Gems

I told Mark at least a month or two ago.  You better buckle your seat belt because when it starts to happen it will be fast. UNDERSTATEMENT!  We really need a five point harness, like Nascar with an escape hatch in the roof.  This is one wild ride.  

Yesterday we had a "moving" sale.  We have never done a yard sale before.  I was a little leery of the whole idea.  It just doesn't seem worth all the work.  We just had so much stuff we can't move to Alabama.  It seemed worth it.  We made about $220 off our "junk". What it really accomplished was actually going through our belongings and deciding what we want to keep.  So, my garage is full of unwanted items and I will be dividing and conquering that tomorrow.   

Thanks to the friends and family that helped us.  Your gems!  

Today was the last day Mark played in the church band.  It has been many years now that we have gone to Calvary Chapel and we love our church and it is the hardest (beside our family) to "walk" away from.   What made me think I didn't need a tissue is beyond me.  I'm sad in the fact that Mark said that the band "is the best thing musically I have been involved with"  It is hard to walk away from something that seems to be the best.  Calvary Chapel Saint Pete will be hard to replace.  Calvary will always be my "home" church and will be missed greatly.

I know everyone will miss you all at Calvary. Glad to hear the move is going smooth. Your family is a wonderful testimony to the grace of God.

2 AM Musings

I have been wide awake since before 2 AM. Wide eyed and well, not so bushy tailed. This is the second day in a row. Why?  No really, why? This is the second day in a row my brain refuses to turn off for longer than a few hours. It's like half my brain wants to party and the logical side knows this is not a good thing.    As a mom of three on the first day of a new school year I am sitting in the family room in the dark thinking of all the things I can't do right now. I am also lamenting summer. Today summer break officially ends. At least I am up in time to get the kids to school.   I am not excited for today. It has a few milestones that we can not put off. I will not drive to the elementary school for the first time in eight years. I will be dropping my youngest off at middle school and my oldest at the high school. Also the middle child decided to go back to school so I will not be homeschooling this year.   In a few hours my kids will wake up and ...

Low Expectations

Mark and I took the kids a couple of years ago to Orlando for a weekend.  Nathan was less than a year old, Alexandra must have just turned 2 and Madison was 4.  I look back and laugh but at the time it was anything but funny.  A trip to Disney would be fun and relaxing right?  HA!  We never even made it to Disney because Madison was so ornery the day we were going to go I couldn't justify going.  We learned a lot about being parents of three young kids that weekend.   During our stay we took the kids to the Rainforest Cafe.  Nathan was terrified the whole meal and after our $75 lunch Madison threw up all over the table and floor.  That is when Mark made the rule we don't take the kids to a restaurant unless it has a drive thru, curbside doesn't count.  We really do stick to that rule and the only sit down "nice" restaurant we go to with the kids is Sonny's BBQ.  Before we left I wanted to get the kids a little something from the Disney Marketplace.  I took the...

Happy New Year!

Happy Anniversary to my parents that got married today many moons ago. Congratulations for over 30 years of marital bliss.   Updates... I know why you should have a realtor.  Too many emotions.  The people that looked out our house put it in their top 3 choices and today they go back to their other 2 choices.  We will see what happens.  I feel a low offer coming our way, if we get an offer at all.     Do you know how much work it is to keep a house walk thru ready?  I feel like we worked all day to get out for an hour and then we came home and trashed the place.     Tomungus, Nathan's new word.  What it means I'm not quite sure, but he thinks it is funny.  He says humongous and ginormous a lot so I think he just said one wrong.   The veggie garden is growing wild. We have tiny tomatoes, squash, zucchini and broccoli. I kinda hope we can get some veggie before we move.  If not I will have to start another garden the kids love it and it keeps them busy watering it.  Playing in  w...
