I just have to write this out...
I'm not writing this to get any response from anyone...just to vent.
I had a horrible day yesterday...my brain is in too many places right now...I'm trying to keep a level head about it all...I really need to get away, alone, but how ridiculous is that??? I'm a wife and mother of four (sometimes six).
I feel it already today, another crappy day...I know that my day is what I make it: I get to go shopping for food and toiletries, yay.
Sorry to anyone who ends up reading this...I'm just having a pitty party...no one is invited, sorry.
Ready for my road trip......

Off...

Today I wish that I could turn off my emotions...and Chloe's, too. Jacob and I dropped Chloe off for basketball camp this morning. Those poor kids...they've been crying for days now. I just keep telling Chloe that this is God's will...how else can I comfort her? I know that it's going to hurt...the pain will slowly go away, but no one will replace her friend :( And her tears will start again when she returns home because he will be gone.

Me, on the other hand, well, I know that it will be hard...I'm actually not sure how I'll react when our friends are no longer our neighbors. ...

Seasons Change...

 I thought that I would write a little something today...

I have so much on my mind and heart right now. We have a wonderful young lady from Spain staying with us for a month, summer activities, basketball camp, soccer camp, camping and...

In the next week my world is going to change. The Lord brought this wonderfully family into my life a little over one year ago, and in a few short days they will be on the road heading 16hrs away. I know that our friendship will remain, but my day to day life won't be the same. Who will inspire me to sew??? Who can I go get coffee with on a whim??? Who's wax warmer can I borrow??? No more walking down to say "hello". No, more harassment from my "brother"!!! And, George, oh how I'll miss him so.  I know that God crossed our paths intentionally and I know that he is sending them away for his will, as well. I pray that they stay firm in his word and stay focused on his will. I also, pray that I can set an example for others as they have set example for me. 

It's funny the emotions you go through when someone that means so much to you is not going to be your neighbor any longer...I've been sad, mad, sad, angry, sad, in denial, sad, irritated and sad ; )

I am happy that they will be closer to family and friends. And I am so excited to see how God blesses them for obeying his will. 

Next road trip...Cali baby... 

My Days...

My days are so (as Chloe would say) "Random". Each day is so different then the one before and the one before that. One day I'm here, there and everywhere and the next I'm doing nothing (because I love to be lazy). I am so thankful for all that is "on my plate" right now. Book Club, storytime with Dub and our new friends, helping plan our first ever ladies retreat at my church, Bobby's soccer, Chloe's track, planning "Family Art Night" at the elementary school, wife, mom, daughter, granddaughter, niece and friend... ; )
I am so thankful for my health, so that I'm able to juggle all of this. So, so thankful for all the support I have, as well.
I attended my first PTO meeting today. I felt that it went very well. I'm hoping that I can attend them from here on out...I was very disappointed to the low attendance. I felt a ton of support from all who were there, though.

Well, I just felt like writing... nothing too exciting ; )

So, I don't buy or wear a whole lot of make-up...but I'm thinking of starting...Wonder Women make-up at the Mac counter!!! YAY!

First Entry

Here goes nothin'...

I have wanted to start blogging for, what seems like, FOREVER!  I guess I've been putting it off because I've felt like my thoughts aren't worth jotting down. That my life isn't that exciting or interesting. I've decided just to go for it!  Read if you like...and if you don't like, that's okay, too ; )

Today the sun is shining...outside. I wish I felt that way. Isn't life something? Things that we go through.

Life is good, though. I have a wonderful husband who lets me stay home to take care of our children and home. The kids are healthy & smart. I have so many friends and so much family that I am so, so very thankful for.

Today William and I went to story time at the library with our new friends, Nikki & Shia. Dub loves story time...a story, bubbles, songs and toys. I also love story time...I get to socialize. I love to socialize!!

I have recently started a new book,with my new book club gals. Water for Elephants...so far I'm really enjoying it!

Can't wait for the movie!


Well, here's to my blog....
