bits and pieces

the difficulty with committing to a daily blog is that you have to write it daily, even if you feel as though you haven't a thing new to say and you'd much rather just go to sleep. i have empathy for newspaper columnists who have to come up with engaging topics week after week.
if this were just a private journal, i would chuck it and turn off the light. but there is a degree of accountability in writing to a (supposedly :) larger audience, and a feeling that i must do what i have said i will do.
so i could write about how strange church was today, because our big trailer with all of our set-up things (for the main room and for children's church) never arrived, and we had to scramble and improvise and have small children running around during the sermon...
or i could write about how off sunny was all afternoon, and how he cried for 15 minutes because he couldn't make me understand what clothes he wanted to put on....
or i could tell you about sailor dancing naked in the tub or careening across the floor in pursuit of her brother....
or that my parents are here to help while jon's away, and how my mom does a better job (thank God) of getting sunny to sleep than i do (maybe her eyebrows aren't as soft :)....
but mostly i think that i'll write that those are all the pieces i have for you tonight... little snapshots of my weekend and my day.... all of the small moments that make up my life. :)
good night.
