Today has been an unexpected day. A friend called me this morning and offered to take my kids for the day and had a surprise for me. I recently watched her three girls for several days, but I did not expect anything in return. She gave me a gift card to World Market and a day to myself! I almost don't know what to do with myself.
So... I went to World Market and bought some wonderful things like a new skillet! (you know you are a mom when you get heart palpitations over a skillet) Then I went to Aldi and bought watermelons, then I went out to eat by myself at an Indian buffet (my favorite). Then I went and looked at the Christian bookstore and then I went and drove through the car wash. I am home now and practicing music for a rehearsal tomorrow night. We are doing the Durufle Requiem and I am using this recording to practice with. These boys sing so beautifully it makes me want to cry.
I am so fortunate to be able to sing this stuff. I considered giving up the choir with the coming of this third baby, but I just can't do it. My church doesn't sing this style of music and I just can't live without it. I find it so enriching to sing intellectually engaging music! Songs in other languages that people for centuries have sung. So, today I am thankful for thoughtful deeds returned to me unexpectedly, good music and time off.

I'm glad you aren't going to quit the choir. I think you'd really miss the singing and the fellowship with the other singers. And you'd really miss using your talent.
