Jeremy is gone to Wsshington D.C. for the new co. I miss him a lot. The kids of course miss him too and are taking full advantage of him being gone. It is true that you never really appreciate what your spouse does for you and with you until they are on a trip. He is definitely my other half, my better half at that. We are a team in every since of the word. It is hard to do the day to day stuff when half of your team is missing.

1. Who is the better cook, you or your spouse? Jeremy is the better cook. This might surprise some people but it is true.

2. How often do you talk to your mom?

3. Are you adventurous in the kitchen or stick to the recipe? I am strictly a recipe person when I do cook.

4. Is your second toe longer than your big toe?Yes, what does that mean?

5. Do you dress up for Halloween? (Bonus question: What will you be this year?)Nope.

1. I am glad I got to spend time with Noelle today,even if all we did was sleep!

2. I wish I was a better person...God is still working on me.

3. I like lazy fall days, spending time with my family, reading.

4. I can listen to my kids laughter for the rest of my life!

5. I hope that one day our children will understand that we have tried to raise them the way God would have us to.

6. I think Jeremy is the best thing that ever happened to me.

7. I was just trying to get home so Jeremy could feel better.

BAD DAY

What started out as a great day quickly went down hill... We went to our church's fall festival at the land, great fun,games,food,fellowship,music etc. Shelby and I had to leave early because I had to drop her off at a bday party. So we went home, she changed clothes and then we left. So as I got into town I was headed down VP and discovered I needed to get into turning lane(party was at different location than I thought) so I turned on my blinker and looked over my shoulder..In the distance I could see a beige car approaching but I had plenty of time to get over or so I thought. As I headed over to the next lane the beige car and I collided on my side of the car. Shelby said she could hear the car swoosh by, I think the lady was speeding trying to make the turn signal before the light changed however the police said it was my fault. In the end everyone was okay and that is all that matters. My shoulder is giving me trouble,pain,can't lift my arm up all the way, but i think it is just the muscles and nothing the chiropractor can't help. All in all... I feel stupid,shoulder hurts,bad day.

G is for GIRLS

GOODBYE DEAR FRIEND

On Monday my family said goodbye to a dear friend of ours. Our friend and brother in Christ, Mr.Lloyd Bailey died last thursday of a sudden and massive heart attack.Monday was his funeral. It was hard, though we know where he is it was sudden to us, right on time to God. Mr.Lloyd was friend to all. My kids loved him, everyone did. I have memories of walking in our church nursery to get Nathan and he would be curled up asleep on Mr.Lloyd's shoulder. Later Nathan would grow to look for Mr.Lloyd whenever the kids walked by he would say hey in this really deep voice. they loved that. He loved everyone and we loved him. It was sad to see his wife, Ms.Peggy as she tried to grieve for a man she thought she had many years left with and had lost so suddenly. He was not sick, he just had a heart attack and that was it. So on Thursday of last week we lost a good man and heaven gained an angel. We love you Mr.Lloyd and you will be greatly missed.

OUR FIRST DATE

On this very night sixteen years ago I was on my first date with Jeremy. We went to the homecoming game at Manchester High School first followed by the dance. It was our junior year. That night I knew then as I still know now that I would spend the rest of my life with him. Now a lot of people thought that was silly then, after all I was only 17 how could I possibly know that. To that I say I just knew. God just whispered in my ear this is him. I just felt it. Yes a lot of it was teenage hormones, A LOT! LOL! But I just knew. It feels like that night was just yesterday, a blink of the eye away. Yet sometimes it feels like a lifetime. It is amazing.

SICK OF BEING SICK!
I am sick of being sick! I am currently dealing with yet another round of ear infections and sinus infection. I am waiting to go my dr.'s appt. in atl. on Tues. I am probably looking at another surgery to irrigate my right joint and but meds in it. At this point I don't care I'm just tired of hurting!!

Thursday, September 30, 2010

The time is..10:47pm
Today I feel..yuck
I am thinking.. it is about time I started feeling better.
At the moment, I am thankful.. for a quiet house!
I am going..to bed to read and hopefully sleep soon.
I am wearing..a t-shirt and blue jeans.
I wish..I could get well.
I am reading..The Cool Woman.
I am working on..finishing Donna's blanket, thinking about making some scarfes soon!
I am hoping..to have some family time this weekend.
I am hearing..the t.v.
I bet you didn't know.. that tmj is non-cureable and that I will have to deal with it for the rest of my life
One of my favorite..things to do is to read!

Weekend Plans..
[Thursday] Relax

This week has been exhausting.. so much going on. Nathan started bball and Sydney started pep club(little cheerleaders). So we are now in the land of practice and games.
It is cute to see how excited they get but boy is our schedule packed!

Braves

Went to my first Braves game ever on Sunday, first for the kids too. Jeremy had been before but it had been a long time ago. We went with our church youth group and we had a blast! Afterwards we stayed for the Kutless concert, it was okay. I like most of their music, some of it too loud or maybe I am just getting old.... Nah, it was just too loud..LOL!

Exhausted

Went school shopping today for Shelby and Noah, they have to have so many things for middle school it's ridiculous. Binders for each class, dividers etc,etc, then had to go to three different stores to find crayons and markers for Sydney and Nathan, Sydney's bible was on sale at Lifeway reg $27.99 got it for $13.99! I was so happy. I'm not even going to share how much I have spent on supplies alone between the four of them so far. Not to mention we haven't even started on clothes yet! UGghhh!!
But praise God we can afford our supplies, others can't so no more complaining for me. Just crazy days ahead until the first day of school! Let the journey begin...

Noah

Today my baby boy turned eleven years old! Wow,, where did the time go? I find myself asking that question a lot lately. Is it just because I'm getting older? Is time really going by faster? I still remember the day I went into labor with him just like it was yesterday. It really seems that way. No longer is he a little boy or a kid, he is now officially a preteen. Which I don't like at all. He's heading into middle school which is going to be rough waters, already he will barely hug me in public. He will still snuggle with me on the couch, ah hang onto the little things while I can. I love my little boy.

Forgiveness

Forgiveness is a hard thing, sometimes we spend days, weeks, months, years, holding onto hurts that we just can't seem to let go of. There are some hurts that cut so deep, to the very marrow of who you are that you think it will never heal you wonder, God will this just hurt forever- then some you realize the person was just having a bad day or it wasn't intentional they meant no harm- those are easy to forgive. But the bone deep ones you havg onto you waste precious time of your life that you cant get back on unforgiveness but then it's hard isn't it because you see it does hurt and it does suck the very life out of you when someone reaches in and rips your heart out. But when the walls are finally broken down and you finally let go man it's like a tone of bricks have been lifted off of your shoulders. And you know that the Holy Spirit was in control the whole time because he sent you up that hill and across that yard and had you ring that bell. And in the end it was all just a misunderstanding and now now the healing really begins......

Truth

Sometimes it's hard to tell the truth. It can be really hard when it's someone you love. So I recently had to tell someone that I love dearly the truth as I see it and I know it hurt to hear,but it was said with the utmost love and gentleness. I have some things to work through with this person but I know we will make it through.

EKG

On Thursday morning I woke up with chest pains, they were coming every ten to fifteen seconds. I was scared. So I called the dr and he said come in and get an ekg done,very scared as i was on my way in. So he did the ekg and all was fine, then he got to poking around on my chest and the cartledge around my chest wall hurt very badly when he pushed on it. So turns out I have a virus in there and that's what is causing the chest pain, so =take motrin 3times a day and in a week i should feel better. Still feels weird, and is hard to take, makes me nervous.

Kidless

Yesterday around 5pm Jeremy and I found ourselves kidless for the first time since Sydney was a baby it was weird. Everybody spent the night at someone else's house. Shelby and Sydney went to Aunt Noelle's, Nathan went Joena's, and Noah is out of town with Denver's family at Wild Adventures. We went to eat at Chili's and then went to open mic night at church. It's the first time we've done it and it was really coool! Everyone who could and wanted to sang, it was an awesome and wonderful time of fellowship and worship! Way cool! Can't wait til the next one!

Ears

I have had an ear infection for almost three weeks now, it is truly annoying. Not to mention painful. For the past week I have had double ear infection plus sinus infection basically felt like I needed to be in bed for a week but um that's not happening around my house. Still on most of my meds so I am praying it will go away this time.

Camp

Noah is back from Big kids church camp today, i am glad. I missed him, plus I was worried because he did not have a good experience last year. This year he had a much better time. I am glad for him. He was giggling through story after story of fun he was telling me about. I love that my children get to have these experiences. I never went to any kind of church camp growing up. He went on and on about the pastor there and how awesome he was. And how awesome the praise band leader was. I love that he got the chance to grow closer to God and I love that these people use their gifts to teach the gospel to children in a way that will stay with them. Noah will not soon forget this. So glad he got to go, so glad to have him home.

I don't know what to call this..Just hurt I guess. Found out Monday my Dad's divorce is final and has been for a couple of months now. Of course he didn't tell me because he thinks I have enough to deal with of my own. Prob true but I worry about my dad he tends to keep stuff inside, he is not getting younger. 58 this year lots of stress on him the past three years. Cathy pretty much left him for someone else is what i think, after 18 years of marriage. she was seeing this guy before the divorce was final, that's pretty obivious uuugggg so frustrating makes me want to slap her not what God would have me do would just seperate me from Him and she wouldn't care so not worth it. She fights with this guy all the time, go figure leave a marriage of 18years because you are fighting and no longer get along to go fight with someone else you've only known for a little while. If you are reading this sorry but i need to vent and this is the way I'm choosing this time, unlucky you. She tells my sister that everyone can't have as good a relationship as my sister and her boyfriend. my sister is 17!! yeah the woman needs to grow up! and she wonders why i don't want anything to do with her. Lord help me to see her through your eyes, is my prayer lately.

Children

Children are so innocent. They come into the world and they love freely, they give freely, they don't think about what other look about, they don't hold grudges and then they grow up. Then it seems like we spend the rest of our lives trying to learn those things all over again. Hmmm.... I wonder when do we lose these things,when do we begin to see others through filtered eyes, and put conditions on our love ,on our gifts. Just something to think about.

Allan

Today I was very concerned about Allan, he is my good friend Sheila's husband, i have known them for years. Prob since Noah was a baby. Allan got hurt in a gun accident. Had surgery today, was scheduled for 430, didn't go in until 720, we don't know why. It was scary his blood count had gotten low and he was in much pain despite the morphine he was on. Once they got him to surgery all went well it only took half the time they told Sheila it would take. I am so thankful, I think that's when things caught up with her. God had him in His hands the whole time. Which I knew so why am I surprised?

Youth Camp

Recently, Shelby left and went to youth camp for the first time. She went to a camp called Snowbird. She has not been the same since she returned... At camp on of their outreach or missions was to go to a nursing home and just visit the people there. Shelby loved this, she told me about how cute one of the ladies was and how they painted the women's fingernails and story after story of the different people she talked to while she was there. As I looked at my daughter I could see a change in her, a light that i had not seen before, a passion in her eyes, a glow about her. She had a ball, my Shelby who I never thought would do such things as plunging 90ft down a mt. harnessed in a three man swing, go down a souped up zip line, go white water rafting down the Nantahala river in NC, Jump in a whirlpool(yes i said a whirlpool!) climb what basically amounts to an obstacle course all the way up a mountain, a real one, not what we people around here in GA call mts. So many things she did and learned not just physically but most importantly spiritually. She never ceases to amaze me.

Blog

It's hard for me to keep up with this blog sometimes. I write in my journal but I forget to put things up on here, plus I forgot my password. So I got a new one. My goal is to start blogging once a week. I love reading Noelle's blog and I know it must be frustrating to her that mine never changes. But more importantly writing/journaling is good for me, it feeds my soul. I can't explain it. You either are or aren't one of those people. So I have many things to catch up on....

I am tired of the crud... can't seem to get it to go away. My head hurts, my throat hurts, I'm tired all the time.
Though I was miserable, I had a great weekend. We went to see Aaryan on Friday, it was hard for me to drive but it was worth it. Saturday, I wasn't sure I was going to make it back up Saturday to pick up shelby. Fell asleep waiting for Noah to be ready to be picked up from denver's house. As I drove I started to feel a little better. Went to Noelle's to get shelby and wait for Jer to come in from hiking on the trail. She was doing laundry so we just hung out and talked. I felt horrible by then. Jer came in and
I was ready to go right then. We went home and I went to bed.
Didn't make it to church, I slept till almost 12. then laid around all day. today is a little better.

Divorce

Divorce is hard. That's just all there is to it. Hard on everyone involved. My dad is in the middle of one right now. So hard to see him go through something like this. I can here the loneliness in his voice. So hard to hear him that way. He stays at fire dept. until he can't keep his eyes open, then he goes home and gets in the bed. Because he can't stand to be in an empty house. Breaks my heart, makes me soo sad, I can't fix it but I know who can. MY Heavenly Father. Thank you Lord.

Shelby

Shelby had her first soccer game tonight. She is playing for the schools middle school soccer team which is a big deal. She played middle field, I have no idea what that means anyway her dad said she did great at passing the ball to her teammates apparently that is her job in this position. Her dad went to the game I was sick, Noah was sick and it was an hour and a half away. They won the game 6to0.
It was a special time for her and her daddy, after the game they went out to eat with the team. They had a great bonding time together.

Sick

It's been a long time since I've been this sick. I have vertigo, it is misrable, dizzy, nauseous, room spins. It's awful. So tired of being sick. Trying to recover from jaw surgery and now this. ugghh

33

Turning 33 was not that big of a deal for me. I am blessed. I had another year to love,laugh,cry,live,hurt,grow closer to God, closer to friends, closer to family, watch my children grow into who God would have them be,love my husband more and to just be. Thank you God!
I also had some sadness this time, my emotions were raw, remembering my aunt and having to put her to rest on my birthday two years ago. remembering that I missed my grandmother's funeral. Just some over all sadness. but I am blessed with such a wonderful family. My family took me to Cracker Barrel for supper, it was nice and later Jeremy bought me a cake and we all had cake together. they sang to me.
On Sunday my dad called and said he wanted to come see me for my birthday. That made me feel so special. We had made plans to take the kids to flat rock after the awana's race at church so he met us there. We walked around on the rocks and talked about when he used to bring me as a kid, it was fun to go down memory lane with him. The kids played on the playground and had fun on the rocks. they loved having their poppa there and so did I. I miss my dad a lot, ironic because I now see him more than I ever have. I worry about him, I don't like the fact that he is alone so much of the time now. I worry about him, he is getting older and I don't like it. I love him now more than ever. I am so glad that we have this new relationship now, I have been looking forward to this my whole life and I am enjoying it!

Rascal Flatts

I can't wait until Friday!!! I get to see Rascal Flatts in concert at the civic center, it's my bday present. Donna is going with me, we are going to make it a girls weekend! I think I will hang out with her on Friday-concert is at 8pm and hang out sat too. Think maybe we will hit some thrift stores and antique shops. Been looking forward to a girls weekend for so long, i can't wait!

So much going on

It's been so long since I've blogged, I actually miss it! There's just something about getting my thoughts out, don't know how to explain-it's theraputic though. Things have been so crazy lately. I think the surgery helped, still some lingering pain but not near as much as I had. hopefully the rest will go away soon. Have to call the Dr. today and schedule post op/ that should be tons of fun!
