Happy Friday Eve!

Tomorrow will be a glorious day!  It's Friday, payday and date night! Somehow all the stars and planets have aligned to make all three of these things happen at once. And to add to the gloriousness, The Hubs cleaned up the kitchen after dinner tonight - even started the dishwasher! I'm a lucky woman, I am!
This weekend looks to be VERY busy.  We originally only had 1 basketball game and a baseball practice - but it has now transformed into 4 basketball games and a baseball practice. Oh, and a worship practice in preparation for the WOE conference - all between the hours of 10:00 am and 8:00 pm. Hopefully, we can fit in some meals and a nap for Little Bit too. The Hubs and I had a hard time figuring out when we could schedule in our Valentine's date night.  Does it mean we're getting old since we'd rather go on Friday night without the crowds? Um, old and cheap. . .
I used to think I could NEVER have someone come and clean my house for me. I mean, do I really want someone to know how dirty we really are?  I hear there are people who clean ovens and baseboards and ceiling fans.  I'd rather just move. (Sorry Mom, I know I was the "neat" child, but I'm just plain tired now.)
The nighttime ritual has begun - kids' showers and baths, teeth brushed, backpacks straightened and laid out with jackets and shoes.  And this mawmaw and paps have put "Planet Earth" on while the fire crackles.  Can somebody come put these kids to bed?  I have a blanket to curl up in. . .
Happy Friday Eve!

I am a Promise!

I am a Promise! I am a possibility.   I am a Promise,   With a capital 'P'. I am a great, big bundle of potentiality!     And I am learning to hear God's voice. And I am trying to make the right choice. I am a promise to be anything He wants me to be! (My future scientist, artist, engineer and vet are courtesy of the Houston Children's Museum.)

Stupid is as stupid does

Ok, so have you ever had one of those days where things are just messed up?  That was me today. I stayed up too late last night so it was hard to get up this morning.  Had to be at work for an 8:00 meeting and caught EVERY red light between my neighborhood and work.  No big deal, they weren't ready to start when I walked in (with my supervisor) at 8:05.  But, in order to get there even close to 8:00, I skipped making a stop at the gas station to fill up.  I did the math all the way to work - when did the light come on? How many miles had I gone since then?  After work, I planned to stop at the nearest gas station - but, you guessed it, I didn't make it.  Nothing like running out of gas in rush hour traffic! I sat there, embarrassed, trying not to look at the people glaring at me as they passed me - I was stopped just shy of a major intersection.  The Hubs was close by so he came to my rescue - but my car keeps the radio and lights running for 10 minutes after you turn it off un

Winter Storm 2011

Well, I think we're going to make it. The threat of 5 inches of snow is now past - and we've not missed a single moment of electricity or heat. The biggest dilemma at our house is that the Xbox won't play right now.  Kid #1 continues to ask "What are we gonna do today?" and we finally answered with "Nothing!" I do need to introduce you to the newest members of the family. . . The two tetras have been around for several years and just got upgraded to a bigger tank. They have now been joined by 2 beautiful guppies and a molly.  None of them have been named yet, but I'm putting in my vote today: the black one should be 'Vader' (as in Darth), and I think the guppies should be Phineas and Ferb.  The tetras would have to be 'Peat' and 'Repeat' since you can't tell the difference between them.  What do you think?  (Which is funny that I ask, because a. you probably won't respond and b. they're not my fish to name) I&
