time

Over the last month, Ihave been going...and Idon't just mean in the regular day-to-day stuff at home and work. I have been from coast to coast...and loved both trips...from Georgia to California (Wow! never really thought that would be something I could say).

Yes, work on Tuesdays and Thursdays. However, between being out of the state, meeting MIL to pick up M, working VBS at work - 4 days in a row, S's rehearsal, recital, b'day, and sleep-over, preparing for last days of work...I finally have time at home!

Georgia was awesome, and I'm still trying to figure things out. Crazy Love by Francis Chan is a great book. I'm still working on it, though. I have noticed that it affects people who've read it differently. I don't want to be the same person after reading it...I can't be. Look in the Bible...I can't be the same person I have been. I'm selfish, and there's nothing positive for those people in the Bible. Jesus was humble! He was a servant. ~~~~~~~Like I said, I'm still trying to figure things out as I continue to read this book.

California was great, too. What an amazing trip for my mom, S and me to bond. A trip I won't soon forget! It's so beautiful there, so it's easy to see God's handiwork...you can see forever until the Pacific meets the sky, hear the roar of the waves crashing against the rocks, and just waiting to get splashed by them.

I love being at home, though. I finally got to clean and do laundry on Wednesday, and today, I have to do more laundry because it really has been that long. S is now down to 2 piles of dirty clothes in her room. Her room is actually a mess because of me and unloading her hamper! M has only 1 load left, but he had been out of shorts before Wednesday. We have probably 3 loads left including towels plus the last load will be blankets that have been used by guests...and the dog over the last 3 weeks (washing them last 'cuz we're not needing them).

Last night was great. The kids got to relax after school. We had a yummy dinner of teriyaki pork loin, summer squash (love that!), and salad. R worked on the leak in the yard. We all went for a walk together (M rode in the stroller). Time. It's great when you have it and chaotic when you "feel" that you don't.

It's time for me to go, now. I want to try to eat w/S at school. Only 3 days left after today...end of 1st grade...not sure when that happened either!

Funny bedtime

Micah is doing great with using the potty. We still, however, put him in a diaper overnight. Sometimes he's dry in the morning. Sometimes he's not. Last night he wanted to wear his underwear. I was reluctant. Randy asked him what he would do if he needed to go tee-tee during the night. M: "I ' feeze ' it" R: "What?" M: "I feeze ' it" I thought maybe he was saying "reach" because he uses an f instead of an r, so we asked. R: "Reach it?" M: "No. ' Feeze ' it" R: "Do you mean freeze it?" M: "Yes" We still had no idea what that meant but were already laughing. R: "Like the cops say "freeze" and you hold your hands up?" M: "Yes. I say ' feeze ' and go in there and go potty" as he pointed to the bathroom. We all laughed hysterically !!

      As I sat here listening to Gov. Abbott tell us the plan for opening the state of Texas, I could see our daughter, who is a senior, standing across the room. When Gov. Abbott mentioned schools will be closed for the rest of the year, her shoulders dropped a little. Then when he talked about graduation, or at least some type of plan for it, her shoulders and countenance dropped even more knowing graduation will most likely not happen as she planned. It was the first time I had seen her feelings about this in physical form.              Yes, I hurt for her. I know she wants to wear her cap and gown. She wants to decorate the top of that mortar board so we can “find” her in the sea of black gowns and matching caps. She was excited to receive her graduation package back in March – two days before spring break, two days before her senior year ended, two days before her life of primary education ended. Non...

Mixed emotions

Here I am just a little over 14 days until Sutton's c-section date, and my emotions are weird, again! I am so excited to have her here to hold her, kiss her, watch her being loved on and hugged on by Sydney and Micah. It is just so exciting!!! However, at the same time, I'm sad. I've come to realize that this the last time I'll be pregnant...which is something I truly enjoy. So the "mixed" part is that I don't want her to come out just yet. I want to continue to feel her kicking and moving around on the inside. It's such an amazing feeling that only God could create! So that is where I am. Pray for me, please. Both are strong emotions right now. My other concern is I don't want to go through post-partum like I did with Sydney. Thanks for reading this one =)
