Wuah, Wuah, Wha??

I just can't get it together. My body tells me to get in bed and stay there. But, I have two kids that won't let that happen. Ugh. I need to be at the gym, like, an hour ago. But here I am. Being lazy. No motivation to be found. I can not wait to be done with school and begin working! I've been without a job since October 2004...I mean, I work at the gym, but it's not a full time thing. I am taking on extra classes, that way I HAVE to be there. Okay, I hear the grocery store calling my name.

In the blink of an eye...

Wow the past month or so has been unreal. I've neglected my blog, among other things. The most life changing event that's happened around here is Brian's dad passed away suddenly. On Thursday April 22, 2010, I was sitting at my computer doing homework. The phone rang, it was Brian's mom saying that Ronnie had fallen. I went over quickly....He had suffered a massive heartattack. Since then life has changed for us. You never know what the next moment holds, so hold tight to those you love. I'll catch up again soon. RIP Ronnie (March 7, 1956 - April 22, 2010) We love you & miss you every day.

Dearest Lachlan

Sweet Lachlan,
Happy 4th Birthday! Four years ago I was not so patiently awaiting the arrival of my precious first born! You seemed quite content to stay in my belly. Saturday, April 15th, 2006 I headed down to Canton, GA to give you a little nudge. You made your grand appearance 1:27 am on the 16th. My Easter baby!!

In the past four years your existance has taught me life lessons that are so important. Pure love, for one. I can't describe how watching you grow has brought me so much joy. Through laughter and tears, (lots of tears) I wouldn't change anything! You are so smart, beautiful, and wonderful. I'm excited to watch you grow, learn, and be the amazing person God created you to be!

I love you,

Mama

I took the TEAS yesterday. Ah. Soooo glad to have that over with. It wasn't pretty. Most of the stuff that I studied didn't rear it's head on the test. The science portion was BRUTAL. Thank the good Lord that I have another chance. Now to concentrate on school work to keep my GPA up!

It's amazing that Lachlan will be 4 years old on Friday! Time is passing by so rapidly. Being the procrastinator that I am, I haven't scheduled her party yet. Still working out the kinks. I'm so blessed to be her mommy. She never ceases to amaze me with the inner workings of her brilliant mind :)

Jesus, I LOVE You

I found this video on youtube. It fits perfectly. Thank you Jesus for that terrible Friday afternoon. Thank you for enduring what should have been inflicted on me. Thank you for eternal life. Thank you for such a perfect love. I can't wait for the day I can wrap my arms around your neck. You truly are the reason.

Lights, Camera...the days RECAP.

I think we are on the road to recovery. I took Leora to the dr. yesterday, when we walked in the door she was shaking all over with a fever of 103.1, so scary. Dr. Trigg checked her out and she has strep. I'm praying that it doesn't run through us all. She seems to be better today, as she was running circles in the living room yelling "I'm a race car!" I took it as a good sign.

Mom came and sat with the girls today while I got my hair cut. It feels so much better! I think it looks better too :) Right before mom got to the house I was eavesdropping on the girls conversation. It went like this: Lachlan: "Leora, do you think we have enough pixie dust to get out of neverland?" Leora: "Yep." My girls make my heart sing.

Haley and I went and saw "Remember Me" at the Ellijay Theater. Very good movie. Aside from the stunning good looks of Robert Pattinson, it had an intriguing story line. Looking back I can see it leading where it ended...Sept 11, 2001 was a day that America will never forget. May God have mercy on us that something like that will never happen again. The movie brought me right back to where I was that day. It just reiterated what I'd thought about in the past, how all of those people had a story, a life, a legacy.

Tomorrow is my first day back to school in...hmm..5 years. I'd better get my nervous rear into bed! XOXO til next time!

Thoughts on a Rainy Day

Sickness sucks. I laid on the couch all day yesterday. Leora is still coughing so back to the dr. for her tomorrow. It seems like we just can't get better!!! Lord, please send healing over our house :)

Yesterday morning Brian got up at 5am to sign Lachlan up for Pre K. So sad! I can't believe my baby girl is going to school. He got there around 5:30 and was 45th in line!! Nuts. I think she will do really well in school. She loves other kids, I just hope none of them are mean to her. She has a personality where she will get her feelings hurt. Leora, on the other hand, could care less about people being nice or not. It's amazing how they are so different, yet alike in some ways.

School starts this week! YAY! We went to get our books this past week. $739.64 worth of books. I almost hyperventilated at the counter. I guess you've got to spend money to make money. Marcia came on Thursday night to help me with my math, I thank God for her help!! TEAS test here I come!
