great weekend, busy weekend. got to see my son play basketball, go to dinner with friends, and relax after church on sunday.
our pastor has been doing a series on 30 days to live. what would you cut out of your day, what would you change, and that type thing. it is interesting to think about if you had 30 days, what would be easy to let go, what would seem like a waste of time? i think there are many things that i would adjust in my life. i would take longer walks, i get a ways away and start thinking of all the things i need to do and head back, i would never do that again, come to think of it, i will try that one for sure...
went to basketball tournaments all day saturday. it is so fun to be with 12 year olds, they are still so nice, and have such big dreams, that is before the world gets hold of them. my 12 year old wants to play basketball for the university of iowa. i BELIEVE he will. they are a great group, silly and funny and it is always fun with them.
sunday, was different. i don't know if having my dad die and wondering about what emotions to feel and how to react, i think finally made me tired. i just sat down after church and my son and i watched a NCIS marathon. junk food, hours of tv, lots of green tea, and good company, can fix anything, i needed perspective. we live in a time that if you are not getting something done, or creating something or running somewhere, you are not contributing...well, all of you got my prayers yesterday and i just unwound, most of the time, i am wound! that is something else i would do, if my child says "mom want to watch some tv with me and just be", my answer is yes!
i decorate my sisters windows, she has a dance studio, she is really good at it. but i love the girly creative end of doing a window. so i am off to do the march green, and take down the valentines. we took shoes to give to orphans in afghanistan and collected 50 pair. what a blessing that others took the plight of those children seriously. so,until tomorrow, blessings, blessings, blessings on your lives and your families.

Hi Cindy! I sure do enjoy reading your blogs. They seem just like you are sitting there thinking and writing your thoughts down as they come up. Like day dreaming! One of these days I'll try to set up one of my own but it couldn't be as good as yours. I had supper with your 12 year old tonight along with his friend, TJ. Interesting! They always order more than they can eat, but they were hungry and I love their company and listening to their chatter. Last night I ate one evening meal with BJ then turned around and ate again with Daric an hour later. The second time I just had a bowl of Subway soup! Tomorrow morning Daric wants me to pick him up at 7:00 am and take him to Hardee's for breakfast. Nice way to start the day. I sure don't mind your taking these trips cause it gives me more time to spend with your boys. I'm waiting now for Daric to call me from either the weight room or the CC to pick him up and drive him home.
ReplyDeleteWell, good night and have a safe trip home.
God's blessings to you!
