Growing Pains.....

Do you remember middle school? Glad its over for me... Never want to go there again!
Pray for the middle schoolers in your life. They need and deserve it!!!

Change,What is it good for?

Its not easy to make changes is it? I know that I don't like big changes in my life. Let me tell you about my Syd, she hates change! When we moved into this house when she was 2 years old she begged us to take her back to the old house "I want my nother house"! When we rearranged the furniture in her room she threw a fit... When Steve sold his old car she begged for it back. She just likes things to stay the same.
Well, her world has been rocked. We have a new youth minister. Need I say more... Please say a prayer for her. She is really having a hard time "lots-O-tears"!!

Same Song, Second Verse

Big S started complaining Sunday night,"I don't feel well". We've all heard that one before from her.In fact we hear it at least once a week! If you ask middle S and little S what Big S favorite 4 words are and they will tell you "I don't feel well" So I thought nothing of it... Monday morning coughing, sneezing, aching,fever can't rest! Does this sound familiar? Went to the Dr. this morning tested negative for the flu but the Dr. thinks she has Flu or MONO!! Why did she say that out loud especially to miss "I don't feel well" instead of 5 days out of school we could be looking at 10 days!!
I want everyone on their knees now praying for my sanity!!

This is the big cheerleader try-outs week, Middle S is so nervous that her mouth is full of ulcers. I just hope she doesn't catch the flu bug.

Big Plans...

Last night Selby and I were talking and I asked her what she thought she might do for God one day? What did she think God has planned for her? She thought for a minute and then said " Well I know one thing I hope he doesn't want me to marry a hitch hiker". Where did that come from? I just said I hope he doesn't either!
Sena is trying out for cheerleader at school next week. She has been working really hard to master her back hand spring. Tonight after tumbling class she said, Mom, I really did well tonight I think I'm going to get it on Saturday and I know it is because God is doing it! Wow, I hope she makes cheerleader! But God you know what is best for her! We both will be there to pick up the pieces if she doesn't.
Syd went to the soccer playoffs tonight, we won! We have one more game on Saturday. She was so excited for the team. She love's sports. Alabama Football and her school teams! Pray for Syd as she is taking the ACT soon. She has some major decisions to make in the next 10 months. We are trying to lead her in the direction that we feel God is calling. Pray that her ears, eyes and heart are open to God's call.

Winter Blues

Do you feel like sometimes you can't get anything done! Selby had the flu and missed a week of school. She has felt better since Friday. Played with her friend all day today and guess what happened about 30 minutes ago. Her ear hurts not just hurts is killing her!! I have put swimmers ear in it, drops for pain, and given her a tylenol, and put a heating pad on it. It still hurts!!! I had so many plans for this week with all the girls in school. Dentist tomorrow, bible study Tuesday, Dr. appointments. Wed. I hope this is not another week of sickness and missed appointments. Rescheduling is not fun. Well anyway I'm glad its just an ear ache I know it could be alot worse.
I hope that all 0f you have a great, sick free week!
