Confessions

My friend Bethany did a like of "Not Me" post like McMomma does at mycharmingkids.net does on Mondays but her husband said that the "not me" was kids of hard to read (and I kind of agree sometimes) so Bethany did a confession type post and this was much easier for me to read and copy. So I hope it is ok for me to do this but I am "stepping into the confessional"
-i confess that it was easier to talk my best friend into taking my kids overnight last Friday then for me to get up early and get a babysitter so that I can do the registration for a conference (Thank you Jennifer)
-I confess that when I woke up at 6 this morning I was so relieved that I had another hour of sleep and I enjoyed it more then the whole night
-i confess that I get giddy when I see my husband come to Awana to pick up our extremely whiny, hot, tired, hungry crew of children to take them home and leave me there to go home by my self (ahhh the sound of silence)
-i confess that i love that my hair right now can go a couple of days with out being washed, all I have to do is put some water in it and it curls right up
-i confess that I love throwing the covers off of Aubri to wake her up in the morning. I even get a little giggle when i have to threaten her with water on the head...te he te he
-i confess that i am glad that all the conferences, fundraisers, start ups and retreats are over so that now I can finally have a weekend to my family

that is it for this week. I am now stepping out of the confessional. Its your turn...

I may be back...

So I haven't posted for a very long time...yep I have been busy. That is my excuse and I am sticking to it. September took me by surprise and I can't believe that we are almost in the middle of October. So I think I may be back but I don't think that I will be an every day kind of gal unless it is a really good day (like today when I have lots to say or get caught up on). So stay tuned I have a lot to say and a whole day to say it.

Time passes by

So I just have finished a week of a sumer cold!!! Yes a cold. I can't believe that I would get a cold in the middle of the summer but I did. Now I know why and it was God's way of slowing me down but now all I can do is catch up on everything that I needed to do for the past week. Have I mentioned that school starts in 25 days?

I am a stress case. I know that I shouldn't and I try not to but it doesn't work. Now I have Awana, PTO, a third grader and two pre-schoolers starting all with in the month. YUCK!!! Oh an did I forget BSU football? Yes we are avid fans or should I say AVID fans. GO BSU!!! sorry that just came out.

Well I better get going on my 'to do before school starts' list or I will be really behind.

Helper, doer, Prayer

I am a do'er. When someone comes to me with a problem I want to help-do something. I most cases I don't but sometimes I do and most of the time it gets me into trouble because I don't have the time, money, permission, etc...right now I am thinking of helping someone I don't even know but the need is great. I know that they would appreciate the help but I just don't know how to swing it. How do I know if it is something that should be done or what and more importantly if God wants it to be done? Right now I don't have time, money or resources but I just feel like this family needs help. PRAYER is the only way I can help right now I guess and sometimes that is the only way I can help.

Smiles

I know why God created children, to make us adults smile. I was having a hard day on Monday and I cried out to the Lord "help me just get thru the rest of the day" and that was around lunch time. A little later after that prayer I got a call from my mom that we were meeting later than first was talked about..."thank you Lord"... I can have some sit down me time, well none of that happened. First the Aubs came in and sat with me hugging me..."thank you Lord for these hugs"... then Benjie cam in with more hugs and loves..."thank you lord for more hugs I can really feel your love commin down on me right now"... then our scoops came in and sat with me. Yes all 3 of my kiddos came in and we watched a movie...ahh just peace...then at the end there was a fun song playing for the credits scoops got up and started playing the air guitar..."thank you Lord for the laughter and fun"... it was so fun to see him strummin and dancing then Benjie started doing a mash pit action, it was just what I needed for a bad start of a day...a smile...

Happy 4th of July!!!

So Happy 4th everyone!!! I hope everyone will have a safe and wonderful holiday celebrating our country with your families! We are going over to a friend home and having a potluck with our growth group and then shooting off fireworks (everything legal of course) and just having fun. I hope to learn how to upload pictures so maybe in the next few days I will put them up of our family looking very red, white and blue and of our firework display.

Have a great one everyone!!!

My First Post

Oh my I guess I am officially n the bloggin world. Please help me if you can. I don't know all the rules and if I screw up please politely let me know.

So about me, I am an awful speller so I will try to always use spell check (so if you see a lot of mis-spells you know it wasn't on or I forgot). I have like to laugh especially at myself.

I am a daughter of Christ, wife of 16 years, mother of 3 beautiful children (daughter that is 8 and twin boys who are 4), best friends to a few, a friend to many and would like to be friends to all but I know that is impossible (yes I am a people pleaser and that does get me into trouble).

Why I started a blog...I really don't know, I love reading others blogs and started dreaming of my own and just couldn't resist. I will have fun things about my kids, about that I see in the world around me and just misc. ideas.

Well I think that is all for my first post. What do you think? What should my next topic be? How do I do this crazy thing?
