Our Weekend

Most will find this post boring....there will be no pictures because I didn't take any pictures! =P

I went to an all day CEU thingy on Friday in Fort Worth. Let me just say...it was about death. 8 HOURS ABOUT DEATH!!! UGH!!! I mean, most of the information was helpful and useful and thought provoking. I didn't agree with most of what this man was saying but he was a good speaker. He kinda came across as a "quack" to me but whatever, it was 8 FREE CEU's, FREE breakfast, FREE lunch and it only cost me $52 in childcare!!! =) Gosh, what a poor attitude I have!

Saturday..let's see....we had lots of plans of doing things around the house..none of which we did. FABULOUS! I wanted to get some stuff ready for Rachel's room and her bed to be delivered this week....didn't even go in the room. I wanted to clean the carpets...nope. Instead, we sat around and did nothing. It really was nice! I watched football which I love....didn't love that the Razorbacks are stupid and lost by 1 point.

Sunday...hate that the Cowboys are stupid too! Went to church....as we do every Sunday. After church we went to the park with some international students from DBU for lunch and a time to visit. This is something we are doing with our small groups on Sunday night. It was good times except for my fussy child (which I predicted beforehand...it was her nap time). Sunday lunch time is HORRIBLE for Rachel. She is such a pill! We took a little nap...I did some dishes. We were getting ready to go to Chapps to eat a cheeseburger (my craving at that particular moment and my husband is ALWAYS willing to oblige if it means Chapps) and Anita and Courtney showed up to watch the kids like they do every Sunday night...except we didn't have small group last night! SO....they took Rachel to the park while Brice and I went to eat. I packed Rachel a nice little lunch and they ate and played. It was a nice break! THANKS, GIRLS!

It's Monday...back to the week. I realized this weekend how much I enjoy having family time with my husband. I like us all being together. Can't wait to have another one to share it with! =)

Not much else going on. This morning Rachel woke up earlier than normal - 6:45. That's early compared to her normal 7:45-8:00. I am not sure that she doesnt wake up until then but at least she is content in her room until then and lets me sleep. Not this morning...she was SCREAMING at 6:45. I went and got her and she was so fussy! We went downstairs and she watched Dora (what else???) while I did laundry and dishes. I had the carpet in the dining room clean, 3 loads of laundry, and the dishes done by 8:00 this morning!!! WOW! AND...I got a shower before lunch time! The laundry is now almost finished..completely (it's 2:55 pm). I love productive days!

Friends...Forever!

What is a friend?  Webster defines a friend as: a person whom one knows, likes, and trusts. It goes on to talk about a friend being a supporter.  I would have the tendency to assume that everyone has at least one friend...maybe not a best friend or perhaps maybe not even a close friend but someone that they can call a friend.  I know that difference personality types lend themselves for more friends than others.  I am a sanguine which means that I have a lot of people that I consider to be my friend.  I have always been the type of person that needs and wants friends...people around me who love me, encourage me, and support me.  On the flip side of this, I have always had a hard time trusting people so I tend to be skeptical of people.  Unfortunately, a friend described me pretty accurately this morning.  She said that I (and she is the same way) have the tendency to dislike people until I have a reason to like them.  No, not proud of it...but I am just skeptical.  I have been hurt

Replace My Complaining Attitude

If you know anything about me, you know that I am blunt.  I am straight-forward, to the point, and to a fault, honest.  This is something that I have often wanted to change about myself.  Let's face it, there are things about each one of us that we would change, and let me be clear, there are MANY other things I would change but becoming more gentle has always been something I have longed for. I have had people tell me that I should be proud of this.  They wish they could be more assertive like me.  I guess there are good points to this type of characteristic but more times than not, I find myself getting into trouble because of it.   Piggy-backing on that character istic  flaw is the fact that I am a complainer.  I would rather whisper that but again, if you know me, you probably didn't fall in the floor in disbelief that I just typed that.  It is hard to admit.  It is hard to tell a world (okay a few people) that read this that I complain.  How off-putting is that?  I g

FUN STUFF!!

We have had a fun couple of days! I worked on July 4th and Rachel and Daddy stayed home doing nothing...I think they enjoyed it! Saturday was pretty uneventful.....we went to Target and bought some containers so that I could put all of my clothes away that are TOO BIG!!! YAY!! It was also a sneaky way to allow my husband to see that I really don't have too many clothes!!! None of them fit! =) Sunday was church and we came back here and relaxed all day. Here is a picture of Rachel from Sunday. Rachel's dress was adorable....went to her ankles.... Brice had yesterday off too so we all went to Hawaiian Falls waterpark in Mansfield for a little water fun after Rachel's nap. It was a lot of fun except for the part where I fell down the stairs leading into the lazy river and in an attempt to keep my child's head above water (I was holding her), I tumbled down about 4 stairs, twisted my ankle, hit my knee, and scraped up the side of my leg all while swallowing a lot of water.
