It's A Monday

Ya'll I woke up this morning with the best intentions to work, make my blog current, clean, go to the grocery and clean my house.  Yeah...doubt any of that will happen today.

I should have known it was a Monday when I hit a stupid bag in the middle of the road on my way into the station.  Of course it wouldn't come out from under the car, so I had to pull over on the side of the road at 5:00 am to try and get it out.

That's when I decided that I needed McDonald's Sweet Tea to get things rolling.  The problem is, when I pulled up to the window to pay I couldn't find my wallet.  Lucky for me, it was in the carseat.  This meant I had to once again put the car in park, get out, and search through the backseat to pay.  I'm so glad that I'm the only one who frequents a drive-thru at that hour because otherwise it could have been bad.

Now, you would think that was the end of this McDonald's episode, but you'd be wrong!  When I made it to the second window my car was beeping like crazy and I was trying to figure out what the heck was going on.  The poor man handing me my sweet tea had to inform me that I had left the back door open....good thing Eli wasn't in tow!

Fast forward to later this morning when I tried to upload pictures to blogger.  For some reason it wouldn't let me so I had to save them to my computer and then load then.  Can you say "time sucker!"  Anyway, when I family got them loaded, I got a nice little message informing me that I was out of space and would have to purchase more.  RRH.  Don't get me wrong, the $2.95 isn't an issue...it's running out to the car to find my wallet that's the problem.

So, this is my Monday sob story and my resolve to get you some pictures up by sometime tomorrow.  We really did have a great weekend, and I can't wait to share it with you.  Until then, I think an afternoon nap and a bubble bath are in order!!

    Haha, I had so many days like this during pregnancy! These little episodes reminded me of you leaving your car running in the parking lot freshman year...;) So funny.

A New Decade

Happy 2020, everyone!  I know I'm a month and a half behind, but ya'll, January was brutal!  Not brutal in a tragic kind of way but in a "life will wear you out" kind of way. It started off with the flu...times three!  Eric, Ellie and I had Flu B and missed the first week back to school and work.  Then Eli was diagnosed with Flu A two weeks later.  Thankfully, my in-laws stepped in to help so that we didn't have to miss any more time at work. On top of the sickness, we listed our house for sale. The work it takes getting ready for market is just crazy. But we also have people coming in and out of our home at all hours and it's just kinda overwhelming. Plus, we are finalizing everything with the builder. In full transparency, working with the builder has been the easiest part! Maybe I'll do a little update on the whole building process later this week.  Now that the dust has settled on 2020, I'm going to try my very hardest to keep this litt...

Running Through The Sprinkler

Playing in the sprinkler was on our summer bucket list.  To me it seems weird just checking if off and moving on to the next activity because when I was younger, we ran through a sprinkler pretty much every day.  Putting it under the trampoline and letting it keep all the "jumpers" cool, was a favorite pastime. I cringe now. What the heck were we doing with eight kids on a net-free trampoline anyway? Ha! Back to the present…Eric treated the pool yesterday, so we couldn't swim which made it the perfect night to drag out the water hose and sprinkler.   Neither child loved it at first, so we turned down the pressure.  They slowly but surely warmed up to it.  Bless her little heart, Ellie stood right in the middle and took a direct hit.  She would make the worst face you've ever seen then cry ridiculsouly if you tried to move her.  Eli ran straight though the middle with his eyes closed.  Thank goodness our y...

The Best Is Yet To Be

My two grandmothers are 87 and 97 years old this year, which is pretty amazing if you think about it.  They've lived through the Great Depression, World War II, the Korean War, President Kennedy's assassination, the race to space, the rise and fall of communism, the advancement of the information era, the attacks of 9/11, Covid, and dozen other "once in a lifetime" events.  They remember when indoor plumbing was a luxury and yet know what social media is. They're amazing. I can't wrap my mind around the magnitude of what they have witnessed. They lived in real time what we can only read about in history books.  It's incredible if you let it sink in. Maybe that's why they're different...not just them, but their entire generation. They're not like us.   They don't give up when things are tough. They don't complain about hardships or the unfairness of life. They don't fold under pressure or cower when they face uncertainty.  They speak...
