School Picture Day


 The kids were told yesterday that Monday was school picture day. So as they come up to me in the car line after school they are telling me about it, Bailey tosses his backpack in the van and exclaims " I am not having my picture taken." I told him, he "had" to have it done. It was for the year book. He argued with me for a little while then got into his seat and as he buckled up he said "Fine, but I am not dressing up, and looking all handsome and stuff." I told him that would be okay, he could just dress like normal, but he might still be handsome anyway...

 Took the girls to Awana's and then took Destiny shopping for clothes. I can say one thing, the girl does now where to get a deal, and she is thrifty too! She gets that from her mama, I think. I have fun with her, when its just her and I together. She is a real person then, funny, cute un-irritating. I laughed, and we had fun, I wonder why it can' t be like that at home, she says she does not know. Oh well. As long as we have our times together to remind me now and then why I am keeping her around.

 I made the 2 little girls bags, to put their Bible, Awana book and such in. Promise is apparently now offering me to make some for her friends... I think its time to teach her how to sew!

 Tim got told, by a little girl at his work (a customers child) That he was grumpy. Or she asked why he was "Mad" He told her he was not mad and she said "Yes you are, becuase when your eyebrows go together like that, it means your mad." So now I constantly tease him about his eyebrows and being mad. Life, is good.

Ahh a fresh new week.

It is Monday. Daylight savings gave me this extra hour of sleep and a bright sunny morning to wake up to. The weekend is behind me now along with that UNGODLY busy week. My best friend is home from her camping trip, I have learned how to use, and LOVE my new phone... All feels right with the world!  Over the weekend Destiny was gone. It was kind of quiet around here, but Promise made sure to make up for the crankiness and teenager (esq) that might be lacking in the household. Thank you Promise. Your just too kind.  Rooster boy came and stayed the night. Not sure why but my son always has these strange thoughts he thinks are good ideas when rooster boy stays... Not saying its rooster boy, my son even admitted it was his own idea, I just think when boys get together, they lose all ability to ration out what is a good and what is a bad idea.  So what was the bright idea this weekend? To "splatter paint" A bowling pin . I guess I should be happy, that at least ...

Its not always 50/50

 Sometimes one person has to hold up more weight than the other does. Lately I feel as though I am that person holding the extra weight. Lately I have been wishing I was not that person. I feel like I am being spread a bit too thin... I also feel like no matter how many times I try to explain myself, it does not matter.  So I will just keep waiting, and hopefully eventually someone will come and take a few books off of my stack. Take a load off. Help me out. Chip in. You get it? I am sure you do. Now if only other people did as well.  God doesnt give you more than you can handle. I wonder sometimes if He thinks the load he's giving me is being more evenly distributed than it is... Maybe he can review my case :)

Time Flies

A year ago today my best friend gave birth to her second little boy. TWO years ago tomorrow my first granddaughter was born. Both seem like yesterday, but also so long ago. Two years in a row almost on the same day I got to watch the miracle of life happen... I have done it myself four times, but it never ceases to amaze me. To watch it is just amazing that our body does that. GROWS someone in side of us and then gets that someone OUT. Just amazing. Life is stressing me out right now however, I am trying to take this weekend to just tune out anything and everything that is getting to me, just have fun, go to birthday parties, eat cake and not worrry. Not worry about bills or calories or my steps (I even took my fit bit off) Just be me, just enjoy what there is in life to enjoy. My amazing friends, and my crazy family and the hot summer weather.
