Sickness Be Gone!

Ahh, it's finally Spring Break and to be honest, it couldn't have come at a better time.  School was just wearing on and on and there has been a flu outbreak for the past two weeks so we have been short of teachers, help, and some days kids!  Trey tested negative for it one week and then positive for it last Thursday.  He didn't get the flu shot this year because he was sick on the day they gave it at school (remember the Thanksgiving Program we missed) and I never got around to getting it for him(epic parent fail!). Makena has had a touch of something too and missed about three days of school.  I thought I was in the clear and the Friday came.  I started getting sick, but was in big-time denial about it.  I mean if you got outside at all this weekend you know that it was a beauty.  Temps in the upper 70's, sunshine, and blue skies....so there was no way I was going to be sick!  I made it through most of Saturday and we went out to eat with my parents and grandparents at Dondie's.
It was sooo good!
 
  By this time time Trey had been fever free all day long and mine was just starting.  I know, this is so not like me, to go around spreading my germs!  Well, when we got home I went to bed and did not get out of it until Monday morning!  I haven't been down that long in a very long time.  I was so glad that Carl could watch the kids and it wasn't a work day.  As far as I know we are all better now. The nights are still rough (for me) but I am doing better throughout the days.   I'm still praying that Carl doesn't get it because he didn't get the shot either.  Carlie should be good to go, she's been on Tamiflu and had the mist :)  And, like always she's doing her best to stay away from germy people.  I wonder where she got it from?!

So now, I'm casting my spell, "Sickness Be Gone"!

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...
