In 9 Months......

It hit me like a ton of bricks the other night that in 9 short months my baby will start Kindergarten!!  He got up in the middle of the night to get in our bed, which he hardly does, and when I asked him why he was in my room he said, "I just wanted to sleep with you" (in his sweetest little voice).  Of course I said yes, and as he was lying there beside me, breathing his morning breath in my face, I started thinking of how he is going to start school soon and that made me really sad.  The process of letting go, even if it's just a little, is about to begin. I told him the other day that he was going to have to start going to bed without his TV on because when he started school he couldn't do that and he turned to me and said, "It's not tomorrow, Mom!" 

Anyway, I got this idea from Amanda at Baby Bangs, only mine is an abbreviated interview with my T:

1.  What is something that Mommy always says to you?
      T:  Clean my room.
2.  What makes Mommy happy?
     T:  When I'm good.
3.  How does Mommy make you laugh?
     T:  tell me knock-knock jokes!
4.  How old is Mommy?
     T:  I don't know, 8?
5.  What is Mommy's favorite thing to do?
     T:  Clean the house
6.  What is Mommy good at?
     T:  Cleaning the house!
7.  What is Mommy not good at?
      T:  driving the 4-wheeler like Daddy.
8.  What is Mommy's favorite food?
     T:  Spaghetti and Chili
9.  What makes you proud of Mommy?
     T:  making my bed
10.  What do you and Mommy do together?
       T:  Go to the Library and get books
11.  Where is Mommy's favorite place to go?
       T:  Nanny's house

His answers cracked me up!!  I guess maybe I'm a little OCD on the cleaning....you'd think my house would be the cleanest house on Earth!!  And how sweet it is to know that I'm 8 years old, but I guess that seems old to him :)  And as much as I love going to visit my Mom (Nanny), that is more than likely HIS favorite place to go!
Oh how I plan to cherish these next nine months!

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...
