What a Special Day!

June 29th. It is my 25th wedding anniversary and my son's 19th birthday! Yes, that's right on the same day! I am so thankful for my guys.

The GuitarMan was my first child. He brings such a sweet joy to my life! Obviously there is always music when he is here for he loves the guitar. He has a dry wit about him that will surprise you! He is one of those people who has a quiet presence yet can turn right around and be the life of the party. Now that he is getting older our relationship is shifting from one of parent/child to one of trusted friend and confidante. But Mama will always be Mama! I am so thankful that he knows he can come to me and be met with respect and love! I can't imagine my life without him.

I am so blessed to be married to The FisherMan! It's hard to believe I have been committed to him for 25 years now and have loved him even longer. He loves me and daily prays for me and asks the Lord to guide our family. He encourages me, he protects me, and is always there for me. And oh, how he can make me laugh! He is an awesome husband and father. I am so thankful for everything he does, for everything he is.


You're My Best Friend

by Tim Mcgraw


I never had no one that I could count on

I been that down so many times

I was tired of hurtin' so tired of searchin'

Til you walked into my life

It was a feelin' I'd never known

And for the first time I didn't feel alone



You stand by me

You believe in me

Like nobody ever has

When my world goes crazy

You're right there to save me

You make me see how much I have
You're more than a lover

There could never be another

To make me feel the way you do

Oh, we just get closer

I fall in love all over

Every time I look at you

I don't know where I'd be

Without you here with me

Life with you makes perfect sense

You're my best friend

You're my best friend

The Season of Pregnancy (updated)

I know. I have been neglecting this blog. Horribly. That's not the only thing that has been thrown by the wayside lately! It is only for a season though. Pregnancy means you must be patient with yourself and accept that sometimes you must let things slide. That also means that you have to plan in order to conserve your energy. I know if I am going somewhere later today then I don't need to rush around and try to get a lot done in the morning. Priorities must be in order. Although the morning sickness is better it isn't totally gone at this point. Whoever named it that anyway? The main thing I have been dealing with is fatigue. My blog shows it. My laundry shows it. My house shows it. Ack, everywhere shows it! I simply do not have the energy to do the bending up and down required to truly clean up, do laundry, and the vacuuming/sweeping etc. It's quite depressing actually! So I do a little here, do a little there. I manage the necessities such as homeschooling, cooking, ...

Happenings Around Here

Well, another dog lost. :( This time it wasn't a car but something more sinister...a rattlesnake. She was bitten yesterday evening and lasted about 4 1/2 hours. Poor little Chi-Chi is only about 6 pounds or so and just couldn't take the venom. LadyBug seems to be taking it the hardest among the children. Our Bassett Hound, Daisy, and Chi-Chi are the best of friends and poor Daisy has spent the day looking for her. So sad. The GuitarMan has finished his semester and is home now. I introduced him to Pilates this morning. We worked out together. Ha ha, now if that wasn't a sight I just don't know what would be! He has a new found admiration for it now though. Afterwards I cut the FisherMan's hair outside under the plum tree while the children played in the pool. He asked if there was a way we could be any more redneck. I had plenty of ideas on that if he wanted but he didn't want to take part lol. Apparently it was a rhetorical question. This week was one of apprec...

Glory Bread and Lucky Tomatoes

I have never taught my girls any memorized prayers or blessings, preferring instead to just encourage them to pray from the heart. But recently FlowerChild asked about "that blessing about God is good" and I decided since she had an interest I would teach it to them. So if she happens to mention it at snack time I will help her say it. Well, I noticed she was getting a line a bit off the other day. Instead of "Thank you, Lord, for this daily bread" she was saying "Thank you, Lord, for this glory bread." Glory bread. My, my. From the lips of a babe comes a deep theological truth. We should all be partaking of our "glory bread" and thanking God for it on a daily basis. Yet how many times do we feel hungry and try to fill it with worldly junk food instead of turning to pure healthy spiritual food? We get physically hungry and scarf down empty prepackaged calories. Sometimes it's the Twinkies. Sometimes it's a burger. Usually we walk right pa...
