Christmas Music and Coffee!

      Well it is that time again. I have not blogged in over a week and I have lots to blog about just have not known where to start. So this one I will start here. Let me tell you at this moment I am sitting here sipping a cup of coffee and listening to Christmas music….yes, you heard it from my mouth. No kids, relaxing! Wow not very often I am with no kids. Now I admit I should be sweeping and mopping and cleaning but you know that will have to wait for now. So Christmas music…yes, that is what I said and I know it is early but hey I am glad for it. So brings me to the Holidays…..Happy Thanksgiving all my beautiful friends. This is the time of year we remind ourselves over and over what we are thankful for. I like to be thankful all the time but so do most of you…It just comes out more this time of year. So I am thankful for each of you. I have said it before whether in my 1,2,or 3rd basket of friends you are all special to me and hold a very special place in my heart. I am thankful for each and every one of you and you all bring something GREAT to the table! Lets embrace this holiday season. I really have a love/hate relationship with this season. My love is for everything about it and my hate kinda drives towards people. They are so nasty, mean, and stressed……c’mon lets have a little joy in our hearts you scrooges. So brings me back to lets just embrace it all and enjoy. Share the good news of what God did for us and the birth of Jesus. He has shed grace and mercy on all of us and for that we need to celebrate!! Let’s be an example of Christ and show our love to all. Lets remember everyone out their is human and has feelings. Be kind to our fellow baristas, servers, clerks, and more. We should be out their giving Christians a good name not a bad name. I want to share my joy with all and embrace everything and everyone with open arms. Do you know one kind word to someone can change their whole day?! Do you know one flash of a smile can make someone feel welcomed, loved, or even some hope?! Friends this is just me giving us a reminder that we need to be Christ like and be authentic with those around us. Come with me out of our boxes this Holiday season and well I really don't know but lets try and step out a little more and make someone's day somewhere, sometime! Remember you are all AMAZING people and you are all fearfully and wonderfully made! My heartfelt love to each and everyone of you.

    And when it's hard to be that example of Christ and love that person remember it's not just us alone, but that God can give us the strength to love as He does 2 Timothy 1:7 For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of sound mind.

He Swallowed a What??

Image
Not sure where to begin. Alright it is noon and Courtney is getting ready to take a nap and Cameron had just got in trouble so he needed to go to my room and take a rest. Court just went to bed and Cam is in my room. I sit down at the dining room table to finish some paperwork. All the sudden Cameron comes running down the hall screaming holding his throat, “I swallowed it, I swallowed it.” I said “Cameron what did you swallow?” Cameron, “ I don’t know it was silver metal, I don’t know what it is?” I am at this point going what on earth now. I can not fathom so we keep talking he gets a drink of water and coughs and says I really did I swallowed it. At this point the older boys know what he swallowed. So when we all came to the conclusion, we did in fact decide it was a battery. I try to call his doctors office but they had just left for lunch. I called poison control not sure what prompted that as I have never called them ever. The lady was wonderful on the phone and told me that if i...

I Have Missed.......

Well today was a good day. It was oh so HOT……I love it….okay well I love it as long as I can come in the house and cool off from time to time. Spent most of the day outside doing absolutely nothing except being kissed by the beautiful SUN!! My niece came over with my Great Nephew (thanks!) and we had a wonderful visit….Have I mentioned how precious he is? Cameron went to his first night at Mega Sports VBS and that was exciting for him. Tyler is camping at Dash Point with a friend. As for me and Courtney we went to Preston to go to the kids bounce place for a birthday party for Tucker. So while I was there I got to see the all the little ones I watch during the school year. Believe it or not I have missed that so much. As hard as it is to devote a day to kids all day with in reality no break can be difficult at times. Some days I was absolutely exhausted and some days I felt great. Some days were filled with happiness all day and some days I was so stressed I wanted to be done. No matte...

Safe Travel......To and From!

Travels……..So much to say and don’t know where to begin. Started my venture and decided 10 min. into the ride I was tired. I really dislike when that happens. I prayed immediately for safe travels……Thank you for those that took the time out to pray!! Travels were safe. Loud music and window down….dancing…..just to stay awake and make the run smooth. Let me first off start with I got some gas. Then I get into Puyallup and coffee is calling my name but decided hey I can wait. So what do you know……Starbucks on every corner and I wait to find the next one and NOTHING……….Keep driving, NOTHING…….Heavens to Pete I think by now I am going to die. So I am driving staying very content with the driver in front of me. A truck pulls out in front of him and he had no choice but to pass at that moment. So I got stuck behind this truck that is driving 35-40 in a 55 I finally get in a safe place to pass so I do. Of course he speeds up…..but its all good……I may like to drive fast but I do not like to pa...
