Midweek Musings

I know that I normally do these little weekly updates on Wednesday, but tomorrow is the 100th Day of School, so I will have plenty of other content to post.  Today I want to dump some photos from the phone and jot down a few little things to remind me of the ordinary moments in life.


Friday I was in charge of helping with our monthly birthday celebration at work, so my "office mom" and I went to Sam's on our lunch break. She's the best, ya'll.  I hope to someday make work as fun for a newbie as she has for me!


I took this picture one day last week too.  I try to get up every morning to shower and have my prayer time before the busyness of the day.  Since I threw out that last statement, I want to humbly admit that lately I haven't been getting up as early as I should, so that means an abbrieveted time (shame on me). 

 Anyway, Ellie woke up early this particular morning, and sat with me while I prayed.  I ended up praying over her the whole time, and snapped the sweet picture. 

 Working moms, some days it's harder to leave than other.  Hang in there with me...we are awesome!!


This picture was from a different morning, but when I came back into the family room after making the beds, this is the way I found them. See, proof that they are sweet sometimes.  Bless it, ya'll.  AHHH!

Again, because I can't stand Polly Perfects, I wanna keep it real and say that my house is far from clean.  I just try to make of habit of picking up to tidy up my mind.  I have a long way to go in this department.


Finally, let's talk about being Kentuckian.  I'm toying with the idea of a post dedicated to my love for this state, but I'm afraid ya'll will quit being my friend.  Ha!  For now I will share this.  Chaney's Dairy Barn is a must if you are in Southern Kentucky (SOKY), and what could be more Kentuckian than...Bourbon Ice Cream?!?  Seriously, it's as delightful has it sounds; sorta like really sweet Bourbon balls.

And yes.  I realize that I just spoke about Jesus a few paragraphs above, but let's not judge.  We're not talking about getting drunk and jumping on the crazy train.  It's just bourbon ice cream!

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...

Sunday Funday

Ellie redeemed herself last night by sleeping EIGHT STRAIGHT HOURS!!  Ya'll, we are so blessed to have a good sleeper, and Eli is doing great too!  There are no word to express our gratitude. I try to get pictures on Sundays before church because it's pretty much the only day that we all look presentable, at least at the same time.  Some days I still have on work clothes and look ok, but the kids are in sweats from daycare, or they're looking super cute and I'm in gym clothes.  Please tell me you understand this! At church today, a friend's son gave Eli two brand new pair of baseball pants.  Brett plays ball for a local high school, and Eli thinks he hung the moon.  You can imagine how excited he was to sport his new pants.  As soon as we got home, Eli had change into them and a baseball shirt...love his heart! Eric let me take a little nap, and when I woke up we decided to let Eli swim in the kiddie pool since it's about a ba...
