Why I have been MIA

Hey guys, You might bee wondering why I have been Missing in Action. Several things are the reason!

One ~ Football Star started school 3 weeks ago and I can't seem to get myself into the routine with getting up early and all the after school practices. Ugh!

Second ~ My computer crashed again. Not sure if that is the correct terminology for a motherboard to go out. This is the 3rd motherboard to be placed on this computer. The 2nd one to be replaced in 3 months! Dell sends out a Tech last week, it took this guy 4 hours to switch out the motherboards. In the process, he broke the corner of my computer, never completely replaced the keyboard correctly so it is warped, and he couldn't get the last piece on. Also I have one of recalled batteries that explode. The tech calls the office and sets up DHL to send a box so I can ship my computer to them So here I sit waiting for Dell. Come to find out after Big D calls them yesterday that they don't even use DHL anymore and WE have to call Airbourne Express and have them come get the computer. Double Ugh!

Third ~ Tomorrow is the BIG day for Computer Geek! He leaves for Tennessee Tech. He is so extremely happy. We have been very busy this week with errands. Monday, we went grocery shopping and packed about 1/2 of his stuff. Yesterday, we got the oil changed in his car and bought a few things we realized he didn't have for college. We also packed several things in his car. Things that wouldn't melt or get damaged in this heat. Today, Computer Geek wants to get his car washed and he has to get his hair cut. Tonight we will completely pack his car and the van. We leave early in the morning. Triple Ugh!

Please keep us in your prayers tomorrow. This is more difficult than ever imagined!

Until next time.....

God Bless~

Back to School

Today was the first day of school for Football Star! He had such a difficult time wanting to go this year. It could have been because Computer Geek didn't have to go this year. That adjustment is difficult. Or it could have been Computer Geek spoiled him last year by taking him to school and this year he has to ride the bus. He was NOT too happy about that. But with gas prices so high and we live 15-20 mins from the high school, he has to ride at least in the mornings. I pick him up in the evenings because of football practice. My prayer is he has a safe and wonderful Sophmore year.

Until next time.....

Happy Birthday Kevin!

I want to take this time to wish my nephew Kevin a HAPPY 29th BIRTHDAY!! He always teases me about being 10 years older than him. He better enjoy this year because next year he will be OVER the HILL next year!!!!

It doesn't seem possible that he is 29. I was only 10 when he was born. To me he was like a live baby doll. He was my first experience with taking care of a baby. And now he is the proud Daddy of our miracle baby, Ashley. Where did time go??

Until next time.....

God bless~

CAN

***WARNING***

Beware when you watch this video. You will need some kleenex! My niece sent this to me via email today. As soon as I watched this video, I knew I HAD to blog about it. At times in this life, we think we have it tough. This video makes me appreciate all the blessings God has given me. Yeah, I am not perfect. I am not some beautiful model. I have a bad knee that gives me trouble time to time. BUT... I am BLESSED! There are times I think "I can't" because I don't have confidence in who I am. This video reminds me that "I CAN do all things in Christ that strengthen me"!



I hope the video lifted your spirits today, like it has mine!

Until next time.....

God Bless~
