Oi what a WEEKEND!! The concert was better than awesome and I'm SO GLAD nobody took us up on the free tickets offer. we went to keep from wasting the money lol! We ended up having the BEST time we've had as a family in a looooooooooooong time! Praise God for that!

Class today was uh....really rough, but good. we got home last night around 12, in bed asleep by 1, back up at 5 and on the road by 7 with a packed lunch and sleepy eyes I got the numbers of a few of the couples from class that we have gotten relatively close to in the last couple months of taking classes. When we go back to Jackson, we'll be dropping in to visit, especially with my new little buddy "A" She's 7, and a DOLL! She came with her parents to class the last few times and we hit it off. That kid is a charmer, and very intelligent, well spoken, and loved the parenting classes Amazing little girl, she is. She hung in there with all of the grown ups and asked questions and gave examples and input just like she was supposed to be a part of the class. She's excited about getting a new brother or sister Her parents became some pretty good friends over the course of the classes.

Anyway, we just got home about an hour ago and I cooked us a bite to eat. Now the fatigue is hitting

Hope everyone else has had a wonderful weekend!!!!!!!!!!!!!

hey! welcome to our group! You read the WHOLE thing? well..do ya think I'm bipolar already? My life is a roller coaster. I read backward on things I had posted a few weeks ago and thought...WOW, I may really be a genuine NUT Nevertheless, if you're still here I may not be as crazy as I feel some days, so enjoy Good to have ya around!

I just made the bestest chicken salad EVER! One large chicken breast fed the three of us, so not to bad on frugality either. I just need to remember how I did the chicken, because i added a few ingredients this time and it turned out terrific! DH and DD gave rave reviews

Church was awesome, the kids did a little program this morning. this one little boy was nearly crying when he got up there. I have no idea what was wrong with him. Then he went to say his part and it was cute how he said it, and a few people laughed, not AT him, but by the look on his sweet little face that is what he thought. Bless his heart He toughed it out for his next part, and they laughed again, and again, you could see his whole demeanor change. He looked so brokenhearted. I saw a tear roll down, and it was all he could do, he jumped off the stage, and ran, arms out, into his mommas lap and held on for dear life and just let it flow. I went and got him some tissue, crossed the church to his seat, handed him the tissue, and the last of my orange Tic Tacs, and told him he did a great job, and i was SO impressed, he was the only one I was giving a prize to. After a few minutes I saw him sharing his "prize" with his baby brother and smiling, all dried up, and happy again. I've been there. I know that feeling. If we could all just remember whose arms we can run to for comfort, and that friends are always there to pick us up when we're down, that combination can get us through anything! The whole scene was just incredibly sweet. That kid knew who would comfort him without a bit of doubt. Mommas arms are our comfort in this life, but I have a Father who is always willing to wrap His arms around me too. It doesn't matter why I'm down to begin with, or what puts me over the edge. He is always there, and I am always thankful for the comfort that His love brings to me. There was no sermon from the pastor this morning, but for those who paid attention, there was a sermon of love going on between a parent and their child, and it was beautiful

Beautiful story. You could write a whole Bible study on that.
