'tude

I have to say that the war that I am in isn't so bad.  I have to update my "war". What I thought was going to be teeth pulling is actually moving along very nicely.

I have to write this positive update for one reason.  It is because I woke up today in a foul mood. I know it sounds contradictory.  Just hear me out. I didn't want to do what was needed to be an active member in this household today.  I didn't want to take the utilities bill downtown in the rain,  I didn't want to go grocery shopping in the rain, I didn't even want to get dressed and the best part is I didn't want to do two and a half hours of ironing and laundry folding.  Then I learned a lesson in all my 'tude today.  I have such a good life and really have no reason to wake up with the attitude that I had today. Romans 8:28 and we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.  Philippians 2:4 is the kicker "do all things without murmuring or arguing."

So I feel the need to apologize to all that my have been affected by my attitude.  I am not at war.  Although at times it may feel like it, it really is just my human nature to try and "fix" things or "be in control".  Anyone else laughing?

So the positive report is that Alexandra's teacher is okay and really not the enemy.  She is going over the top in helping us get what Alexandra needs.  It is making more work for the teacher, which is sad.  Alex has more work to do at home. This extra work also makes more work for me.  Yet, she is getting the support she needs.  Not perfect, but better.

I have so much to say about the topic and have done a ton of research.  Bottom line is we have to take this one day at a time.  I can't help but look to the future and pray that her next teacher will take the extra time to help her too.  This is why I have to take it one day at a time and know that it will work out according to His purpose.

Lastly I have to say, she is her daddy's daughter!

Lucky Saint Patrick's Day!

Ada you will love this... Madison loses her tooth yesterday on the way home from school.  I am so excited, I take a picture as soon as she gets out of the van and post it everywhere and email it to family.  I clean it off and put it in a zip lock (easier to find under the pillow, right?) and we tuck it under the pillow and we all, ALL fall asleep.   Madison wakes up at 5:30 AM and says to me, "I can't see if the tooth fairy left me anything". PANIC stricken.  I FORGOT THE TOOTH FAIRY JOB!  Okay this is my only job on earth.  I can't remember to exchange cash for a baby tooth. I send her to the couch and tell her it is too early that she has to try and go back to sleep.   I grab Marks elbow and he says to me, "it is only 5:30".  He was awake and heard her too.  We both lay in silence for 30 minutes hoping she falls asleep.  Funny thing is once we talked to each other thirty minutes later, both of us were in bed formulating a plan.  He wanted to sneak out our ...

Thank You 2010

I try very hard not to base my life on my location, size of house, materials I possess, new cars or the latest fashions. It is not something that is easy for me or something I don't have to work on everyday. I have chosen my life to be about Christ and not this world. I try to understand this world in the point of view of Christ. This world is not about what, but who. Even if you are not a Christian it is nobel to do for others. I have chosen in my life to follow Christ. Not perfect, just forgiven. I chose to help organizations that are centered on the love of Christ. My main point this holiday season is to remember the who and not the what. I always thought it would be cool to start a Thank You Card movement. Not that I do things for a thank you. A thank you card just shows me that I did something for someone else that was nice, meaningful, worthy. Kinda like a report card. So my challenge to you is to get a thank you card in 2010. It doesn't have to cost you mon...

Southern Charm

We made an offer (low), the owners countered (expected) and they countered exactly what I thought they would. So, unless the inspector says the house should be demolished we will be the owners of a 1965, full brick, colonial style, bi-level house the second week of July or earlier. It is on a golf course, 6th fairway. It has a pool, fireplace, an original 60's kitchen (redo), hardwood floors, two car garage and much more. We know the process is long when buying a house in this condition. It's not in deplorable shape, livable in need of some updates. It is 44 years old and has not had major updates. This house is 10 years newer than our last house. It has character and southern charm. Not perfect, but perfect for us. Photos on the web are copyrighted. Not sure If I can post them here. I will try and do a link instead......
