Just gotta share...

I just wanted to share this silly little dream of mine. Since I was about 10 years old, it has been a dream of mine to go to a Notre Dame football game in South Bend. I mean, I know exactly what I would wear...What blanket I would take to bundle up in...what thermos I would want...How I picture the weather...the smell I think that I would smell....

Back Up!!!

Excellent...After 5 long, horrible, terrible days without phone and internet....WE ARE BACK! lol. Wow, pretty bad that I am that addicted.My Ebay business suffered, my devotions went crazy since I normally do them online, I had 453 new emails...need I keep going???But, you know what, I ended the week with a clean house. Imagine that!!! I guess Brian's theory of "I bet if I threw out the computer, you would get more done." is correct. Shameful.So, now that I have a little detox, I am cutting...

Simple Things...

I went to check on my kids today, because they were somewhat quiet...Normally that means trouble in this house! I knew that they were outside, so I looked out the back door window. Standing there, I saw something so simple, yet so beautiful.There ran 2 little kids. Hand in hand. Chasing a little white butterfly. Simple things in life make your heart feel gre...

Quiet

As I laid in my bed the other night, I realized something. Something really strange. It was quiet. Wow... I realized something else...I LOVED IT! I did not want to go to sleep b/c the quiet was overtaking me. I was relishing it like I do crisp autumn leaves and a Christmas snowfall. The air conditioner was humming along...dog was asleep...mmmmmm....I have decided that I am going to have a date night with quiet, every night. I will take the time to enjoy it, to help release the stress and...

Isaac Funny---

Oh what a goofy boy.So, life has been a little hairy this past week, and will probably remain for the next week. There was a mix up with Brian's check(s) at work that put us using all of our income towards bills. Leaving NONE for gas or groceries for 2 weeks. We have been eating from the stockpile, so life is still fine...and we will live, but it is frustrating.Isaac has been a spitfire today. He has gotten into several things, broken a couple, and lost Brian's last pair of contacts (remember...

Home---

Well---that was fun and challenging. The challenging part was keeping my big "kid" from being bored. LOL! He can not just sit down. Once he got a hike in, rolled around in the poison ivy to bring back to me, and built his fire...he decided that he liked camping. I have learned 2 things. #1. I have to take more covers. It was FREEZING on Fri night. I mean like my nose and toes were blue. Ok, not that bad, but seriously cold. #2 We should camp a little closer to the bath-house. Maybe that...

Happy Would Be Birthday....

Sparkler---You touched Mommy's heart so hard that you left your fingerprints forever. I first thought you were with me me when we went to the Children's Museum and I was sick. The elevators made me so sick to my tummy. We found out that you were with us, the day after Halloween. Mommy knew while we were trick or treating, that you were in me. You were 6 weeks old when I discovered you. From the get go, you fought. The dr would say one week that you would not make it. Then the next week, you grew!...

A Camping We Will Go

Fun---Our families first camping trip. Trying to plan for it, and I am suddenly forgetting all of the things that I loved as a child. We will be camping in a primitive site. Brian wants NO modern conveniences. We will not even have a picnic table. It is a walk in site. You have to take a little jaunt to the site back in the woods. Abbie was all excited b/c she found some wild berries when we checked it out. She thought that she would pick the berries, and Brian would catch fish to eat. I...

So---you wanna laugh and then pray for me???I thought I would help Brian with the yard since he is working 60 hour weeks now. I tried to mow the lawn. LOL. This is the second time I have used a push mower. First time went great. This time, I hit a tree root. Something BROKE! Neither one of us know what it is.So, pray it is an easy fix. Funny...yet n...
