Mid-Week Update

Happy Hump Day Bloggers!!  Our busy week here is in full swing and headed on the downhill now!  We had our first "away" game in basketball last night.  It was at the public school gym in Stuttgart and went pretty well.  We still lost, but we played a much better game and the girls seemed to have a really good time!


FUN, FUN, FUN!!

I got a little ahead of myself, let me go back to Monday.  Monday we had Parent Teacher Conference at school in the morning (all three kids had all A's!) and then we had basketball practice from 3 to 4 that afternoon.  Tuesday was back to work/school (even Carl finally went back!) and then a ball game at 6:15.  Today the kids and I went to school and Carl stayed at home and cleaned!  That's right, he didn't have to work because it was too cold.  Let me just say that I love my husband to the moon and back, but if he doesn't go back to work soon, I'm going to go NUTS! 
 Anyway, tonight we had Discovery at church and finally made it back home around 8:15.  Before church tonight our constable came by and told us that we have a court date on Friday morning because the loser that broke in our house appealed his 90 day sentence!  I just want it to be over already.  I thought it was over and I surely didn't want to drag that mess from last year into the New Year.  I guess it's time to get this settled now. 
On top of all of this, I started getting sick last night.  At first I thought it was just because I screamed so loud at the game, but it has slowly gotten worse and I started running a little fever.  I remember  this happening to me in High School.  Every time I would have a super busy week, whether it be with football games, marching contest, concert contest, or exams, I would always end up getting sick. The stress really does make me ill!!  Carlie and Trey are getting it too :(  I hope we make through the rest of the week without crashing since we have two more games to get through and a trip to Morrilton. 
I wouldn't have it any other way, though :)

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...
