- The wind is blowing... like blowing hard enough you need to hold onto your hats, wigs, and small children when walking outside. It hasn't rained in a long while. The sky is so dirty from the dried cow poo and freshly plowed dirt from the neighboring fields. I should be used to this from living in the Texas Panhandle for over eight years now, but I guess you never really get used to a sky filled with flying cow matter!
- My Nannie had surgery this morning to fix her blocked carotid artery. Things seemed to have gone smoothly!!! Our God is wonderFULL!
- I am in the process of giving up lots of my PTO responsibilities. I am a stay at home mom, because I want to stay at home with my kids. Being this is Ari's last year before he starts kindergarten I have decided to step back from the school and spend more uninterrupted time with my sweet boy! I will still volunteer my time and head up events, just not be present as much!
- The new show called "The Black List" is awesome. It is one of those sit on the edge of your seat shows. It's my favorite show since 24! I can't wait for that one to come back on in 2014.
- My little boy just randomly says "I love you" all throughout his day. He will make an amazing husband one day with his loving nature and hardworking personality. His favorite activity is to make everyone else laugh! He is good at it too!
- My little angel girl is brilliant. Her smarts impress me! Her teacher gives spelling words based on ability. So not all students in the class are on the same spelling words. Anika is on the hardest level and still only missed one on her first run through of the words. Her reading level is way above 2nd grade and she is very good in math! I am so proud of her hard work ethic. She is always well behaved and is always on the best color. I am super proud of that little tootie bear.
- I can tell I am getting old, because I am beyond excited about getting a new front door. =) Never knew that things like that would excite me so much.
- Every person you meet today probably has something going on in life that is not perfect. It may be a different challenge than the one you are facing. It may seem petty and small, but it could be huge to them. So, if a person is a little off or grumpy, don't assume they are just jerks. You never know what's going on with them in secret.
- My brother is awesome! He would do anything for me. He often tormented me as a kid, but as far as grown ups go he is one of the best around.
- I have lost 4 pounds since starting to workout again. May not seem like a TON, but to me it's a lot. Each pound is like prying my Ari off of his John Deere Tractor to go to bed... stubborn and unwilling to just go...
- Ari has learned 10 letter sounds in his beginning reading book. He can read 15 or so words now and is just chugging along.
- Anika is progressing in piano very well. She doesn't love to practice, but she loves to play and make up "her own" songs. She is currently playing Mickey Mouse Song, Jingle Bells, Brady Bunch, and The Bubble Gum Song. It's amusing to watch her play. She bops her head right along with the beat.
- I am am still reading Soul Detox. I am reading through it slowly to really let it all sink in. It is very very good and soul stirring. You should pick up a copy.
- I am also reading Made to Crave. A book about a woman's weight loss journey and how she finally succeeded with replacing her food craving with cravings for God. It seems pretty good and a real so far. I will keep you up to date.
- Miley Cyrus is one lost girl, but I really wish she could figure out Hollywood life and get her life back on track. She is very talented and I love her voice, but she needs some major Jesus in her life!
- The Civil Wars are my musical loves this week.
- Mary Magdalene was a great example to all of us Woman. She shows you that even Woman can do things for Jesus!
- I wanna go on a cruise sooooooo bad. Anyone wanna take me?
- Volunteers are next to impossible to find. I am seriously forlorn about how to get more volunteers to help with school PTO. No one wants to help and the ones that want too can't
won'tfind the time to give a few hours once a month.
- All people have tendencies that can cause harm to their souls. Addictions and addictive personalities can be past down in genes. Tendencies are just that though... We all have the power to overcome our addictions, because we have a friend called Jesus and an amazing God who can overcome the darkest of circumstances! Sexual promiscuity, alcohol, prescription drugs, food.... whatever it might be. We do not have to act on these tendencies.
- It's the season for pumpkin everything.... and I love it!
- I am done rambling. =) Have a great day and if you made it all the way to the end of this ever long list of nothingness.... you are a rock star!
-Holly
