Busy Week

This has been an insanely busy past week!!!

Let's see...I went to the doctor on Wednesday...see last post! The only thing that I didn't include is that I am going to see a cardiologist on December 23rd for my heart issues. Funny thing....since I have had the appointment scheduled my heart has not been doing what it was doing before....*sighs*

Anyway, Tuesday I cleaned like a mad woman. Somehow motivation came to me...I got all of the Christmas decorations up and the house spotless. The maids came on Wednesday to do some more deep cleaning including the fridge!! YAY!! We had dress rehearsal for our Christmas play Wednesday night. Thursday I worked....it was busy!! Then off to church again for another dress rehearsal. Brice was off on Friday and it was nice to have him home!!!! He didn't even turn his computer on. That's rare! We took Rachel to my aunt's house for her to spend the night and the dog to the boarders to have a weekend away, including a haircut which she is getting today! So, Friday night we had our Sunday school class over for the Christmas party. There were 16 adults here! It was a blast! I really did have a good time...it was great food and fellowship! Sorry..no pictures.

Saturday, we slept in...no dog, no child...it was nice! Only thing is that we both woke up at 8:00!!!! WHY??!! I guess it's just habit. ANyway, we watched TV for awhile and then went to Red Lobster for lunch for my birthday. We had good food and a SUPER dessert! We picked Rachel up and then went to the church for the Christmas play. Brice was the main character...he did a fantastic job!!! My children's choir sang and they did great too! Sunday was church. Brice had to be there at 7:00 am for a deacon's meeting where they asked him a ton of questions in preparation for deacon's ordination. Rachel and I got ready and went for the early service, went to Granny's for lunch, and then back home for a VERY short nap thanks to Rachel. I watched some football...my favorite thing to do on Sundays! We went back to the church for the 2nd and final production of the Christmas play. I think it was just as good as the first night and honestly I am really glad that it's over. It is just so much work!

Sunday night...LOVED watching the Cowboys beat the Giants!! WOO HOO!!

I now have a SUPER sore throat. I really hope that I am not getting sick again. The weather is absolutely BATTY! It was 80 degrees yesterday and like 35 out now. Geez!

This week should be filled with less excitement than last. Normal work week for the husband. I am not working at all. We have a fellowship with desserts on Wednesday, music class in the morning for Rachel. Thursday evening I am going with Brice to his work Christmas party to eat some expensive food (his words)! We will have an uneventful weekend and then start getting ready for Christmas the following week and traveling to Arkansas!

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.
