check out our new blog too...:)


Wow.
talk about a throw back
hehe
my hubby and I dont look like this now.
maybe Im thankful?!

:)

Today I am ready for VGNO...hosted by fabulous ANN!

I have started a new blog for my family to participate in..then I totally have posted all by myself for the first week..:)
I have been focusing on the grandparents of my life.
And I think I told a funny story on one of these two blogs...


I am watching the weather and it looks like we are getting 8-10 inches of the "white death"
:)

I LOVE THE SNOW.

Because it gives me a reason to laugh at all those people who-

a- cant find their shovel from last time it snowed
b- are afraid of running out of milk or bread for a day
c-cancel ALL their plans "in case"
d- panic and forget WE LIVE IN OHIO...

*insert hysterical laughter*

I almost got asked to leave the grocery store because I was laughing so hard at the panic stricken people. REALLY. i was kinda rude, but I just couldnt help myself.

I actually heard someone say-
"if there is no bread here, what will we do?"

hahahaha

when I got to looking around,, I realized all the people who live IN town were at the store, and those of us who actually have to drive there were only there for a candy bar or diet coke..:)

As of this post, ANN hasnt posted VGNO yet, but I have a ton of work to do, and Im thinking I will prolly lose internet- thanks to my GREAT sattelite provider (who shall remain nameless)

Hope you all keep up with my two blogs...there will be more funny, more heartache and more blessings this year than ever before.

Im dedicated to writing here, and Im dedicated to making someone laugh , smile, cry or pray.
Just depends on the day I guess....

LOVE YOU GUYS!

ps...my pal ALI has a new photo journal too...AWESOME..go check her out!

GOOD MORNING!

This morning s going to have to be better than yesterday- because I dont have a killer headache, so that is a step in the right direction, right? :)

I think so

Today is Thursday, and I have a funny story to tell you.

Some of you know, I am a college student among the other million or so things Ive got going on.

Last night, while in my lab for Plant Biology- I get a text.

The powers is out at my house, for no good reason.

So, Im beating myself up= did I pay the bill?
Of course I did- even checked the checkbook to be sure :)

Later, I got another text from my daughter saying it was back on.
ok, so no big deal...

WELL...

Around here we play cruel little pranks on each other, like turning off all the lights upstairs, then turning Morgans bedroom light off, and running..so she is scared. ( that girl watches too many scary movies, so its her fault she makes scaring her so easy for us)

And ( my personal favorite) sneaking your hand just inside the bathroom door and killing the lights- while John is in the shower- this is a little war he and Morgan have waged on each other for months now. While the rest of us just stand by and laugh.

Last night, as reported by my boys- who were in hysterics laughing-
John was in the shower
Morgan doing homework on her bed.

POWER GOES OUT

They both start yelling at one another to "turn the light back on"

While my boys sat on the couch and cracked up.

Eventually they figured it out.
But not before my boys had candles lit, and went looking for them both.


HEHE

VERY FUNNY.

My Choice

For those of you who follow my blog regularly ( when I keep up with it) You will not be surprised to hear what I have to say today. :)

For those of you who are my friends and truly understand that friendship is about more than doing stuff and hanging on the phone, you will understand also.


For those of you without a clue- ( and you dont even know who you are) you will be offended that I am making different choices now, and I am sorry you do not understand.


This is hubby John. He is a Wonderful , amazingly understanding husband. He lets me have the remote, he keeps the kids in check so I can study, he puts up with all of my Horticultural talk and all of my extra stuff for school strewn about. He takes amazing care of me, and our kids. He has stepped up when I am not here- which is a lot of the time , being in school and all. He doesnt get jealous of other men in my life- has no reason to, and quite frankly has faith in me that I dont have in myself sometimes. Even when we "argue", he is still loving me. I love him. and I kinda think hes cute...:)
This is me, trying not to laugh at some absurd, but serious , thing hubby has said to me. (btw- I lost those ultra cool sunglasses when I went skiing- the first time I wore them...GRRRR...)

I am utterly speechless at what I have been blessed with. I have some pretty amazing people in my life. And sometimes I have to take a step back and thank them, and reassure them. Im not "reachable" right now" Its not all together a bad thing either. Im swamped. End of story. I had to re -arrange my life schedule so I have time for the most important things.
Im not answering my cellular device. :)
(one of my fav words)
Im not Facebooking...
Im not emailing, returning personal calls or answering the door.
I dont want this to be offensive.
Im not sick, depressed, lonely or hurt. Im just taking a vacation from the world as I know it , in preparation for the my new shiny world that is coming as soon as the first blossom of spring hits!

Im trying to stay on the deans list at school
Im trying to be a better mother and wife.
Im working on the spiritual side of me too.
There are 168 hours in a week.
And Im using everyone of them.
Im even going to bed at 9:30.
AHH
thats cutting into my serious TV time, BUT well worth it.
And its for the betterment of me.

I knew the people who cared enough to try to check in on me would understand.
And the ones who werent that concerned, well, they dont.
And thats ok by me.

to simplify your world is the first step in simplifying your life. :)

VGNO

I have NEVER been more thankful in my life for FRIDAY!!!!

And I have a Prayer for all of you-that I wrote from my heart.

Dear Lord- thank you for all you have done in my life and life of all of these blogger friends. Please accept my sincere thanks for everything you have given me, no matter how small. I know I am blessed to be taken care of by you. Please stand by the side of those who serve you in the toughest of conditions, and when they return home, please hold them up for their own recovery. Living to serve and love you is what keeps them going. Thank you so much for the cold and the snow, and the sunshine the peeks through. Thanks you for letting me make my own mistakes and forgiving me when I make them. And thank you for the little things I take for granted- electricity, ice cream, my shoes. I pray your hand will be on all who request it, and some who need to feel you that dont even know it yet. In your Sons name- AMEN

For me this weekends VGNO will be spent painting Gracies room...she has some pretty big ideas- and I promise before and after shots next week...its gonna be a girls night in- and the boys will be freezing their patooties off at boy scout camp= YES Camping in tents... its 12 degrees......YE-OWCH!

Had a Great visit with Doug and Amy my friends whos mission has taken them to Haiti...I met their son Dor for the very first time...AHHHH he is sooo sweet! And of course smart. And their baby Grayson, who is just hungry. :) They spent the evening here with us and it was nice to see them. I will be praying for them continually as they struggle through the reality of the last two weeks...for more info please visit their blog.

There are some graphic photos on one of the pages, so please do not be shocked to see them. But there is also good info on their too.

Have a great VGNO everyone- I will try to hop in tonight!
