It just does not seem real.

 Somehow, nearly fourteen years have passed by in just the blink of an eye. How does that happen? My first born, that little round headed fat baby girl, is turning into a fourteen year old, matured almost woman in just eight short days. I do not quite understand how this happened.

 Just the other day when I went to give her some clothes at a friends because she was staying the night, as she walked up to the van I swear, it was like those commercials you see on TV. For a moment there she was, walking towards me, a little girl, like 3 and slowly right before my eyes and she got closer, she grew and it was just crazy.

 She seems like a pretty level headed child. For the most part. As far as I can see. She's a little snot to Tim and I but to her teachers, and other adults she is normally very respectful. She has shown so much improvement this year on her school work, so much in fact that her teacher sent me an email just to tell me how much she had improved.

 I can only hope that next year she starts out the year on the right foot, with these good habits already in place. I think the hopes of getting her permit (oh dear god bring on the hair dye) and getting a job so she can make money are motivating her to do well. I am just glad something, finally has!

 It has been so rainy here this past week. My garden turned pond over the weekend....I hope some of my plants survive. The ones I have in containers seem to be doing really well, but I am afraid they might be crowded, I would like to move them to the garden, but I just don't know. One day I hope to be as good as my neighbor at gardening. He has so much stuff over there growing. Its beautiful. (I hope they share again this year)

 So that is my blogginess for now. Not much else I want to put down. Bring on the sun!

Rapture

 I never knew, until I think Wednesday this week, that Saturday was the "end of the world" or the rapture or whatever people are saying its supposed to be. I think its funny that someone has said the world was going to end, and now the day before people are just taking notice. I mean last week, no one mentioned a thing. This week the whole place is going crazy. Either with people freaking out, or people making fun of the whole idea. Oh well, no point freaking out about it if you ask me. If its happening its happening. I highly doubt I am one of the ones who would be chosen to be pulled up at this point. I believe in God, and I do think I will go to heaven but I do not think I live my life closely enough to what God would want, to be taken up before the 7 year wrath and all that. I guess that is a horrible thing to admit, but I really think that very few people would be taken at this point.  So the end of the world upon us, I made some good money at work tonight. I was also ...

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 :)

The Lady In Red

  T he Frisco festival was this weekend. Fun times. Free rides, well this year half the rides were free. A band playing live and just fun all around. We always go of course, any time anything is free, were there!  Since we are not cool Destiny went with some friends and not us. Bailey was staying the night with a buddy so the 2 girls that were home, I told could bring a friend... Fun times.  At one point they were waiting in line for a slide/funhouse ride, after a certain point of waiting in line they were finally up to the part with the sign: At the bottom the sign says "If you are in the red sorry you cannot ride the ride"  Hannah is standing there, and she is looking quite concerned after a while... She looks at me and she says "mama, Lauren cannot ride this ride." then she points to the sign.  Oh yes, Lauren is VERY MUCH so over the green line... Heck Lauren is taller than Hannah so I am thinking what is your deal girl??!  Hannah then looks ...
