Today was busy and left me exhausted, but it wasn't overall a bad day, so I'm happy. After venting my frustrations last night on my last blog, I felt better. The frustration still exists, but isn't quite as forefront in my head as it was last night.
It was around 2:30am when I went to bed last night. As I walked upstairs to bed, I noticed that the TV in my parents room was still on. Figuring dad couldn't sleep, I thought I'd walk in there to say goodnight. I walked in to see mom sound asleep in the bed and dad laying in the middle of the floor. Apparently sleeping on the floor is the new cool thing. I asked him what he was doing and all he did was snore really loud and roll over. Haha.
I was supposed to go play tennis with mom and Paul (my brother) this morning at 7:30, but that did not happen. When I woke up at 9, I got ready and headed over to church to help mom set up the Easter flowers. Tomorrow is Palm Sunday. I walked into the church to see a palm tree maid out of balloons on the sanctuary stage. My church is pretty small and very conservative and the balloon tree was incredibly distracting. I don't get it at all, but whatever, not my deal. Haha. The flowers look beautiful. I'm so happy to finally see the colors of sping coming back out. It's been dull and grey for way too long.
After leaving church, I went to Wally World to get some things to bake for Paul's baseball bingo fundraiser. I made chocolate cupcakes with cream cheese icing and white chocolate covered pretzels with sprinkes. They turned out super cute! Baking is a stress relief for me. I love it.
Paul's baseball bingo was...boring, to be honest. I suck at bingo. I don't particulary enjoy playing bingo and I've had to play it twice in the past month for fundraisers and didn't win a thing at either event. Needless to say, my bingo-playing days are over. The cupcakes and pretzels were a hit, though! Yay!
At the very end of the evening, while we were cleaning up the cafeteria, the night went downhill way fast. Paul came up and told us about something he had done that evening. I'm not going to say what this thing is, but it's something that one may not think is a big deal, but could have very large consequences. People make mistakes and do stupid things, especially at the egging of friends, so if Paul had shown any remorse at all I would have just let it go. The situation is quite the opposite, though. He doesn't feel that what he did was wrong at all and actually said, "I have no remorse for what I did." That infuriates me. My brother is a better person than that. Hopefully after a nights sleep, he'll realize the seriousness of his actions and own up to it. That's what I'm praying for anyway. If you'd pray the same, I would greatly appreciate it.
It is now nearly 1am and I need to sleep. My body is exhausted and sore for some unknown reason, but I need sleep. I'll end here so that I can be awake while teaching Sunday School tomorrow. Goodnight!
