Well, right now I need to take a moment to remember all that I am thankful for!
Family,great friends,a wonderful KY angel(you know who you are~thanks),wonderful husband, wonderful children, our health and many other blessings in our life.
Today, I found myself sad and feeling angry and upset but I am going to push all those negatives aside and focus on the positive.
On a lighter note...We saw TWILIGHT at midnight on Friday. Noelle and Amy and I. I LOVE those books...if you haven't read them~ READ THEM NOW! You will thank me later!!
Thanks for checking in on us! Have a wonderful and safe Thanksgiving.
Lots of love and kisses from all of to all of you!

It's raining.....in our kitchen??
Beware.....what you are about to see is an edited version of what our kitchen ceiling really looks like. Proceed with caution at your own risk! These pictures actually look better than what it looks like in person.ENJOY! ;)
Okay, it has been a little over 24 house since I got home and Mary said " mom, why is the counter and the floor ALL WET"? I did and immediate panic. Saw water dripping from the kitchen ceiling and ran straight up stairs to find one of the upstairs toilets filled to the top and running over.
Long story short, Chris was out of town for the afternoon, Lauren was having 5 girls spend the night for her 9th Birthday Bash! So I gathered my thoughts, the phone rang and my angel on the other end, Amy, sent her husband over to help out. In the mean time I called one of our builders guys and he called another and in about 10 minutes time I had 3 great guys helping me. I was so grateful!!
So we have had a huge fan running for about 30 hours... the sound is driving me crazy and Noelle said it was also driving her crazy!! But, it is drying out!
We have about 8 places where the drywall tape is sagging, two holes that need repaired and the whole ceiling needs painted!
The new me is trying to relax and I have once again learned that it could have been a whole lot worse.
I hope that everyone is having a great weekend!
We are in such a better place this year than last. One year and one day ago Lauren got a terrible stomach flu the night before her birthday. Mary was two days before that. At midnight Noelle got it, followed by Ethan a couple of hours later and finally Chris got it at the crack of dawn. I was the sole survivor. Lucky me!! Someone needed to be well to care for the sicklings and empty buckets!(ha ha)!
Take care! Love and miss you all or y'all!!!!

I am Thankful!
Well...this has been a challenging week. The kids have been disorganized. Forgetting important things such as turning in homework ( which takes 100 points off a middles school advanced math grade), forgetting to print essays that need to be turned in and printing them five minutes after the usually "leave for school time" ( not to mention he "BUS DRIVER" has an important department head meeting that morning) and not grabbing a 500 point assignment from the printer (at least it was printed this time~but forgotten at home). So needless to say there have been a few "talks" and a few extra trips to schools.
Last night I was being consumed by frustration. I know that it is part of being a parent of 4 children but I was MAD. So this morning our "talk" appeared to have made an impact. Everyone was off on time and so far so good!
I am blessed and I am thankful, I just need to remind my self of our Four Blessings!( plus much more)
I am thankful that I live in a great, beautiful state! I am thankful for my wonderful husband~ who is such a constant source of strength to me. I am thankful for our children and our wonderful families{parents, brothers and sisters}. I am thankful for my sister( Laura you are the best)! I am thankful for my Wonderful Neighbors and Great Friends. I have a lot to be thankful for and I need to always remember to count my blessings. I am going to try to be a girl with the glass that is full!!
God Bless!
