not the baby! LOL I was so embarrassed! How did I mistake it?
The paper is going to be so funny and educational. I was so excited for this opportunity. OH! And Baby Luke slept from 11:00pm-6:30am! Lucky me
OH! And maybe for Christmas I'll get a digital camera, so I can publish pictures! We shall see....
