Thriller

The picture is my kids and some friends kids at Homecoming for NLA this year. I never do pictures and just wanted to...

How many times have I heard this at the Haunted Mansion at the state fair! I love it and I love Halloween, because it leads to Thanksgiving and Christmas and candy being involved is good too! We are going to the Harvest Festival at church and Mikey is going to give his testimony. It should be fun! I am going as Ugly Betty and Steve is going to be Army man or something, Gracie is Tweety Bird, Mikey is the black Spiderman and Ashley is toying with being a spy. I may have pictures to post but probably not.

If We are the Body

I often think that I am so stagnant. I sit around and want to change the world and yet change nothing. I know many things limit me, not enough money, not enough time, not enough energy. I am working on this.

These Wicked Games You Play

I was tagged and can not copy anything but the rules are to pass it on - which I won't but I will answer the questions.

I must say 7 random things about myself.

1. I am short and will soon be the shortest person in my family.
2. I would love to live in Tennessee.
3. I do consider myself a minority.
4. I am afraid of bridges.
5. I would love to have a solo singing voice and sing in front of the church.
6. I actually do enjoy solitude.
7. I like to learn something new everyday.

Always something There to Remind Me

I am sure that living 4 houses away from where I grew up and having my daughter in the same high school I went to and having most of the same friends I have since high school makes me remember high school. What I don't remember is fighting and defying my parents as a teen. Now I did sneak phone calls after hours, but not on a regular basis. Help me remember why we broke the rules - was it to see what we could get away with or was it because we are sinful by nature? I need to know some stories so I don't think my teen is so abnormal. She just seems to be pushing it lately. Any thoughts?

With a Little Help from my Friends

I am finally feeling like I should. I feel like I can have a good time and be myself and not be so scared to open up to people. I am so glad that I am getting back to 'normal' - at least my normal. Looking forward to seeing if Mikey will get his tooth repaired today. He broke half of his tooth off last night and wonder how they will fix it as it is still growing. Never a dull moment!

Don't Be Stupid (You know I love you)

Please hear me when I say that we need to stand for Truth. We need to show Christ's love and we need to be responsible with what we do with the Word of God. If we are not in prayer about how we should vote or how we should present Christ to the world then we are being luke warm and the Bible warns us about that. I need to be on my knees and follow ONLY God's direction!

You Make Me Feel Like Dancing

I loved Dancing with the Stars last night with all the campaign ads that they made fun of! It was great and a break from the ads themselves. What a fun show to watch! Sad how that can make my week!

Looking forward to a few days off with the kids and Ashley is starting to feel better so should be a good four days!

Blessed be the name of the Lord

Blessed be your name
In the land that is plentiful
Where the streams of abundance flow
Blessed be your name
Blessed be your name
When I'm found in the desert place
Though I walk through the wilderness
Blessed be your name
Every blessing you pour out,I turn back to praise
When the darkness closes in, Lord
Still I will say...Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be your name
Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be your glorious name
Blessed be your name
When the sun's shining down on me
When the world's all as it should be
Blessed be your name
Blessed be your name
On the road marked with suffering
Though there's pain in the offering
Blessed be your name

You give and take away
You give and take away
My heart will choose to say Lord,
Blessed be your name

What a privledge to say these lines! I need to remember in the bad and the GOOD!

Jagged Little Pill

So I am still getting over what the dr. said on Tuesday was 'walking pneumonia' and put me on some antibiotics. I got samples which is great but had not facts about the drug. I took it Tuesday and had terrible nightmares and lost a lot of sleep. Took it yesterday and last night I did not sleep at all and major stomach issues. I get on the website this morning for side effects and all these symptoms are side effects to this pill!!! I am now going to drive my children to school at their appropriate times and take a sleeping pill to sleep the day away!!

We're not Gonna Take IT

I along with many of you are so tired of the ads for this election coming up that we could scream. What is the solution? I don't know but I think I am going to fire up my Sing Star 80's and tell them 'we're not going to take it anymore!'.

All I want to is Dream!

I have been so tired lately. I am looking forward to the morning that I decide I slept enough. Maybe when the kids are gone! I feel like I have not been present even when I have been to places as I am always fighting fatigue.

I did have an upper respitory infection and have finished antibiotics for that and did mow the lawn last night which is a good sign I might be getting some energy back. Just ready to feel 'normal' or as normal as I once was.
