life lesson #6: sometimes "funny" likes to play hide-'n-go-seek:
i have felt a bit frantic lately. that is why my blogging has slowed. i really feel like blogging is my outlet to still make myself laugh even in some tough situations. however, my funny side has mastered the "hide" part of hide-'n-go-seek. i haven't seen her in a while, though i have been looking. every now and then i think i see a glimpse of a toe or a corner of her red shirt. and every now and then i will hear a giggle or a snicker. but for the most part, my "funny" hider is getting better about steering clear from this seeker.
i am a stresser-outer. someone who likes a clear plan for the future & then have some reasonable time to get myself together. however my time is spent otherwise without much of a break and i am quickly boiling up like a tea kettle ready to let loose in a high-pitched whistle.
ben did have his phone interview on tuesday with one of the head honchos at the school in phoenix he is hoping to get into. REALLY hoping. because at this point, there is no plan B. there are no other baskets to put our eggs in. so the earliest we should hear back is this next tuesday, the latest in two weeks. TWO WEEKS. "funny" just shoved herself a little farther back in her corner. (anyone else notice that to the right of this post we have less than 3 weeks before we are supposed to move??)
but tonight & tomorrow until 6pm ben, caleb & i have some time off. i am bound and determined to attempt to relax. i may even start humming the tune "every party has a pooper" to my stressed-out side to give her a little heads-up that she is not welcome back until 6pm on friday night.
and to my funny side....ready or not, here i come.

I feel ya Sista! You are a fantastic family and I just KNOW that you will end up in a spectacular situation(hopefully in my guest room!)And that where ever you go you will thrive. You and Ben are so good at thriving wherever you are! You could always stay in the group home an extra year!
I hope you guys have a fantastic weekend and that you get your funny side back.
Good luck with everything. We'll keep you guys in our prayers in hopes that it all works out!
i know there's no way i could possible understand the stress you are going through....but have FAITH that this will all work itself out the way it needs to. worst case scenario...your mom's basement for a few weeks?? :) seriously though....keep your sense of humor because it's positively charming. stressing won't change anything except give you ulcers. i'm sending you LOVE.
Oh Linds - you will look back and see that it all worked out. You guys are so talented and living so right, just get ready for the blessings that are coming your way! Really!
Everything will be boring and routine in 10 years and you will say - remember when...and smile.
Oh and I can still see your funny side coming thru - which I love. So don't despair.
I just can't even imagine the Linds without a funny side so can you please get her back. hang in there it will work out. Somehow it always does. You could always move back to rexburg we would sure love it.:)
So ya, we completely understand. I can't believe what a relief it is just knowing we now know what we will be doing, but how we are going to get there is a whole other story!!! Waiting is the hardest part! Good luck with everything! We love you guys!
I'm pretty sure when that high-pitched whistle comes, we're going to be able to hear it from here!!! :) ::) LOL! That lovely voice of yours can hit higher notes than I knew existed! :) Good luck with the waiting game. -- I've never come across a more frustrating one. --- I can sound like a parrot and say, "it will all work out!" -- I truly hope it does -- too bad WE don't get to tell the Lord what's best for us. But it really doesn't work that way, does it? Double check where the desires of your heart really are - the Lord really does grant according to the desires of our hearts. If what you really want is to serve the Lord, to be obedient, to have faith - he'll give you those things. Don't take counsel from your fears. His plan is more important than ours. You've lived righteously. You pay your tithing. You've made numerous sacrifices to have a family and to follow the course that he has set up for you so far. He has a lot in store for you and I'm sure he has big plans of how he's going to use your talents to bless the lives of others. All will be as he wants to be - and what he wants REALLY IS BEST for you all. (for US all!) Just BREATHE Lyns. He has promised you blessings. They will come.
I hear ya--and it stinks! Doesn't it? Hang in there...I think the "funny you" is just taking a back seat while God's humor is in the drivers seat... :)
Well, your fashionably dressed "funny" appears to be playing Hide n' Seek with "crazy", who wears neon striped Hammer pants and a raspberry beret.
PS - Wayne says you're a crappy tipper.
PPS - Did I tell you we bought a CAMPER?
