The Final Countdown

Today I was walking around school with the old Europe song playing in my head. THE FINAL COUNTDOWN. I could hear that synthesizer riff that I used to think was soooo awesome and heavy. (Key words in that sentence: "used to".) But I still like that song. It reminds me of roller skating. And then, ironically, we took the kids roller skating for about 2 hours this afternoon, and I was so tempted to ask the DJ if he could play that song! tee hee

Anyway, that’s the mode I’ve been in (final countdown mode) since Monday morning because it’s the last week of school and I feel like I’m winding up and winding down at the same time. Picture me grading literally PILES of papers, somewhat hurriedly, and writing final exams, wiping my tired damp brow, and drinking coffee to stay awake as that Europe song plays in the background. (I think that’s a funny picture. And sadly not far from the truth!)

It’s been a GREAT week so far, very FULL, but in a good way. This week has brought some nice fellowship, some hard work, some fun, and some answered prayer. I have lots to do and lots to think about. And our apartment is rather a disaster. (Housework seems to be taking the WAY back burner this week!) My brain isn’t on overload yet, but sometimes dangerously close!? And I feel happy, blessed, and content. It’s all good.

No worries, mates!
