Busy As A Bee!

Well the title says it all....I have been super busy this week.  I knew it would be hard to manage my time and making this school thing a new normal for me, but I didn't realize how unorganized I really am!  I finally broke down and bought a binder system to keep up with all of my stuff so it wouldn't just be laying around everywhere.  I'm still working on that!  My classes have taken up 2 to 3 hours a morning and I usually read for about an hour and a half at night, but I have a couple of really big things due in the next 2 weeks, so that might change :)   I think this will be a little easier once school is out....I might be wrong, but I can always hope.
The kids are winding down at school and we only go 3 1/2 days next week and then our graduation and closing program is Friday night at 7:30.  It's still up in the air as to if we will be going to the closing program...I probably will, I just don't want to!  I love hearing the girls sing, I just don't want to sit through graduation.  If you remember we had one of our seniors die in a car accident in February, and I know that graduation will be a little sad because of that. 
Oh, before I forget--the trial that was scheduled for yesterday was postponed because the loser guy is in rehab right now.  We found that out on Tuesday, and to be honest, it was the best news that I heard all week :)  I just want to say thank you for all of those of you who have/are praying for us (Carlie).  It means a lot to us to know that you care.  Don't stop yet!
I only have a couple of pictures to share for this week---like I said, I've been a busy little bee, and there was just simply no time to take pictures.

I took this picture of all the kids in their
red,white, and blue clothes for my mom.  It
 was actually taken last Friday!

My mom got the girls these cute flip-flops, called SwitchFlops!
They are so cool because you get to "switch" the design to one that
will match you clothes and they stick on with Velcro :)  Very cute
idea that has made someone millions, no doubt!  We are lovin' our
SwitchFlops---wish they made them in my size.


Trey fell in love with this Sponge Bob hat, which we did NOT
buy.  I was a little disturbed that he put it on his head, but since it
was already there, I took his picture.  See, I'm learning to "roll"
with stuff :)  Aren't you proud?!

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...
