Holidays

I was really in a funk yesterday. I mean REALLY! I usually look forward to the holidays with the excitement of a kid in a candy store, but actually caught myself dreading this week! Yesterday, I was so busy wallowing in self pity and depression, I totally forgot about the entire meaning of Thanksgiving! I mean...hello!
Everyone knows that most holidays bring out how crazy or dysfunctional your family is. Some more than others.

But I had to really sit back and focus on Phil 4:6:
"Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with THANKSGIVING let your requests be made known to God."

I am thankful! God has given me a wonderful husband. A precious son. A beautiful home. A supporting family. An awesome church family. Incredible friends. Amazing jobs. Chocolate....


So have a blessed and Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

I will.

funny stuff

I always find the most interesting things when cleaning....

Here is a letter that Thomas received his Senior year at Amarillo High from a 2nd Grader. ( The Elementary kids were asked to write the Seniors a letter adressing drinking alcohol on graduation night )
Here is the letter (without corrections to grammer/spelling)

Dear, Thomas Humphries
Do not Drink on graduation night. If you do you could nbe smashed in a car. If you smoke a nickel of pot you "will" be very Dumb. Do not get high or else you will be gone-

sincerly
David W

>Haha....I laugh every time I read this! Sweet little David! :) <

Boys...

I got this forwarded to me and I thought it was cute...


You find out interesting things when you have sons, like...

1.) A king size waterbed holds enough water to fill a 2000 sq. ft.
house 4 inches deep.

2.) If you spray hair spray on dust bunnies and run over them with
roller blades, they can ignite.

3.) A 3-year old Boy's voice is louder than 200 adults in a
crowded restaurant.

4.) If you hook a dog leash over a ceiling fan, the motor is not
strong enough to rotate a 42 pound Boy wearing Batman underwear and
a Superman cape. It is strong enough, however, if tied to a paint
can, to spread paint on all four walls of a 20x20 ft. room.

5.) You should not throw baseballs up when the ceiling fan is on.
When using a ceiling fan as a bat, you have to throw the ball up a few times before you get a hit. A ceiling fan can hit a baseball a long way.

6.) The glass in windows (even double-pane) doesn't stop a
baseball hit by a ceiling fan.

7.) When you hear the toilet flush and the words "uh oh", it's already too late.

8.) Brake fluid mixed with Clorox makes smoke, and lots of it.

9.) A six-year old Boy can start a fire with a flint rock even
though a 36-year old Man says they can only do it in the movies.

10.) Certain Lego's will pass through the digestive tract of a 4-year old Boy.

11.) Play dough and microwave should not be used in the same sentence.

12.) Super glue is forever.

13.) No matter how much Jell-O you put in a swimming pool you still can't walk on water.

14.) Pool filters do not like Jell-O.

15) VCR's do not eject "PB & J" sandwiches even though TV commercials show they do.

16.) Garbage bags do not make good parachutes.

17.) Marbles in gas tanks make lots of noise when driving.

18.) You probably DO NOT want to know what that odor is.

19.) Always look in the oven before you turn it on; plastic toys do not like ovens.

20.) The fire department in Austin, TX has a 5-minute response time.

21.) The spin cycle on the washing machine does not make earthworms dizzy.

22.) It will, however, make cats dizzy.

23.) Cats throw up twice their body weight when dizzy.

24.) 80% of Women will pass this on to almost all of their
friends, with or without kids.

25.) 80% of Men who read this will try mixing the Clorox and brake fluid.

lost and found.

I was cleaning house and found some notes to a song that I wrote when I was 15...
He is Faithful.


(verse 1)
It's 1:00AM and you're up again
So lonely and confused
So sick of being no one
And tired of being used
You wanna relax and just fall into
Someone's arms and feel loved
Hang on a little while more
Cause Someone's about to come

(Chorus)
He is the One you give your troubles to
So let those burdens go
When you're crying at night
He sees those tears fall
And He just wants you to know,
"I am the One who made your every part
Especially that fragile heart.
Don't give it away that easily!
Child, if you would only trust Me."

(verse 2)
You think that boy who just caught your eye
Could be the one to love
He could hold you close and kiss your tears away
Like an angel from above
So you pour out your heart and give yourself away
Not thinking about the end
When he leaves you stranded
Alone and rejected
Who to turn to now?

(repeat Chorus)

(bridge)
He will always be there to pick you up
Every time you fall down hard
And when you go to Him with a humble heart
He only sees a Child of God!!
