Our Weekend

This, folks, is what we get in
Southeast AR: 100 percent ICE!!
The girls at Red Lobster

The Boys at Red Lobster

Saturday after all the laundry was caught up, all the kids had been fed, and I FINALLY got a shower, we decided to take a road trip to Pine Bluff. We hit the mall (mainly Dillard's), Lowe's, and Red Lobster. We had a great day of being out of our house. I think that if we would've spent one more day in that house we would have killed each other!
To all you girls who have or are about to have sweet, precious little girls this is what you are in for: big girls with BIG ATTITUDES!!! If you didn't notice in our picture of "the girls" above, Carlie isn't exactly smiling. She was mad about something and being very uncooperative. Had someone told me that she could turn into such a little monster when she was a cute little baby, I probably would have said, "Not my child". Watch what you say people, you WILL eat crow. Your child will NOT be perfect. There will be times that you want to walk away from them in a store, when you want to say "Not the Momma"! She will be 10 in November, and man, I'll tell you right now, I'm not looking forward to the teen years ahead. She can be such a little angel one minute and then BAM! Makena has gotten so spoiled (since her surgery) that she has been throwing fits and stomping every time she doesn't get her way. Thankfully, we had minimal outbursts on Saturday:)
Sunday we had our 5Th Sunday services at our church which includes eating after morning worship and then having a time of singing before we dismiss for the day. After we got home I was extremely sick at my stomach. I still don't feel well. I have three beautiful blisters on my mouth and one in my nose. I know, TMI.
We went to DeWitt tonight looking for the "right" TV. Carl has been set on a TV for months now, and now that it is time to get one he is dragging his feet on the deal! Just get one for goodness sake!! I sent him to Wal-Mart the other night to get a DVD player, a simple DVD player. He comes home with a DVD player with surround sound speakers....we had a few words.
I'll be the first to admit, I love the surround sound, but don't tell him!!
Makena has an appointment at ACH tomorrow for her eyes. I'm just praying that he will go ahead and do the surgery to correct her problem. It should be a simple outpatient surgery to tighten the muscles in her left eye. We've been going to see him every 6 months for a year and a half now, I'm not sure what he's waiting on, but I think it's time to make a decision on this!
So that's what we did/have been doing during our winter weather. Hope you were all safe and had a great weekend:)

Monday Morning Chit-Chat

  Happy Monday, friends! Well, here we are again. Another Monday morning, another fresh week, and another cup of coffee that I'm hoping will magically give me the energy to accomplish all the things on my to-do list. Spoiler alert: It probably won't. But I'm going to drink it anyway. I thought we would start this week with a little old-fashioned chit-chat. Nothing too serious, nothing life changing. Just a little catching up on life lately, a few random thoughts, and whatever else happens to pop into my head. you know, the kind of conversation we'd have if you stopped by my house, pulled up a chair, and stayed a while. So grab your coffee (or whatever gets you going in the morning), and let's visit. First things first...it's October! This year is absolutely flying by. I love this time of year. The cozy evenings, the fall decorations, the soups and comfort foods, and the excuse to stay home in my pajamas a little longer. Now if Arkansas could just get the memo t...

What's Up Wednesday

 Happy What's Up Wednesday! Today I am linking up with  Shay  and  Sheaffer  for another "What's Up Wednesday" Let's do this! What we're eating this week... So far this week we have made: Wings on the Pit Boss Slow Cooker Pineapple Pork Chops You can't get any easier than wings and chops! Especially when they are on the grill and slow cooker!! What I'm Reminiscing About... Septembers past: September is Trey's birth month. It is also the month that my grandpa died four years ago. This is the year that Papa gave Trey a gun for his birthday. He was so proud to give it to Trey and you can tell by the look on Trey's face how happy he was. Such a sweet moment to remember. Our county fair is also in September. My kids used to love it when they were younger. They still love rides, just not the traveling kind :) This was Wrenley's school picture last year. She has grown so much in one year :) What I'm Loving... Makena and my mom have started mak...

Be Her: When Our Ideal Self Becomes an Idol

 Ella Langley's "Be Her" got me thinking about something I think a lot of women struggle with- the woman we think we should be.  You know her. She's more disciplined. More confident. More put together. She exercises, keeps the house clean, reads her Bible every morning, never loses her patience, and somehow always has good hair. We tell ourselves, If I could just be her..... And there's nothing wrong with wanting to grow. But what happens when the woman we want to become turns into an idol? Sometimes we become so focused on our ideal self that we forget to ask God who He wants us to become. There's a subtle difference between praying, "Lord, make me more like Christ," and saying, "Lord, help me to become the woman I've decided I need to be." One is surrender. The other can easily become control.  Philippians 1:6 reminds us that He which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ. God isn't waiting fo...
