i don't know...stuff :)

upon spending a relaxing weekend at my parents house, i returned home on monday to a letter from the previous foster-grandmother of kade and lily. she wrote me once before about 7 mths ago. anyway, i know she is still grieving. however, she says things like, "i just wanted you to know that you can take my babies but you can't take my love for them". as if, I took her babies. anyway, just a little venting. it's strange for someone you don't really know to being calling my children their babies.

moving on...my hubby is out of town until tomorrow. we are very ready for him to come home. he is at youth conclave in Arlington. i don't sleep well when he isn't here. it's comforting to know if someone tried to break in that you have a big, strong man next to you. of course, if i were to be completely honest....kyle is such a heavy sleeper that he would probably sleep through it. in reality, i would be the one that would have to beat somebody up. well, try anyway!

kade is having his circumcision and correction on friday. i'm getting a little nervous. i just don't know how much pain he is going to be in when he wakes up. please be praying for him...thanks!

change of plans...

the kids and i were supposed to go to my sisters this weekend. it didn't work out...which is a good thing because the twins both have bronchitis sp?. they are on four medications right now...good grief. we are having a leisurely sunday morning. it's nice. i always hate missing church, but it is nice not to have to get everybody dressed up and out the door at a certain time.

we are at my parents house. my mom and i took the kids to the pumpkin patch yesterday. i got some cute pics that i will post later.

it's supposed to rain today.....praise the Lord!!! everywhere needs it.

happy sunday!

love, love, love...

i awoke this morning to my son loving on me. i'm amazed how God loves me through my children. he has been hugging and kissing on me all morning. some of you know how much i need that right now!

met melanie in waco last night for a nice steak dinner, a little shopping and starbucks. the greatness of our friendship is that we know each other by default. we've known each other since we were 14 and have been friends since 17 and were college roommates for 2 1/2 years. she knows me. she gets me. she loves me. our friendship is comfy...like my favorite pair of pajama pants :) can you describe a friendship like that? well...i just did :) i love you, mel-bel!

naucious rest...but rest!

i've basically been laying around all day. we were supposed to go to a wedding this evening...but i got the bug. rylee, who is still with my parents, also has the bug. fun times for the wilson clan. i am feeling better. i could've done without the nausea and other things i won't mention, but it has been nice to rest.

TGIF...

Kyle normally goes to work at the Kennel in Ennis every Friday. However, yesterday he got a stomach bug so he was home today. Rylee is with my parents in Abilene, having a blast. They had to go pick up a bed from my brother and are also going to see my mom's parents while they are there.

Pray the rest of us don't get the virus. My stomach has been feeling yucky since dinner.

Mel...glad you found your way back to my blog! Love ya!

Peace out, everbody!

a funeral, a misunderstanding and a child's prayer...

today was today. we went to the funeral of a youth's dad that passed away. it's always hard when a kid loses their parent at such a young age. he had suffered from a brain tumor for a long time, so it was a bitter/sweet end. it was a nice funeral, as funerals go. he was a believer which always gives comfort to those mourning.

had a lovely misunderstanding with a friend. i hate those....hate, hate, hate! you know the kind where you go over everything that was said and you go back and forth with yourself about whether you said something wrong or the other person overreacted...anyway, one of those lovely occurances.

needless to say, by the end of the day i was emotionally worn out, being snappy with my kids etc. i got the twins ready for bed and the kids and i sat in kade's room to say our prayers. kade and lily mumbled their precious little prayers that only God can understand :) Then Rylee said, Dear God, Thank you for this day and please help mommy to be good. In Jesus Name, Amen. Now, i'm not exactly sure what she meant by good...but i'll take it :)

tired...

i'm so tired tonight. long sunday, church, elevate group, youth meeting, talked with a youth for a couple of hoursjiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii...see i fell asleep on my keyboard. more tomorrow! :)
