One of my friends wrote this, and I am astonished to see how they fit me as well. This is a friend that I have known for 16 years, although we are not very close, we are close in heart. I am happy to find that we are better friends than I expected at the time we lived close to each other...she is precious...
1 I'm becoming less of a middle child as I grow up
2 Baking relaxes me
3 I love to watch chimney swifts fly in circles
4 Some days I don't like children
5 God has a purpose for me and I want to be smack dab in the middle.....
6 Something evil inside me is happy when others gain weight too
7 Sometimes I get up in the middle of the night and drink tea from my fine china
8 Home is my favorite place but I do LOVE adventure
9 I could play ping pong for hours
10 My husband still gets me after 27 years
11 Give me a challenge!
12 When I close my eyes at night I see colors that I've never seen before
13 I deeply love my family
14 I'm thinking of painting my kitchen.....again
15 One of the best moments of my life was spent washing stinky feet
16 I turn 48 years old tomorrow and I still feel young.....most of the time.

comments from Emy
She is playing in her first soccer game of the season and I (of course) am cheering here on from the sidelines. One time, as an opponent was kicking the ball in, and Emy was standing right in front of me, I took the opportunity to "parent coach" her. I know, all you coaches out there are disgusted right now..."Leave the coaching to us..., come on lady" anyway, as she stood in front of me I couldn't resist... "Em, you have to go after the ball and get it!" and she turns and looks at me and says "Mama, I already did that once." Then, (coach) what do you say to that???? It was like she really thought that was enough. So ....is it enough?

on a serious note
Someone came to me the other day, and (i think) they were complimenting me on my outlook in life. IN GENERAL I am a very upbeat, glass is half full, kind of girl.
She said "Do you ever have a bad day?"
um, hello.
Yes,
I said, everyday is a bad day.
Everyday that I spend on this earth with my sinful nature is a bad day.
Everyday.
Everyday I am prideful.
Everyday.
Everyday I hurt one of my children's feelings!
Everyday.
Everyday I think more about myself than anything/anyone else.
Everyday.
Everyday I brush past people who need a hello, or more, from me.
Everyday.
I can only make everyday by the grace and mercy and love of Jesus. Cling to the promises.
"Better is one day in your courts, better is one day in your house, better is one day in your courts than thousands elsewhere!"

the days rush by
WOW
It has been a long time since the last post!
Well, I was miserably sick this whole last week... I HATE being sick. I hate feeling sick and acting sick and when I am trying to talk to someone and snot is everywhere, or I am laughing and a big gunk of chest yucky stuff comes up.... I just hate being sick. And on top of that so many things going on this week!!!
My blogging may end up taking a back seat, I am just sooooo busy!
I am trying to keep the kids organized and myself organized and Spanish classes in order and cheerleading "un-drama-ed" (impossible feat)...so you can see the complications.
Homework for 3rd graders sucks!!!! I am seriously disturbed by the amount of homework Mac has. It is unreal. And they do this thing called the "Riggs Program" at his school and it is the mother of all hard things...I don't even like it/understand it. We struggle with this every night!!!
This whole week, we had the most lovely weather.... gorgeous cool mornings and sunny days, but only about 85 instead of the 100 degrees...so very nice here.
