Jeff bought me the most beautiful flowers to congratulate me on my new job. The bouquet of Fuji Mums offers a burst of color on our dining room table. They're my new favorite flower--bold and exotic. They're highly noticeable and people either love them or hate them. I'm afraid that's what my new boss thinks the listening audience of WCIC will think about me--I may be a little too open and out there sometimes for a highly conservative audience and need to develop a strong gauge for sensitivity. I've been told to brace myself for critical attacks on seemingly insignificant things. During small group last night, Jeff prayed, "Dear Lord. Please give Catherine a family-friendly personality!" :) Yes Lord, please do!
The kids are sound asleep now after I sugared them up with brownies and M&Ms. I tried to make this a fun night for them...Laney has been begging me to rent Jaws 2 for the past year. I finally gave in and rented Jaws: the Revenge. (I think it's part 4 in the sequels). Within five minutes after the opening credits she asked us to pop out the DVD. We told her the minute she's too scared we could turn it off. She's so in love with sharks and routinely watches shark attacks on firm, I didn't think it would be a big deal but she opted to watch Dr. Doolittle instead. It's a good thing I rented a back-up.
I also offered to sleep downstairs in the living room with them and they were excited about the idea...but changed their minds at the last minute, preferring the comforts of their bed. I was very relieved!
