Tuesday is a rollin'

Good Morning Friends! Hope your Tuesday is off to a fantastic start. I have survived 3 whole days of single parenting without any major incidents. I did however spend three hours in my car yesterday morning doing drop offs and ortho appointments....but no big snaffu's. No one got left at school. They got in three meals. They were relatively clean, and I believe everyone brushed their teeth. I would not swear to that one though. VICTORY!!

Today is off to a good start. Everyone is at school. I have managed to have coffee, and brush my teeth. Showering is on the schedule. I have a ton of work to do too. Oh, and I decided to dye my hair auburn. I don't know why. I just get an itch like this every now and then to do something different. I have been Platinum blonde (most of my life) but consistently for the last 4 years, and I am bored. The color is on my head as we speak, so there is no turning back. Wish me luck.

December is rolling. I have gotten a good deal of my shopping done, hurray! I still haven't taken pics for our holiday card. That task always overwhelms me. How do I get all five boys, in the same place, clean, dressed nice, and sitting still?????? There is no way I can get the whole family this year. Last year I resorted to a montage, and that might be what I do this year. We shall see. I never sent new address cards to everyone, so I will probably miss out on my favorite part, getting all of those cards! I love seeing how the kids all grow from year to year. If you want to send us a card, but don't have our address, message me on facebook or email me please!

That is it for now. Happy Tuesday!

The Sky is Blue

I want to thank all of you who lift my family up in prayer. I thank all of you who give us encouragement. I try really hard to see the cup 1/2 full, and most days I do. I was feeling a little down last night, but today is a new day. Blue skies remind me of how much I am loved. Have an awesome day friends. And.....on a side note.... Go Viewpoint Patriots!!! We are in the playoffs! Wooo Hoooooo!

Networking can be expensive!

I went to a cool women's networking meeting the other night. It was with an organization called Heartlink . It was at some one's house. An awesome dinner was served. Tables set, lovely hospitality, and about 20 very interesting women were there. We each got 3 minutes to introduce ourselves and tell a bit about our business's. Most of the women knew each other already. Many of the women present had business's that sell through direct marketing. Most of the big ones were represented, and a few new ones I had never heard of but found interesting. There were also women with other business's like insurance, legal services, printing, etc... It is great to meet like minded people, and I can definitely see the benefits of attending regularly. The bad part however, is it leaves you wanting to go shopping! All of a sudden, I MUST have the new mango cutter from Pampered Chef, and I am yearning to freshen up my candles, and I NEED a hole new wardrobe from CABi . ...

Believing isn't so hard

Why do I believe what I can't see? That is a valid question. I get it from well intentioned people just trying to understand our differences I guess. I'll try to answer as best as I can. The college years especially, are a time of exploration. We think in a less inhibited way. We behave in a less inhibited way. We ponder, and process, and get emotional about issues we think are important. It is definitely an important step in the process of maturing. I too, explored, pondered, got emotional, and was uninhibited. I remember especially being passionate about the right to a woman's choice. I never took the idea of abortion lightly. I held the hands of a few friends along the way, as they made that very difficult choice. I praise God that I was never faced with that decision, I am not sure what I would have done at that stage of my life. I would like to think I would have chosen life, but I can't say for sure. I don't believe that ab...
