Waits on my feet!

I feel bogged down in my spiritual walk and I can't figure out why. I think I know why but I am never positive. I want to be rebaptized. I was baptized when I was 8 I think but I did it because I was supposed to not because I felt moved to and wanted to well, now I do! I want it so bad but I don't want a huge fuss made of me and such so we were supposed to do it tonight after church and well our Assoc. minister said if I didn't want the fuss I should do it a different time and so now when is that time? Wait! I hate to wait! I am not a good waiter.

I am studying more now then ever and my prayer life is increasing I just feel this one thing holding me back and I don't know how to convey this urgency to anyone else.

Bad Time

I just went through a really tough time in my life. I put my worries and problems before the Lord and I am feeling so much better. I know through my prayer and the prayers of my Morning Glory ladies I have made it through.

I was having nightmares, migraines, and sleepless nights and depression. I am still calling the doc tomorrow to make sure he doesn't want to see me but since Friday when I asked others to join in prayers about this I am doing so much better. I pray and am asking you to continue to pray for me and full recovery with no set backs.

My kids are blossoming little flowers. Kelby is great at soccer and has taken on the task of no longer sucking his thumb for 6 days now!! Kason has grown and matured so much in the last few months! He is playing football and has straight A's! Quinton is volunteering at the library and at church! He also has straight A's and he is in 3 pre-AP classes! Kater is such a little ray of sunshine in our house! She is the rainbow after the boy storm lol so to speak! She makes everyone smile. Everyone is always telling us how pretty she is (not that we don't already know this). She is still not walking (which is fine with us) and no teeth (again this is great)! She has grown so much already!

What do you do?

This question was asked to me recently upon meeting someone new. I gave her the answer she wanted to hear. I stay at home. Sometimes I feel like I am saying I do nothing. What I feel like saying is what do I do??? What don't I do? I am cook, sometimes a personal chef it feels like!, a maid, a launderer, a carpet specialist, a pet babysitter, a professional playmate, a personal driver for 4 very demanding people, a cheerleader, a tutor, a teacher, a singer, a personal shopper 4 times over again!, a nurse, a dancer, a listener, an artist, accounts payable, accounts receivable, mail woman, a taxi service but my favorite thing I do is a mommy. I really do love being a mommy but I just wish more people understood what goes into it instead of thinking I just sit at home all day and have it made cause I don't HAVE to work!

So frustrated!

I will never understand why people lie. I mean I know why they do sometimes but I still don't understand it and it is probably one my biggest pet peeves.

We went to a Buffalo Wing establishment tonight and Kelton needed to use the bathroom so Bryan took him. He pottied and waited for dad and they started out the door and Kel slipped in a pool of urine and fell and hit is face on the urinal handle and it is all swollen and bruised. It looks horrible!

Well, Bryan came back and asked me what I thought we should do so I told him to go tell the manager what happened but my husband being my husband didn't want to say anything and me being me wanted to! If nothing else they needed to clean it up! Well, I told the waitress and she said ok she would tell her manager and left. She came back and said he would be right with us. Well, Bryan in the mean time went to wash his hands cause Kel's shorts had some pee on them and he had gotten on his hands.

While he was gone the manager shows up and tells me he was just in the bathroom and that there was no pee in there on the floor so I asked what he proposed was on my son's shorts that was wet? He said he didn't know and he would do whatever we wanted him too to accomodate us! What?? If there was nothing wrong why would he do this? Well, Bryan came back to the table and talked to him for a bit and again he claimed there was no pee when he went in there, however Bryan said he was cleaning up when he went in to wash his hands so he knew Bryan knew and still lied about it!!

I wanted NOTHING out of the deal just for the bathroom to get cleaned which it did I just don't understand why he had to lie. Admit your fault and move on!

Yeah for School!!

I am so excited for my children to be going back to school. I love having them home don't get me wrong but I love missing them during the day as well. And it means I will get to spend more time with my Kater.

Quinton is starting his 2nd yr of middle school which means 7th grade. Kason is going to be in the 1st grade and Kelby is in his last year of preschool also known to some as Pre-K.

We recently went to the zoo and had a blast!! The kids had so much fun and all the animals were very interactive. I am sad summer is coming to a close as the fun and playing are coming to a halt but to start the learning train again I am all aboard.
Here we have Kason on the far left, Kater and the Kelby on the right. Quinton was absent as he went to Six Flags with my sister.

New Life

New life overwhelms me. Our friends just had a baby about 2 weeks ago and she stopped by today to let me see him. It made me cry just to see such a sweet little person and a new life! It made me think of all my babies when they were so small and so fresh! The sweet smell of their breath, their delicate skin and those silly crossed eyes! I love it. I missed out on my evening plans which were going to be nowhere as good as that!

The Krazy K Twins

Ok, so they are not twins but they act like it. They are brothers of the best kind. They are also best friends! My two middle sons are sewn together at the hip. When one is gone the other is lost! They love each other so much. I love seeing that love between them. They gang up on their older brother when they need to defend one another! They look out for each other. They sleep together every night and love sharing a room! I am so blessed to not only know these two boys but to be able to be their mother and to guide them through life WOW what a wonderful thing!

Home Again Home Again Jiggety Jig

My son is home from church camp and I forgot what a wonderful asset he is to this family and BOY did I miss him like crazy!!! He is turning into a wonderful young man and he is a great big brother for his little brothers and sister. He is about 3 inches shorter then I am now! And his feet are about 2 inches longer then mine too! He came home this morning and just stepped right up and started helping out with everything! You all should be a little jealous of me lol!

13 can wait

My oldest son just turned 12. He is a great kid. He is very handsome, smart, athletic and other kids parents love him! I wish I was as popular as he is. He is entering the 7th grade in just one month! He is very helpful around the house and with the younger kids. He loves Jesus and does his very best every day to become more like him. I feel so lucky that I can be there to witness this wonderful transformation from childhood to manhood. Here he is for you viewing pleasure.

She crawls, she talks, thank goodness she doesn't WALK!

Oh my sweet baby daughter will be 7 months old on Thursday!!! What?! How did this happen? By the way there is only 5 more months until Christmas, just to let you know! Well as the title reveals she is crawling and talking saying mostly mama or mommy, and a little , dada, bye bye and yummy well ummy but you get the idea. She is pulling up on the furniture and in her bed. It won't be long until she walks! I am NOT ready for all that! She still doesn't have much hair on her tiny little head but she is still the cutest thing I have ever seen but I will let you decide!

Some days I wonder

Some days I wonder why am I am mom?
Some days I wonder is there a better way?
Some days I wonder what am I doing wrong?
Some days I wonder what am I doing right?
Some days I wonder if "that" is really important?

The answer is always there for me. I never wonder for long.
He shows me why I am a mom, he helps me find the better way,
he shows what I am doing wrong and how to fix it and what I am
doing right so I can keep on doing it, he tells me if "that" is really
important and if it isn't then he tells me what really is!

I am just starting this out so any suggestions, Paula, I would love them. I will post something "real" tomorrow perhaps.
