I had been asked to be on the missions committee at church before we went on vacation. For some odd reason I was really struggling with the decision to be on the committee. When I sat down tonight to check my e-mail my decision was still not made but I knew I needed to respond to the request. I found myself writing an e-mail declining to be on the committee before I even really thought about it. As I was writing though, it felt like the right decision. On more days than I care to count the amount of things I have to do seems like more than enough. Somehow I couldn't get excited about something that would have normally excited me. I think I need to simplify and not take on additional projects until I finish some of what I have already started.

I did grocery shopping today, which is not my favorite chore, especially with Kayla. Does anyone have any ideas how to positively occupy the time of a not-yet-reading five year old in the grocery store? She wants to help but because she can't read I can't think of a whole lot for her to help with.
