What We Did this Weekend
Really a little this and that and nothing and something. . . just trying to get my blogging mojo back on . . . :) Let's see here. . . . Well, Friday night, our friends, the other "Hendrixes" were having over the Davis family. This is a family with 11 children, although 10 are at home. I pitched in and helped Faith with the smorgasbord of food, so we all hung out at their house. Good food. Good fun. Good fellowship. Saturday morning I got up and did an 11-miler. I told Angela I would run 15 (she was out of town). . . I started out to do that, although Jon almost had to push me out the door. I just couldn't stand the thought of running a long run without someone beside me. I put some sermons on my ipod and listened to them. It was so very muggy, and after 11 miles I. had.had.it. Jon was busy that day looking at a house with Greg G. and went to help Doug L with his water heart. The kids and I stayed at home all day. It was so nice. We did get some really bad waether and had to head to under our stairs in the luandry room. Sweet Hanna was so scared. She just wanted her Daddy. I remember being that way when I was a little girl. . . thinking when my Dad was nearby I was always safe. Ashley immediately said, "Mama, we need to pray." And, . . . we did. All was safe and sound. We had so much leftover food Faith and I decided our families should get together again for more soup and sandwiches. We love their company so much so we were all about it. Our intent was to play Kinect. However, the kiddos got to it. We adults were having too much fun chatting and enjoying one another's company. Just an excuse to have them over again :) Sunday we had church. Then we went to one of my favorite restaurants in town. . . Spicy Thai. It is G-town's hidden treasure. . .Yum, yum good. We came home and I took a 3-1/2 hour nap. Got up just in time to put some sweats on to go to "Truth Project". I'm so loving it. I plan on going through it again, and maybe a 3rd time. It is THAT good! We then went to El Charro, came home, put the kiddos in the bed, and hit the sack. . . I'm really hoping this post will get me back into the blogging groove. Hope to post tomorrow!

She's a Riot
All week it has been project organize and throw away here at our house. These moods don't strike me often, so when they do, I'm all over it. I got Ash's room all cleaned and organized, and after 3 bags of trash later, it's clean as a whistle.
Today was Hanna's room day. I went through all of her clothes to sort out all that she'd outgrown. I had them in a big pile and told her to put them in garbage bags.
As she was working on this for me she blurts out, "I feel like I'm on 'What not to Wear'". She's only 6 years old I tell ya!!! That girl is a hoot and a half!

Dear Days of the Week
Dear Days of the Week:
You know each one of you have your very own identity to me, but for the most part Monday through Saturday you all start out the same.
3:50 AM -Alarm goes off and it's "time to make the donuts". . .which means work. Head downstairs to get coffee.
5:30 AM - Back downstairs for more coffee.
6:15 AM - Coffee I love you. . . need another cup.
7:45 AM - I think it should be "4th time's a charm rather than 3". . . by my 4th cup I'm feeling GOOD!!!
8:00 AM - Kids start getting up. I have to pry Alec out of bed.
9:00 AM - Stop working, go fix breakfast.
9:30 AM - Get school started. We always start with our Bible first. . . it's the most important and, honestly, if our day is hurried, I won't get it in if I don't do it first.
10:15 AM - Kids working on their assignments. I'll go run/workout. . . whatever is in order for the day.
1:00 PM - Break for lunch.
1:30 PM - Back to finish up school (at this point the kids don't need me hoarding over them.
2:00 PM - Go back to work (I'm having to work a little bit in the afternoons now. . . so thankful that there is a lot of work on the system right now).
3:00 PM - I will go and read by Bible. I've tried to do it in the morning, but b/c work is so much in volume right now I find my mind is focused on working and I feel "hurried" through my quiet time. Kids start their chores.
4:00 PM - Try to do whatever chores are needed to be done that day. .. but also I may hop in the shower and start getting ready for whatever we have to do that afternoon.
Dear Monday . . . I love you and I hate you. . . but at least I love you, right? Mondays are normally my long run days. Sometime I wake up at 2:00 AM Monday just to greet you. . . to get a little bit of work in before I go and meet my friend at 5:00 AM to run with. I must squeeze in a nap sometime on you Monday. Later in your evening, Monday, my dear friends come over and we gather together to study the word of God and to grow and to learn and to have our toes stepped on. Our time is so blessed, it is normally 11:00 before I put you to bed.
Dear Tuesday . . .I'm so tired when I greet you at 3:50 in the morning. I know you want me to be chipper and such. . . but tired is the word. . . but an "oh so worth it tired". . . my body is tired because on Monday I ran anywhere from 10 to 18 miles and my eyes are sleepy because I put Monday to bed so late. But, oh, what a sweet feeling of peace and happiness I feel in my soul. We go throughout our usual day... and Tuesday evening we go see our "soccer family". Tuesday, if you're lucky, you're put to bed around 9:30.
Dear Wednesday . . .Good morning at 3:50!!! This day is pretty much the normal routine until church that night. We leave the house at 5:30 and return about 8:30-9:00. It's so good to eat with our church friends and family. And, Wednesday, I love you because I always get excited about going to my Bibliology/Hermaneutics class on Wednesday night. I'm learning so much. So, Wednesday, my head gets full of facts and knowledge. . . so much so, sometimes I think it might explode as I'm leaving class. You, dear Wednesday, are normally put to bed around 10:00.
Dear Thursday. . . okay, Thursday. . . sometimes by the time you roll around I'm exhausted. I think I grit my teeth when the alarm goes off at 3:50. I'm really tired physically and mentally. . . sometimes to the point of tears . . . depending on my mood. If I'm really good to myself, dear Thursday, I will squeeze in a nap on you. If I can't make it work, then my eyes get heavy around 8:00 PM. However, I try to purge through so I can watch "The Office" with my hubby. After "The Office" it is off to bed, off to bed I said. Thursday, you know we squeeze ballet into you and sometimes running club. We enjoy both very much because we get to see our friends.
Dear Friday . . . it is our lightest school day and one of our "easiest going" days around here. Work still abounds and there are chores to be done, but the kids have more free time than the rest of the week. Most times we have Running Club that afternoon. We also have soccer practice. Sometimes we get together with friends or the kids have friends spend the night. Fridays are usually restful as far as the evening time goes. . . which is OH.SO.NICE!!!
Dear Saturday. . . although I'm looking forward to the day when I can sleep in on a Saturday . . . I greet you bright and early, but it's not until 5:00 AM though. I normally work until about 8:00 AM or 9:00 AM. Then it's time to get ready and, depending on the season, head to the soccer field or basketball court. Normally after that we have a birthday party or maybe doing something with friends or just enjoying a quiet night at home.
Dear Blessed Sunday. . . oh how I love you. I sleep in until 6:00 AM, wake up get my coffee, head to what we call the "Coastal Room" and have some sweet quiet time with the LORD. No pressure to get work done today. We leave our house about 9:30 and head to church. We get home about 1:00. We eat and then I head upstairs for my Sunday nap. The more and more I read Scripture, the more important I see how important it is that we rest on Sunday. I really try hard and do this. My Sunday nap pretty much happens every Sunday. I get up, we enjoy some family time, then its back off to church. I really, really love our new church. It deserves a whole post of its own. Sunday is really my very favorite day of the week!!!
So, there you go, days of the week. You keep me busy, and there are times when I'm exhausted. You keep me in the hustle and bustle .. . but the times when we have "down time" are all the more special. .. they are savored like a good cup of coffee. Honestly, I think I'm kinda wired to be busy . . . I'm so thankful God has provided me with the energy to keep up the hectic schedule that you demand from me "days of the week". I'm so thankful we have the finances to participate in things that keep us busy. It has brought us many special relationships.
