Time is ticking away

Where did the night go?  I was working on some things and looked up and it was 9:30 and my children hadn't even had their showers yet! So, my list of things to get done tonight is NOWHERE near done. . .
My parents are coming to visit and my house is not in spic and span condition. I have tried, in vain, to get some badges printed and ready for the conference this weekend. And, I don't have all my notes typed out and in a presentation-ready state.  But, God is faithful and it will all get done!  The Hubs helped me finish up the 4 loads of laundry that were done (I love my new washer/dryer set - is that weird?) and spread across the bed. And he spent some time looking over my notes and helped me organize my thoughts better.  I am thankful for my helpmate!
Speaking of my Valentine, I have to brag on him for a minute.  We planned our date night for Friday night, and I must say he planned very well.  I won't give all the details, but it included dinner, a movie, 3 strategically hidden boxes of James Avery jewelry, and tulips (my favorite).  It's nice to be spoiled sometimes! 
I helped him out a little by circling things in the James Avery catalog that I liked. I did it one evening after it had come in the mail in January.  A few days later, he asked what I wanted for Valentines and I said "Flowers, I guess." Then, I saw the catalog laying nearby, grabbed it and said "Or, I just happen to have a few things circled here that I like."  How convenient! What's funny is, after I got it in the mail, I left it laying out in the living room so that I could look at it when I had more time (and a pen handy), and he thought I left it out for him!  Sorry ladies, I'm just not that kind of schemer.
It's late and I need to get one last load of laundry in the dryer so Kid #2 has some baseball pants for tomorrow's practice. . .

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&
