Because I can't come up with anything else...

Outside my window::: A beautiful sunny day. The backyard is green and beautiful. We have light pink roses on one side of the yard and honeysuckle on the other side. I'm thankful I don't have allergy problems!

I am thinking:::About my daddy. He is in the hospital and doing good but I haven't been to see him and I'm feeling guilty and sad about it.

I am thankful for::: So much. My daddy's health, my mom going back to work after such a terrible time in March and April. The house I live in and the people that allow it. My husband and my kids.

From the school room::: Finishing up! Friday could be our last day. I can't believe it really. With all that this year has thrown at us we are finishing earlier than normal!

From the kitchen:::Nothing. Friends are coming over for dinner tonight and they are bringing it with them! How great is that?

I am wearing::: Khaki capris, blue t-shirt and socks (of course)

I am creating::: A list of the school books I will need next year. The homeschool convention is coming up in a couple of weeks and I need to get things in order.

I am going::: To New Orleans in June. The Southern Baptist Convention is there this year and Stephen and I are going. We are excited!

I am reading::: I am actually between books right now, finished one last night and haven't started one yet this morning. I do read Jesus Calling daily. It is a great devotional book, it really is a must have!

I am hoping::: To get to Goodwill today. I just know there is a bargain there I need to grab.

I am hearing::: An X-box baseball game, sounds of David shooting his gun, Daniel humming and the dryer drying. Anna is quiet, not a worry now that she's 8!

Around the house::: Toilets are cleaned, floors are mopped, dusting needs to be done

One of my favorite things::: The tooth fairy remembered to give Anna money for her lost tooth. Daniel pulled it for her and then lost it when he was rinsing it off in the sink. She didn't think the tooth fairy would visit because there was no tooth. But she was wrong, and I didn't forget!

A few plans for the rest of the week: Lunch with a couple of friends a couple of days this week. Clean up day at Liberty this weekend.

A Blind Date & Leaving Comments

8 years ago today I met this sweet man in the picture above. We met on a blind date in the Bluff City (aka- Memfrica). He and I were simply going out to shut up his stepmother and my sister, who had decided that we were meant to be together from one simple fridge photo and a dog named Abby. Little did we know they would be able to pat themselves on the back for the rest of their lives . I am so glad we both agreed to go out for that one date on New Years Eve 2001 because I have had him in my life everyday since that crazy night at my cousin Hollye's back door when he arrived to pick me up to find a baby on my hip that he thought was mine. I remember those beautiful blue eyes and how they about popped out of his head as he stood at the door wondering why no one had mentioned my child. That baby on my hip was Claire. She was 1 then and had just gone number 2 in her diaper right before he rang the bell. She had Styrofoam all over her and me from playing in Christmas boxes. Needless t

All Aboard The Birthday Polar Express

  Can you believe Henry Patton will be 4 years old tomorrow?! Neither can we. We celebrated his birthday last weekend with his first all boy party, polar express style. I had so much fun preparing for it, as you can probably tell! My mother who is never at a loss for words said it looked like Polar Express threw up in my house. She was SO right and we loved it! We had a breakfast pajama party with 7 three and four year old boys. It was such a fun time.   I had his pajamas monogrammed with a train and his name. He loved them and I liked how they sort of looked like the ones on the movie. Henry loved all the bells I had everywhere. There is no doubt we believe at this house. We had the jingle loud and proud!   I had his invitation made from a shop on Etsy and I was very pleased with them. One of his little friends came to the door ready for me to punch his ticket. It was so cute. I ran to get a hole punch and punched it for him. Every good party has to have go
