Just an update.......





Yikes!!! It's been forever since I've blogged so I thought I would update. Here's some current pics of the kids that I've promised no telling how many people that I would post. Life's been busy and isn't stopping. Justin and I are going on year #7 as of July 7th!!! He took a two week vacation in July and for one week we went to Denton and vistied friends shopped at Grapevine Mills and Bass Pro Shop............ It was fun, but we had all the kids so it was still hectic.


The first weekend of this month I went to the Creative Memories National Convention in Minnesota and I practically came back home to a full calendar of events. I'm very excited about where my business is going right now, I just can't wait for Lachlan and Sidney to start Mother's Day Out again and get back to a normal routine. This will be Lachlan's first year to attend Mother's Day Out at Carpenter's Way. I dropped him in just occasionally last year and he did very well, so I'm very comfortable with sending him full time this year. Little Paisley will stay home with me, though. It will be nice to have some time with just her during those two days each week. The other two tend to take up all the attention, but I think their bored and ready to get out of the house some, anyway.


I will be temporarily teaching the youth sunday school class this fall. I'm looking forward to it, but a little nervous because I've never really taught a "sunday school" class, just small groups etc....... We are still looking for a part-time youth minister so if anyone knows of someone interested in the area, let me know!!!! I am also on the (Carpenter's Way) MOPS Steering team this year, too. I will be making the newsletter each month.


Whew........It's going to be a busy (school) year. Sidney's last year before Kindergarten, Lachlan will be finishing potty training, Paisley will start crawling, walking,and eating more foods, I will be working to promote from CM Senior Consultant to CM Unit Leader, as well as towards an incentive trip to Ireland in 2009!?! all along with the afore said responsibilities. Some how I'm going to have to make room for Justin, cleaning house, washing clothes, and cooking. With God all things are possible...........but He never said they are all probable, right??? I'll have to do the best I can and do the rest the next day. As crazy as it may sound, I'm looking forward to the rat race. I hate to have things hanging over my head, but it's been that way for so long that I'm constantly looking up and confused if I don't. In other words, I tend to thrive under pressure. I think it's good for me. Only time will tell. Keep me in your prayers.

The Changing of Seasons- The Growing Family is Growing UP!

I knew this time would come eventually; when my kids would discover their wings and start practicing for the day they fly away. The last few years with our big three kids have been like watching little birds jumping and fluttering above the nest. I'm not sure how bird families actually do it but for us, this fluttering gives them a taste of what is beyond the nest. They long to experience and explore life outside the bundle of twigs, but they aren't quite ready to go on their own. As a parent, we must offer to take them, help them understand and navigate the world around them, and eventually they will be ready to explore and manage life on their own. I didn't anticipate this sort of thing to happen with all three big kids at the same time, but it has in a way. I'm so grateful for how God has led and provided for them all and pray for the grace and strength to lead and guide them well through these transitioning years. Before I get into the personal details, I have to st

Why I think I'm ADD and shouldn't have to take a test to find out

I went to a psychologist, Dr. Sid Epperson, today to see about getting tested for ADD. My family Doctor referred me to him. The following happenings and situations should prove that I have ADD and do not need a test to tell me this....... -My appt. was at 1:00 and they told me to get there early. I planned to leave my house at 12:40 and didn't walk out the door until 12:50 and then still had to go back inside to get my phone which I could not find and ended up being under the sheets on my bed... yes, I made the bed with my phone in it. So, I didn't actually leave until 12:56. -I had to call on the way to find out where they were located b/c, no, I hadn't even done THAT yet.......ugh!!!!! Luckily I knew right where it was and it wasn't too far away. -I have no clue what time it was when i walked in the door and they just put me straight back and let me fill out my paper work afterwards (since I was late, obviously). It didn't even cross my mind to tell them on

Things that bother me or that I simply don't like

-most all church signs (message boards) -local commercials (they are always corny, low budget and usually contain an inside joke that only the workers of the company would understand) -most fruity candy, I prefer chocolate -unsweet cornbread -unsweet tea -rootbear, yuck (Justin and Sidney love it and I think it smells like nasty medicine) -Larry the cable guy and his famous phrase "Get -r done" -A street in North Texas named "Coit" ( It makes my teeth cringe to say it) -The name of a business in Denton called "Shax's" (for some reason that always bothered me. -when people ask me a question with no intention of listening to the answer and start talking before I'm done answering (I'm trying to be aware of doing this myself since it bothers me so much) -domino's pizza -square meat, you know what I'm talking about -most country music -Raisin cookies, there supposed to be chocolate chips...so disappointing -Sugar cookies that look like peanu
