Normal...so far.

Well, today is Monday and so far it seems to be shaping up to be a pretty normal week. No crazy stuff over the weekend-church was great yesterday-pastor appreciation reception was great. The kids had a good Monday at school-today was Tom's first day working first shift(he works first shift on Mondays)-got some work done at church(cleaning some areas up). So all in all not a bad start. I have an Eagles Team meeting tomorrow night but I always have a fun time at those, sometimes we have more fun then we should (it is all in good fun right Lisa).
We started a fast at church last week from Easter till Mother's Day(that is 50 days), Tom, me and the girls are doing what is called the Daniel Fast, that is eating only fruits and vegetables, it is a little hard for me seeing how I don't like too many different kinds of veggies. Me and Ashlee have changed it a little though, we are eating some breads and dairy(very little just when we need an extra something)but I am doing my best to stick to the fruits and veggies only. I do pretty good at lunch time but around dinner I need a little more, usually a piece of bread or for breakfast maybe a yogurt, but other than that I am sticking to it.
So there you have it my Monday in a nut shell.
I think it is time to head to bed and get a good night sleep to face tomorrow.
Good night all,
Love Ya

Life Coaching & The end of a busy week

Well it is Saturday night and I am enjoying the evening watching a move with the fam.

Had life coaching today and it was really good. I was finally able to get the answer to a question that has really been weighing me down. I feel so much better about it now and I am so thankful that I have the people in my life that I do. I know I have a group of cheerleaders there for me and that I can turn to them at any time I need to. Life coachers you will never fully understand how much you all mean to me, I thank you so much for you love and understanding. I know I can count on you ladies for the help and support I need.

Well my mom is home from the hospital and she is doing so much better. It ended up to be something simple that turned into and big problem. But now she is on 7 different medicines and is planning on going to work on Monday.
I had a busy week...I was at the doctor's office 3 out of 5 days this week. First Britney's arm is fine, just soft tissue damage, she is out of the half cast and is using her arm with no problem. Kirsti is doing great on her medication, she had a very good week in school and at home. No major problems, just normal teenage stuff. I am so glad that things are calming down with her. When she is having a off day or week she is so hard to deal with so I love it when things are going smooth.

Toms new job is going good as well. The hours are not to bad, just don't get to have dinner with him. I think it is hard on the girls but they have not complained so far. With the week being as crazy as it was they probably didn't have the chance to care but this coming week may be different, as far as I know it should be a pretty normal week , whatever that means.

Well I am going to enjoy ther rest of the movie then go to bed. Tomorrow is going to be a great day at church. I can't wiat to see what God has in store for us.
Love Ya

Nice while it lasted.....

Well last night was nice to just sit and watch TV and enjoy the down time but it did not last.
This morning started off like a rocket. Before I even made it to the shower my cell phone rang and it was my sister letting me know that my dad had to rush my mom to the hospital from work. She has not been feeling well the last week and a half, she got food poisoning last week and just has not recovered. She is so hard headed that she said she did not have time to go to the doctor well she wound up in the hospital. All we know right now is that she is very dehydrated and her blood pressure dropped real low but that is all we know. They are keeping her in the hospital over night for now, hopefully we will know more in the morning.
After that I headed off to work, had to leave at 11:30 for Britney's doctor appointment, then the we got sent to have another xray done. I had to pick Kirsti up from school because my mom usually takes her home but that didn't work today. And on top of all of that Ashlee had a concert tonight. So needless to say today was not very relaxing. Tomorrow is another day, which looks to be adding up to be another crazy one. Brit has to go back to the doctor and tomorrow is church so another late night is in store for me.

I can do ALL things through God who strengthens me!!
Thank you, Lord, for your strengthen and support and love. Without you I could not make it through all of this craziness.

Take a deep breath.....and relax

I love Easter and all that goes along with it but I tell you what, it is a lot of work. This year seemed to be more busy than others for some reason. It started on last Wednesday and finally stopped last night at about 12 am. And if Easter itself was busy enough how about throwing a trip to the ER on top of everything. I was in the ER Saturday night until about 1:30 am with my youngest daughter(9), she hurt her arm at a birthday party. Nothing is broke but she has some soft tissue damage, so now we are going to have to go to the doctor tomorrow than probably an orthopedic doctor after that(like I don't have enough to do). But such is life. Some one told me at church yesterday that I didn't need boys she said my girls are in the ER and at the doctor more than her son. Which is true, at least once maybe twice a year we are in the ER with a major problem.
Well Tom started his new job today, all seems to be well. Just have to get use to the different hours. I don't think it will be that hard because he has worked strange hours before so it is nothing new.
So....I have finally been able to sit down and relax after all of the craziness and it has felt really good. I even feel asleep on the couch for about 30 minutes and didn't even realize it until the phone rang and woke me up but it felt good. I don't think I am going to have any problems sleeping tonight. I think I am going to head to bed now and try to catch up n some much needed sleep.
Good night all love ya.

The end to a CRAZY day

Finally.... today has come to an end.
I think this has been one of the craziest I have had in a long time. When I say I was from one end of the county today and back I mean it. I went from Carrollwood to Seffner back to Carrollwood then to Wesley Chapel then to Temple Terrace then finally back home. But of course there were many many stops along the way. But I think I am finally done and can try to enjoy the weekend. I have my nephew's birthday party tomorrow then a play to go to,then of course Sunday is Easter and I am really looking forward to it. I really feel like God is going to show up in a big way. We have done all we can do in the natural so now all we have to do is sit back and watch God do the supernatural and I believe we will see great miracles this week and in the weeks to follow.
Well it is bed time and you know what, we have no kids home. Yes, we are alone so what am I doing on the computer?
Bye Bye

Things are starting to turn around.....finally

Well this week has been a prettty good one for the most part. Tom got the new job that he was interviewing for. There is one draw back, it is second shift which means that he will be working from 1pm until 10pm at night. He will not be able to be at church on Wednesday nights anymore and he will not be able to go to any concerts that the girls may have but I guess with everyhthing there has to be some sacrifce. But with this job there is room for advancement and he may be able to switch shifts after he has been there awhile. I guess you have to look at the bright side..right.
Things with Kirsti are hopefully getting better. We went to the doctor today and I really feel like we are on the right track. I can no longer deny that there is a real problem, if her behavior is out of her control how can I punish her for it? What does that teach her? If she can't count on me to love her through her problems and not punish her when what she needs is understanding then how can I help her? It could be a bumpy ride for awhile but it will be worth it to get my baby the help she needs. She is such a good kid, she is so loving and I wish everyone else could see that side of her, instead of the girl that always has a tough girl attitude, or scared of her because they never know what kind of mood she is in. But again look at the bright side..... she will get better and everyone will see that girl, that special girl that God has so many plans for.
Well there you go that was the last couple of days in a nut shell.
