The Post I've Been Putting Off

Well, I guess today is the day that I post the post I have been putting off for over a month. It should be a fun post about Carlie's first formal event, Spring Celebration. It was a weekend that changed a lot for her and me.  You see, back in the fall she had a friend ask her to this event. She just assumed they were still going together even though he didn't mention it again. So mid February she asked him about it and he acted like he had forgotten about it, but said they would go together. Over a period of about 5 or 6 weeks, he seemed to tell everyone that he didn't want to go with her....everyone except her. His sister was even going around telling it.  When she confronted him about it, he said they were lying....whatever. I told her to tell him they were NOT going together. He hasn't spoken two words to her since, and to add insult to injury, her "best friend", Hannah posted pictures on Instagram about how she had such a great weekend with him! Now, no they were not together, but Carlie was as confused as I was about why she would do that. They were supposed to be friends, and now here she is being hurtful. I can't for they life of me understand. We have come to the conclusion that she is just bipolar. For the next 4 to 5 weeks Carlie never knew which "friend" would show up: the best friend who wanted to talk to her, or the other one who seemed to ignore her completely.
The girl has issues. I just hate it for Carlie that her Freshman year is ending this way. Now she seems to be black-balled at school...you know, when the boy is the High School teacher's son, things get complicated. Kids want to please adults...get the picture?!
So you may ask, why document this? Well, because this is our scrapbook. Our lives are not just fun and smiles all of the time. In fact, this year has been super trying at school for 3 of the 4 of us (me, Carlie, and T). Every year at the end of school I always debate if we will go back the next school year, and every year, fear overcomes me about homeschooling and we re-apply. This year we are not going back. We will homeschool. I have prayed about this for a while now. I've had other people praying about it too.
 
Here are some pictures from Spring Celebration.  Carlie looked beautiful and I am very proud of her!

Me and my girl.  I look completely like crap.  It was a long stressful day to say the least!
 
My girls!

Friday Favorites

  Happy Friday, friends! Today I'm linking up with  Andrea  and  Erika  for another Friday favorites. And here they are in no particular order: Last week our preacher told us that he had a surprise for us next week.  I had honestly forgotten about it until Carl mentioned at lunch on Sunday.  Trey said he knew what it was, but he wasn't telling.  It still didn't occur to me what it could be until we arrived at church on Sunday night, and I saw that Trey had a notebook along with his Bible sitting next to him on our pew.  It was him. Trey was the surprise.  He gave a short devotion before our Business Meeting.  He did well, considering it was his first time.  He said the congregation was a lot scarier when you are the one being stared at! This is a big deal because about 7 months ago he realized that he needed Jesus as his Savior.  And that came after about 7 months of me worrying about him, while he was trying to stretch hi...

Friday Favorites

  Today I'm linking up with  Andrea  and  Erika  for the first Friday Favorites of 2025! Over the past three weeks, I have thoroughly enjoyed getting to spend more time with Wrenley. She is growing up so much. She is speaking in full sentences and is a clown to boot! We've enjoyed lots of naps in BeBe's bed, playing with baby dolls (one of her favorite things), and since I have to pick her up before 7 a.m. on the days she stays with me, we enjoy getting her favorites: donuts (nonuts) and hotcakes from McDonald's -not at the same time though! Snug as a bug in a rug! She loves her Ky Ky Another favorite is a clean kitchen! We have had our house in a bit of chaos like I'm sure everyone else has with all the holiday festivities (and with Carl being off). I am glad to have everything in its proper place! That ray of sunshine is therapy for my soul! The next thing on my favorites list is Carl's chili. We had it last night and will probably have leftovers for a few day...

Friday Favorites

 Happy January 74th! Ok but really, why does January seem to go on FOREVER?! Today I am linking up with  Andrea  and  Erika  for Friday Favorites! This was definitely a favorite moment from this week!  Our 47th President, Donald J. Trump! Since Monday was also MLK day, I had the pleasure of watching sweet Wrenley.  Celebrating my niece, Ellie Kate's 15th birthday was definitely a favorite! I also watched Wrenley on Wednesday because she was a little under the weather. She had fun playing and getting lots of ice cream and popsicles! Wrenley will always be my favorite. On this day she wanted to "work" like BeBe. She's so precious, even with her little bedhead! Good Music is a favorite. Play some old-school country music and we are golden :) My favorite meal this week. It seems like forever since I made a home-cooked meal! Cajun baked chicken, corn (because Trey loves corn), broccoli, mashed potatoes with white gravy, and rolls were on the menu, and every...
