Midweek Musings

Happy Wednesday.  I can’t believe that we are halfway through the workweek, but I guess that’s what happens when you have a day off. I don’t have too much to “muse” about today, honestly.

I have been so busy that I haven’t made it to the gym, but I did get a few items knocked off of my To- Do list yesterday during lunch. Eric and I met at Sam’s Club for a hot date/lunch this afternoon while he was getting his new tires put on the truck, so there’s that. My goal is to get back at it tomorrow.


The kids have been pooped here lately. At least one child has gone to bed early every night (why can’t it ever be both of them), so Eric and I started watching the History Channel’s mini series on the Kennedy family.  Ya’ll know my history-loving heart is loving every minute of it.



Oh, and I’m behind on laundry.  I was doing so well too.  Having Monday off and working last night just threw a spur in my wheel.  We have church tonight, so I won’t be doing any cleaning until at least tomorrow, but it can wait.  At least my house smells like a giant, delicious, cinnamon, pumpkin.


Is Eli's artwork from today not the cutest? I love how large he drew himself in the right photo, and poor Ellie has the largest eyes.  Ha!  PS- the left drawing is of him kicking someone in basketball. I'm not sure what that's about, but at least he drew under the caption of, "When I am angry, I should not..."


Other than those random facts that further solidify my boring, yet wonderfully blessed life, I have nothing new to report.  Oh, I almost forgot.  The "wicked Witch of Western Kentucky" says HAPPY FALL!!

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...
