Blessings and other ramblings from my day

Let me start of with the blessings.

  1. A boss that is a family man and understands when children are sick or their are issues with daycare and things of that nature.
  2. A husband that loves me and wants to pamper me.
  3. Getting extra one on one time with my baby boys tonight as I held them while they were sleeping and just got that special quiet time to soak in the moment.
  4. My friend Christy Cabler. Are friendship began 20 years ago in Mrs. Stockard's Social Studies class. I got to spend some time with her today and I cherish every visit we get these days.
  5. A productive day at work.
  6. For the conversation I had with God this afternoon and just knowing that he loves me just as I am.

So on to the ramblings from my day. I really don't think I have as many now that I have listed out some of my blessings. I feel a little less agitated after listing out those blessings. I know it is silly but it still just amazes me how that list can totally change my mood and perspective.

Now that I am not so inclined to complain let me just share some feelings about the day. Today was a pretty good day and it had a very special surprise visit from my friend Christy. I realized tonight that we have been friends since 1988....that is over 20 years now. I just love that fact. I know it makes me sound old but it is just such a comfort to know that you have lifelong friends through thick and thin. We have had good and bad times and lived hundreds of miles apart but we have remained friends and I just find that so comforting. I wander what we will be like when we are at the next 20 year milestone.

My other ramble for the day is really just a shout out to my hubby for being so awesome. I just love him for all the little things he does that he doesn't even have a clue makes me smile. Like the way he walks through the door in the evenings anxious to hug me and see his boys or the way he shares his day with me and wants to know details about my day. He is so loving and sweet. I love so many little quirks and habits he has just because they are his. I hope I never take these feelings for granted. I am so blessed to have him. Well, I am deliriously sleepy so forgive any grammatical errors. Goodnight.

Operator Error!!!!

Okay so I got the mobile app thinking that I might find time to post more stories and thoughts and some how I made two old post into drafts!  Since this blog is basically a family journal for me and I want to keep each post I am reposting them.  So when you see stories about babies don't think we have had a time warp!  It is just me reposting old post so I don't lose them!

What a morning!!!!

Original Post 8/30/2008 It is just now 8:11 AM and my morning has already been chaotic! I woke up to Coleman crying ready to eat at 5:30....This is 30 minutes after I should have been up getting ready. I was just too tired I guess because I never heard the alarm clock. So out of bed I jump and run downstairs and get a bottle for Coleman and realize that Jackson is now crying too. Where is Trey in all this?!?!?! Still asleep! How is it that a mom hears every cry and a dad has selective hearing? At this point I run back upstairs and get Trey awake and tell him he has to feed Coleman and then I go to check on Jackson and he is hungry so back downstairs we go with sheep, his stuffed animal that is his best friend to cozy up to at night. We get downstairs and he wants a banana and some milk. I get all this together and then we start back upstairs and I see a bunny outside the house through one of the sidelights next to the door and I stop everything because I know Jackson would love to se...

5:22

Sorry for the delay in posting this as a sequel to my last post on May 22 nd . I got home on that particular Friday night and I laid down with Jackson to try and get him to sleep and the verse Galatians 5:22 popped in my head. I thought that was weird since I had woke up at 5:22 that morning...and as I put it together today...it was the 5 th month and the 22 nd day! Coincidence? I think not. So being that I am the mom of two little ones. I ended up collapsing and waking up at 5:22 Saturday morning. My first reaction was OH NO how did I sleep in here all night? This is not good. Jackson will expect this! Where is Trey? Why didn't he wake me up? Then I realize it is 5:22 AM and God is saying Galatians 5:22 in my Student bible that moved with me to Nashville. So at this point I go to the bonus room open up the bible to Galatians and read a section on the fruits of the spirit and then I go to the verses and find "But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindne...
