Crazy With A Capital "C"

Today I left work sick. I've left early many times, but never for being sick. I don't think I would have gone home had my doctor's office not advised it. Regardless, it was a good decision because I ended up taking a three hour nap. I honestly think my exhaustion more than likely was the culprit of a wonderfully blessed week and a super crazy Wednesday.

After work yesterday I ran home to clean a little bit and do some laundry. Then I picked Eli up at daycare. We had to run a few errands and stop by the post office to mail the fabric for Ellie's curtains . My dad working his magic, and I can't wait to see them. I also sent a "get well" card to my aunt Karen who had a double mastectomy this morning. PRAISE THE LORD the cancer is contained and her reconstructive surgery went well!

After our errands Eli and I met Emma, Macy, and Abby Drew for a play date at Just Kiddin'. It's an indoor playground with bouncy houses for the kids. He had so much fun. Although, seeing how much these two have grown nearly breaks my heart!

After getting out a little energy, Eli and I headed to church for Wednesday night dinner. My class usually starts early, which means I don't get to go to dinner. However, our new study is a little shorter which means a later start time and a chance to eat dinner with our church family.

I think Eli was pretty happy with the new arrangement because he and Griffin loved eating together and running around before the church service started. Who am I kidding? Eli ran around in the nursery and the new church building while I toured it. I can't say that I'm sorry because last night he slept like a dream!!

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

Mother's Day Memories

I hope everyone had a wonderful Mother's Day. I want to start by saying that my heart and prayers go out to the "Mommies in Waiting" and to those who are missing their Momma on this special day. You are not forgotten. We started Mother's Day at church with our crew, and we were lucky enough to be in the nursery. We let Eli tag along, and he helped facility "Derby Races" around the table while the kids were on riding toys. It was a hoot! We also made cards for the mommies. We had some leftovers at home for lunch and then I spent some time laying out while Eric worked on the pool. It was almost 90 degrees and the perfect way to relax on my special day! Eric made me a shrimp boil for dinner, and we took a family trip to Dairy Queen. They also have presents coming later this week for me. Basically, they are awesome!

Hit Me With Your Best Shot

Have I ever told you that Eli loves sports? Ha! I look back at him with baseballs and basketballs at 18 months old ,and it blows my mind that he's still so interested. The thing is, he doesn't discriminate. Baseball, basketball, football, soccer...you name it, we play it! Not only do we play sports all day, we also have to watch certain videos on Youtube. We watch "Boys of Fall," while wearing a football helmet. We watch Alabama's "Cheap Seats," John Fogerty's"Centerfield," and Kenny Rogers, "The Greatest" while holding a bat, carrying a ball, and wearing a batting helmet. And now, thanks to Space Jam, we have to listen to the movie sound track while shooting hoops! That's a blast from the past! He hasn't found a song about soccer or golf...YET! And with all that playing, who has time to run inside for a potty break? Not this boy! I never thought
