50 MPH

Today is the first day in a long time I drove the actual speed limit on my way to work. I see this trooper from the corner of my eye waiting to turn onto the highway after I passed by... oooh boy!! I was only going "a few" miles over the speed limit, ok I admit my car is use to going 60 on this road and not 50. So we are cruisin' along then I see another 3 cop cars up the road(at this point I am thinking I am about to witness a C.O.P.S. show episode) well, no COPS show episode was about to happen, but it did get me to go the speed limit the entire stretch of 13. I have to say though, it is too easy to be cruizin along and not realizing how fast you are actually going...

Joy Riding

Yesterday Rich and I were off to meet little Martin (he is the newest addition to some good friends of ours) after work and lets just say, it was a trip:) I googled the address that was given to me and printed them off to get us to the hospital, well, lets just say the directions took us to a house that was being newly built. So unless the hospital downsized to a housing development...mmm I not to sure. Well to our knowledge the adventure had just begun:) we started driving around the city of St. Louis Park and later found ourselves on Excelsior(which the hospital is on) so we pulled into the hospital and walked into the building, got on the elevator thinking we were going to her floor and ended up on the Senoir Citizens Ward! I don't think they are having babies on that floor. So we go down a level, nope that was the family practice level and everyone had gone home for the day! So we found ourselves back at the parking ramp and realized this hospital had multiple buildings. We picked up the courtesy phone to talk to the operator to find out which building she was in. Her reply was "you are on the wrong campus of the hospital!" we needed to go back out to Excelsior and go down another 2 miles and she will be at the hospital there. oops! (At this point my lovely husband to be was not very happy with me, I deffinately need to get a map or a gps unit in my car) So we get back in the car and head down the road to see construction is in our way of getting to the hospital! Yipee(note the sarcasm) well after a little detour we made it to the hospital...we walk in and ask the desk guy how to get to her room. We go up to the 3rd floor looking for room 316(this is the room I thought she was in). There is no room 316!! There was 317, 318, 319 and so on...NO 316. We both laugh walk back down the hallway and the nurses could tell we were still lost:) To our knowledge she was in room 336! An hour later we found our friends and met little Martin (the adventure was deffinately worth it, he is so adorable:):)!! but to know we did a complete circle on our drive passing the same resturant we passed on our way to the first hospital site oh about 45 minutes earlier....I got in a little bit of trouble:)

Too Busy

I feel like I have kinda fallen a little with my "God Time" per say. My prayer life is pretty good, but when it comes to sitting down and reading my bible or reading a devotion, I struggle. I feel like I have gotten wrapped up in the cycle called "I am too busy and if I am not at the moment I will find something else to do to busy my time" I know, its horrible isn't it. Then I get a little frustrated cause in the back of my mind I know I should spend more quality time with God and because I don't I feel bad. I think about spending more time with Him... ALOT(does that count?) but I don't do anything about it...I know I could have the strength to over come this bondage I feel, but I just don't have the motivation to do it. Blogger friends, do you ever get in this cycle? How do you deal with it?
