Why is it that once you have put fresh, clean sheets on everyones' bed, something always happens! This is how our week began. Somehow, Carter ended up with a bloody nose, than used our sheets to help stop the bleeding. Hunter had an accident, Bradlynn was blessed to have Hunter spill his chocolate milk on her sheets, and Chase well, it can just be expected with a baby...
Okay now that I have some relief, we had such a beautiful weekend, the weather was great! Bradlynn started volleyball yesterday and was very excited that when she served, the ball made it over the net! She has been practicing with Carters soccer ball. We will have to keep you posted once their games begin. Carter is thrilled to have easy spelling words this week... one, two, by, cry, he etc. I told him he should be able to get 100% on the pretest so when Friday comes around, he will not have to take the test. We shall see...
I don't know how many of you have ever been in a book club, I just joined my first- very excited about it. Aunt Kay, a dear friend, always talked of her book club and how she learned so much about herself and others. The one I am in is actually online, Lisa Whelchel's- the gal who played Blaire on Facts of Life. I have a couple of her books,and found them filled with spiritual, helpful and practical ideas, thoughts. Creative Corrections, is my favorite. (The title pretty much sums the book) Anyway, back to the book club. This mth the book is about Sarah, Hagar, Rebekah, Leah, and Rachel. ( I've seen these books at our christian bookstore and never picked them up because the title, to be truthful, scared me a little, I will let you in on that at the end.) We just finished the intro and chapter one, which was on Sarah. Knowing of Sarah and Abraham in Genesis, I have never taken their story apart, like the author does. Man! What about Sarah!- I have to admit, there are some of us just like Sarah, me included. How many times I can count that I wish I would have just been still and let God's plan BE God's plan. Oh how the blessings I have missed because I was not patient! I am a little nervous to keep reading, how many of the other ladies stories are going to hit home! Well, the title is, Slightly Bad Girls of the Bible. The cover doesn't help the title either, I guess when i write my own book, I can let my marketing team haggle with Me:) Well, I didn't set my timer this time, I should have--- I am a little behind on today's list of things to get accomplished. With that I hope everyone has a blessed day!
