A little thought and consideration

Let me start by saying that I have always been a level-headed gal, someone that can listen to others and respectfully agree or disagree.  I know who I am and will not conform to others just because that seems to be the thing to do.  Although I know that every day presents itself as a learning experience, I also know that I will not waive my opinion for the sake of fitting into a particular crowd.
I am not a mean vendicitive person.  I consider others and their feelings, while realizing not everyone will treat me the same.  All this being said, I hope that everyone that is ever around me will always know that I have their best interest at heart but I will state my opinion when necessary.  My convictions have always been very strong....I cannot waiver.
My heart's desire is for my boys to grow up in a strong Christain home with 2 parents that put God first and then each other.  I hope the boys will always have a sense of self and pride but not so much that it will lead them down a destructive path.  My prayer is that they will marry strong women that love the Lord and  always know that every action will present a reaction.
Just have a very full heart.......

Busy, Busy Bees

We have been so busy lately I haven't been able to keep up.  A few weeks ago, I felt like I was drowning.  It always takes me 2 weeks to get back into the swing of school.  This year has been very different.  Carson is now with me at my school and Mason started a new school attending 4K.  They have both adjusted very well.....my problem is they would rather still be at the beach or fishing in the boat.  Carson says "school is so much work."  Mason says he already knew the sounds of the letters and maybe he could just skip a few weeks.  I have children that would rather be at home, they love to be in the backyard playing with Chloe the dog or playing baseball or playing on the jungle gym. 

And, so we are now 5 weeks into school and I decide the to have the "great clean out" and then new paint on the walls is necessary too.  This made for a very hectic week or so and then a yard sale is necessary.  Yard sales are not my idea of a fun thing to do on a Saturday, I would just rather be doing anything else.  But, this was an adventure for us.  Both boys had a great time pricing and collecting money.  They also were both very friendly to the customers.  One older man gave them $2 just because he saw them sitting and counting their loot!!  We met some very interesting people, made some nice friends from Arkansas, and gave the remaining items to charity.  All in all a good day for us, lots of learning experiences, and absolutely beautiful weather.

I am very tired this evening, but a happy girl because I am watching the Bama game and realxing with the family.  This is one of my favorite times of the year.  Cooler weather and Alabama football make for a perfect evening in September.  Roll Tide!!!
