Days gone by....

This past weeks little 2 days of cool~~ not warm enough to play outdoors was a great blessing. I accomplished allot!! I got the kids rooms cleaned and organized, mopped the front room, and got caught up with some laundry. Are you ready to be amazed? I actually emptied my laundry basket w/ all those papers that I believed I needed. The majority of them needed shredding while only a handful needed filing away. If I can keep up the pace~without hitting to many more snags The garbage men are gonna think I went Mad again because I threw out quite a few bags and its not even Wednesday morning yet!! I don't know whether to be excited or tired from the work ahead. I just know the more I do , the better I feel. Thank you to all who know how I've been down about this situation for your prayers. I can diffidently say The Lord has been working and continues to always to give me the strength I need even if its only baby steps to keep moving forward. Thank You God for answered prayers.

Well Since I'm on the topic of last week, I figured it would be nice to update you on the matter of Jackie's ankle. It has healed but is still very week. She had the choice or should I say I made the decision for her. We opted for at home exercise to make said ankle stronger~~ because I wasn't about to drive to Naperville several times a week for therapy when she could do the same things at home. Please continue to pray for her~~she will still need to wear the leg brace for another six weeks and do the exercises to strengthen the ankle before the doctor will release her to try out for next years sports teams. Thank You.

I've made some changes

Well I'm here with a new look, something more uplifting with some softer color. I changed it ~~ well because the blogger people made some changes, and I couldn't find where people could comment. That's part of all the fun~~ to see who's looking ~ isn't it? so here goes......

Yesterday Matthew and I spent the whole afternoon w/ Kris, Paige, and Quinten and had all kinds of fun enjoying the great outdoors, us adults had other plans but in alot more ways, this was far less stressful and alot more fun. The stores can wait. These pics to follow are of Matthew or rather At-ew as Paige calls him and of her. They were just to irrestable! not to share.

The following was an e-mail sent to me by my mother and thought I'd just share it. And a great daily reminder it is!!!

Rules from God for 2007

1. Wake Up !! Decide to have a good day. "Today is the day the Lord hath made; let us rejoice and be glad in it" Psalms 118:24

2. Dress Up !! The best way to dress up is to put on a smile. A smile is an inexpensive way to improve your looks. "The Lord does not look at the things man looks at. Man looks at outward appearance; but the Lord looks at the heart." I Samuel 16:7

3. Shut Up!! Say nice things and learn to listen. God gave us two ears and one mouth, so He must have meant for us to do twice as much listening as talking. "He who guards his lips guards his soul." Proverbs 13:3.

4. Stand Up!!... For what you believe in. Stand for something or you will fall for anything.. "Let us not be weary in doing good; for at the proper time, we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good..." Galatians 6:9-10

5. Look Up !!... To the Lord. "I can do everything through Christ who strengthens me." Philippians 4:13

6. Reach Up !!... For something higher. "Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not unto your own understanding. In all your ways, acknowledge Him, And He will direct your path." Proverbs 3:5-6

7. Lift Up !!... Your Prayers. "Do not worry about anything; Instead PRAY ABOUT EVERYTHING." Philippians 4:6

WHAT A CUTE CRAZY HAT

It was crazy hat day at Masters Club and Amanda threw this assemble together in no time at all. I'm so proud of her for using her creative side to make something so cute and she didn't even consult the experts... Haggy & Baggy. Sorry Ladies maybe next time.

She used:

1. Papaw Roy's old hat

2. her awards she recieved at M.C.
