children
As we are getting ready for church Sunday morning, Lacey looks up at her Daddy, in his new black, sharp lookin' dress shirt and says......."daddy, you are really handsome in your old age!"
And then....this morning (after I fixed my hair), Lacey sweetly tells me that my "hair is a beautiful mess today!"

a day late
May your stuffing be tasty
May your turkey plump
May your potatoes and gravy
have no lumps.
May your yams be delicious
And your pies take the prize
And may your Thanksgiving dinner
stay off your thighs!!

essentials
What does a 4 year old consider to be essential items for a trip? Lacey proudly packed her little purple suitcase today with:
bead necklaces
milk and juice bottles for babies
cotton candy suckers
one fruit roll up
cars
an indian hat
storybook
one marble
diary and the key
stuffed animal
doll blankets
and...... a picture of a cat standing on its hind legs, holding itself as it has to pee really, really bad.

peace
When the working mom guilt strikes (almost daily), I read this quote hanging beside my bedroom dresser:
"the quantity of hours spent working or thinking about working, or hours spent with our families, does not predict achievement or life satisfaction. instead, the quality of those hours- how stressful or relaxing they are- is a much more potent factor in producing a satisfying family life and career."

my birthday cake
We shared this little chocolate molten lava cake. It was so rich, so yummy and awesome with the strawberries! A couple bites was all we needed!
black box
The alarm clock is set for 5:30am each day. The obnoxious loud buzz/ring awakes me from a deep sleep. With one swift careful move, I can slide down the bed and reach the clock with an extended arm. I slap the snooze button and slide back onto the bed. 8 more minutes of sleep! It's not really sleep so I'm not even sure why I can't break this habit. I think about the day to come or the day that just past. Sometimes I just try to figure out which day of the week it is. Last weekend I got up, actually got up out of bed, and it was Saturday! Adam went hunting and me and Lacey drifted back to dreamland.
After I hit the snooze my mind starts racing most mornings. Again, why even hit the snooze button if I'm going to fall back to sleep after 6-7 minutes and then it goes off again in 1 minute?? If I continue this pattern 5 times in a row, I can "sleep" an extra 40 minutes! I'm amazed that I can do math at this early hour! So....40 minutes later, I take a quick shower and race out the door. Breakfast on the go and damp hair that will be dry before I reach work. The early morning adrenaline rush is both frustrating and challenging! I make a promise to myself to do better tomorrow. I used to be disciplined once upon a time. And now the daylight comes even later which makes the dark mornings seem even more unnatural. Maybe I should go back to night force!!?? Who shaves their legs at 5:45am anyways?? What's for breakfast? What to wear? Pack the lunch. Take care of puppies. Gotta be quiet so I don't wake the family until school time. Too many obstacles- just go back to bed! Slam the snooze just one more time! Or better yet- completely turn the clock off.
Bad habits are hard to break.

virus
As a family, we share everything....even viruses! Thank goodness Lacey is much better today. I hate to see her so sick and miserable.
My sweet Mom made dinner for us tonite which was so thoughtful and yummy. Pot roast with potatoes, carrots, green beans and rolls. Mom always makes ya feel better.
Down and out for a couple days....back to work and school tomorrow probably.

four
Four years ago today our adoption was finalized! I remember how Lacey woke super early around 6am that special morning. My eight month old daughter was wide awake and all smiles. I placed her on the couch and sang "You are my Sunshine" as we anxiously prepared for court. I dressed her in a beautiful warm ivory pleated skirt and tights with a little matching sweater. Our close friends Mike and Jessi arrived at the house, carrying surprise gifts for us. A Precious Moments figurine still sits in Lacey's bedroom and a handmade wall photo frame hangs in my bedroom by the desk. We followed my parents' car and headed downtown. A little parade on the way to celebrate! We held the little wiggle worm in court and attempted to keep her quiet. I remember how she pounded on the table with her little fists and yawned a few times, completely unaware of the court proceedings. I think she had hiccups too, which made us laugh!
As the lawyers and judge discussed things and questioned us, we paused once in awhile to laugh at the sweet, happy baby. It was a very special day but at the same time it was just a legality, a formal requirement, just another step in the process. We had undescribable peace for about 5 months since we met the birthmother so the court hearing was nothing to be nervous about, as alot of people expected. We glanced through the scrapbook last night that holds the wonderful photos from that day. One of my favorites is a picture of us coming out of the courthouse and down the front steps, all smiles! We all had breakfast together at a little restaurant that morning. A breakfast celebration! Special friends and special family with us for the event. I remember telling my Dad and Mom thanks for coming with us and they said "we wouldn't miss it!" My heart was overflowing with joy!
After breakfast we headed to the mall to pick up a few things for our weekend trip. We retreated to a mountain cabin for a few days, just the three of us! And 2 puppies of course! My memory fails me alot for some reason, but I can remember this special day in great detail.

love it!
Adam's buddy has a tree camera near our home on some hunting land. On Sunday evening we viewed the photos and saw a spike, several doe, a squirrel and a doe that is about to have a fawn. But..... this is the best picture....

faith
My heart broke for a friend today that lost his Dad. I watched his Mom as a heartbroken widow with a face full of anguish and pain. Not too many words can be spoken.
The minister did a wonderful job though, telling about the man that is now with his Savior and Lord. Jim was a Christian man that told others about Jesus and wanted everyone to be saved and on their way to heaven. The gospel message was shared today and it surely had an effect on the family and friends in their time of sorrow. Their hope is in Jesus and that he is perfect now, in heaven.
As we stood at the gravesite, the minister began reciting the Lord's Prayer and the family and friends joined in saying this comforting prayer. I was amazed to hear my little 4 yr old saying some of the words. She must have learned it at Sunday School or day care. Unfortunately, I can't take credit but I feel proud that we must be doing something right. We have an awesome responsibility to teach these little ones about Jesus.
She told me once today that she was really sad that our friends' daddy died. But she also knows about heaven and the promises in the Bible. She is compassionate and I hope she never loses that sweet heart for others.
Have a great week :) It's jam packed and full for us already. We love ya'll.

9-11
Where were you on September 11, 2001?? It's one of those days in history that you can specifically remember. At work this morning we had a moment of silence for the victims, families and survivors of this tragedy. It still seems unreal. How could people do this?
I remember I was off from work that day and I was getting ready to take the puppies to the groomers. I was running late (big shock!) and trying to rush around. I stood still when I heard the 2nd plane crashed into the tower. I remember Matt Lauer on the Today Show saying "this isn't an accident now." Of course, they originally reported it was a plane accident. A good friend called me that morning to check on me, just to make sure I was alright. She sounded so relieved that I wasn't at my work place that morning. I remember being sorta short with her, just in shock at the events and still trying to hurry out the door. I still feel bad about that and I'm sorry. I remember wasting the time away at the mall and standing in awe in Sears. I stared at the 20 tv sets on the wall and just watched in disbelief. I still think about that morning once in awhile when I walk past that area in Sears. I remember being so happy to just get home that afternoon and hug Adam. We were glued to the news for months to come. This was the beginning of our CNN addiction. We've switched to FOX News but we still need the information about what's happening in world.
Adam was at the dentist that morning of 9-11. He vividly recalls a 4 hour root canal. Poor guy. He was in the chair when the tragedy struck. Of course the dentist and his staff were distracted so the procedure lasted forever. They kept pausing to reflect on the event and just watch the television to get the details. Needless to say, he won't ever forget that root canal. If you ever ask him about getting a root canal....this is the story you will hear.
I remember months later just wishing that things would get back to "normal". I don't think things have been the same since. I would like to visit Shanks Park in PA one day. I have a friend that has been there to the memorial site and actually returned a couple times for reflection. Have you read the book called "Let's Roll"? Check it out sometime if you get a chance. Todd Beamer was a great man of faith. He was one of the men on Flight 93 that stormed the cabin and faced the terrorists.

one day down
How many days left?? The first day of school has been filled with mixed emotions- excitement and sadness. She was ready though....just like we knew she would be. It was an easy transition and we are grateful for her loving and caring teachers. She looked so cute this morning and I have plenty of pictures to cherish! Her new pink backpack is as big as her almost! We were greeted at the door by her teacher and she quickly found her little cubby. We stashed her belongings and went to see the other kids. She started playing with her best little friend and smiled as Mom took a few more pictures. We hugged a few times and all was well. She will have a great school year. I did witness one poor Mom that was having a little difficulty and it was upsetting the child as well. My heart broke for them. If only we could shelter them forever. I guess we can to a certain degree but I also know the difference between the word shelter and the word smother!
I ran a few errands and enjoyed my morning. I had some free time like this to myself back in February...it's been too long. I found that Walmart is barren at early morning. I grabbed a newspaper and found that special little doll that is waiting for Lacey in her car seat. She got one surprise already this morning, an Archie comic book. Of course, she can't read but she likes the pictures. I gave her a special little card and I thought she was gonna cry- she just loved it! I ran over to see Adam and his friend on the other end of town. I could hardly wait to show them the morning pictures! I visited the farmer's market (first time I think) and bought some homemade apple butter and some fresh corn on the cob. I stopped to chat for awhile with a good friend at her coffee shop. She owns a great little coffee house downtown and it was so fun to see her again.
Just me and my tunes...pounded the pavement at the park for a nice long 3 mile walk. A great way to clear your head and of course to get exercise. I walked off the hot chocolate and cinnabon breakfast plus some! If only every day was this fun! I came home and gave my car a bath and did some work around here. Playing on this computer and just hanging out. I've got dinner started and ready to pick up my little girl from school.
Yeah, I could get used to this kind of day. Annual leave again tomorrow? Tempting!! I'm anxious to hear about Lacey's fun day and head to the park. I can't wait to see her face when she finds her new special baby doll. We have a big giant bag of peanuts to feed the squirrels and enjoy some time after school. Dinner together tonight with Daddy and maybe play outside awhile.
It's been a great day :)

5,700 so far!
I heard about a little girl yesterday, 10 yr old Danielle. She lives in WV and is terminally ill with cancer. She was asked what she would like to have or to do before she passes away, and her response was to receive 1,000 cards before her life was over. That simple statement just blew my mind! Out of everything she could want or do....she simply wants greeting cards to fill her mailbox! She has received 5,700 so far!!
Her family has only asked that the cards are not "get well" cards. They suggested cards like "thinking of you" or for "someone special". Here's her name and address if you'd like to make her smile:
Danielle Bartlett
260 Country Club Road
Richwood, WV 26261

no more change
I'm a true facebook fan now....I sorta forgot about my blog.
I hear this expression all the time at work... "the only thing constant is change."
That about sums it up huh? In a few days, my little one will be starting school. Sorta makes me sick to just think about it. Where did summer go? Where did my little tiny baby go? I am so proud of her though...she's funny, sweet and becoming more independant as she should, I guess. I am about to start a new job.....new unit, coworkers, boss, yadda yadda.
And, then Adam is returning to work full time and possibly a new job in the near future. It's no wonder I have gray/white hairs popping up everywhere! I used to handle change pretty well...but it seems to be getting tougher on the more important life changes. A year from now, or maybe 6 months from now we will be nice and comfortable again and then BAM....change will come once again! It's bittersweet.
It's the weekend....time for fun! We can worry about change on Monday again! I'll be back to work, Adam has a big test, and we have school open house the same day.
The only change right now I'm thinking about is going inside....away from these darn mosquitos and darkness!

she tricked me!
I started to panick as I seen the school phone number appear on my work telephone. I quickly answered and spoke to the director. My little girl was crying and "wanted her mommy." She has been at this school for over a year and this was the very first phone call to come rescue her. I was told she awoke from her nap with a slight fever and complaining she didn't feel good all over. She is just getting over a virus so I figured maybe she was having a relapse or something. I told the school I would be there in 45 minutes, as soon as I could. I just pictured my sweet little girl standing in the teacher's office, hugging her bear and crying for mommy. My heart broke and I couldn't get there fast enough. The commute took even longer than usual as I felt sad and worried. This was totally unusual for Lacey.
I arrived at the school and looked through the glass door. Lacey was smiling as she saw me coming! She didn't look bad at all. I could tell she had been crying but she was fine. She was with her friends and holding her favorite bear. She was excited to see me and to go home early for the day. As we played that evening....she said she was feeling fine and just wanted her mommy. I explained we can't do this all the time, unless she is sick of course. We played Barbies and all was well. She was safe and happy at home and so was I.

music
Do you remember CD's?? I don't think many people buy CD's anymore since we can just download specific songs that we want. I have a nice long list right now just waiting for Adam to download for me since I'm sorta challenged in that area! While I'm waiting for my new tunes.....I bought a couple new discs this evening. There was like 2 other people in the aisle- that's all!
I got the new Mercy Me "10" CD. It's so cool because it has top songs, bonus songs, a concert DVD and also a Live CD. All for like 12 bucks. I also got a great deal on Francesca Battistelli- My Paper Heart. It's really strange because I really didn't like her at first. But then her style started growing on me and now I just love it! I'm anxious to hear all her songs.
My favorite song, or at least one of my favorites, from Mercy Me is Bring the Rain. Check out the lyrics:
I can count a million times
People asking me how I
Can praise You with all that
I've gone through
The question just amazes me
Can circumstances possibly
Change who I forever am in You
Maybe since my life was changed
Long before these rainy days
It's never really ever crossed my mind
To turn my back on you, oh Lord
My only shelter from the storm
But instead I draw closer through these times
So I pray
Bring me joy, bring me peace
Bring the chance to be free
Bring me anything that brings
You glory And I know there'll
be days When this life brings me pain
But if that's what it takes to
praise You Jesus, bring the rain
I am yours regardless of the clouds that may
loom above because you are much greater than
my pain you who made a way for me suffering
your destiny so tell me whats a little rain
[1st Chorus]
Holy, holy, holy
Holy, holy, holy
is the lord God almighty
is the lord God almighty
I'm forever singing
[2nd Chorus 2x]
everybody singing
Holy holy holy
you are holy
you are holy

the smell
You know how a song or certain sounds can take you right back to a special time or specific place in your mind? What about a smell? Sounds strange huh? but it's true.
After work today I stopped at Pizza Hut to get a delicious, healthy dinner for my family. At least it was delicious. As I opened the door, the smell just about knocked me over! That specific "pizza hut" smell took me back to the year 1992. I was a young 18 yr old girl, shy and very thin. I remember my waitress job like it was yesterday. It was actually hard work, but good exercise! Some customers were really nice and then there were the other group of customers. Some people thought I was just a lowly servant that owed them the world. Don't you hate people like that? It's even worse if you are out in public at dinner with those type of people- being like that to the waiters. If you have been a waiter or waitress, you know to treat them nicely now!
Anyways.... I remember my nice boss and friendly co-workers. I remember being too young to serve alcoholic beverages to my tables. I had to ask the customers to be patient while I found someone over legal age to serve their drinks. How embarassing?!! Especially if it was a group of college kids! I remember leaving work one day and finding a sweet love note and flower on my car windshield from my boyfriend (aka: now hubby)! I just graduated high school and would soon be married!
As weird as it is.....that smell brought back some great memories!
Have you read that book called Waiter Rant by Anthony Bourdain? Check it out sometime.

It's even worse if you are out in public at dinner with those type of people- being like that to the waiters. If you have been a waiter or waitress, you know to treat them nicely now!
Anyways.... I remember my nice boss and friendly co-workers. I remember being too young to serve alcoholic beverages to my tables. I had to ask the customers to be patient while I found someone over legal age to serve their drinks. How embarassing?!! Especially if it was a group of college kids! I remember leaving work one day and finding a sweet love note and flower on my car windshield from my boyfriend (aka: now hubby)! I just graduated high school and would soon be married!
As weird as it is.....that smell brought back some great memories!
Have you read that book called Waiter Rant by Anthony Bourdain? Check it out sometime.

speedboat
Check out this website: www.searocket.com
This was probably the highlight of our vacation...something new and exciting!
The boat cruised out of the bay and we almost immediately saw dolphins playing, it was awesome! We got a few pictures which I will post sometime. The boat raced down the coast, about 40 mph. We went just over the Delaware line and turned around. The captain was alot of fun as well as the young girl that was on board. They entertained us with jokes, information and played some great summertime music.
If you head to Ocean City....you gotta check out this boat ride!

gadget geeks?
I never really thought that I used electronic gadgets alot...but I guess I was wrong. We actually depend on them and use them alot. Is that good or bad? I don't know.
On a family vacation, just in the car, we have:
~~a digital camera- that holds 3606 pictures! (we were hoping it held 200 or so)
~~this laptop I am playing on (and getting motion sick) with mobile broadband
~~a tom tom telling us to "stay on the moto-way", totally unnecessary, but fun anyways
~~an IPOD, so we can load a bunch of new songs, actually 2 IPOD's, or MP3 players...whatever
~~2 verizon cell phones
~~Lacey watching Milo and Otis on the portable DVD player
WHEW! And now I gotta go because the battery is going dead and there is too many cords to mess with!

her prayer
This is the funniest and sweetest thing I heard today. A sweet little 10 yr old girl tells Mr. Adam what she would like to pray for this morning in class.
"her grandma that has cancer"
"and....that my mommy would please buy me a guinea pig!"

close enough
As adults, we mispronounce words all the time. Why correct kids constantly? Especially when it is so cute! My last supervisor used the word "typically" like at least 5 times a day, in meetings, giving direction or just in conversation. But, it always came out as "typTically". I really liked this boss and thought it was funny each time. The "T" right in the middle was very pronounced and usually set off a spray of showers to anyone that was nearby. We quickly learned when to keep our distance! Fellow employees would correct him over and over but he continued with this habit. And probably still does!
Well, Lacey has a few words that are just too cute to correct right now. She talks about the boy next door as our "neighbra" and her friend that comes over to play as our "neighbra". The other cute expression is about her friend named Cierra, which Lacey so sweetly calls "Sarah". Sarah has graciously accepted this new name and smiles at her little friend.
Yesterday evening after work Lacey was telling me about her day at Sarah's house. At some point the girls lovingly put the kitty cat in the bathroom cabinet for unknown reasons. I'm guessing and hoping the adults didn't see it. A little while later they went back to help (torment) the poor cat again and it had vanished. I imagine it had found a good hiding spot from the ornery girls. They searched everywhere but could not find the kitty. Lacey was disappointed and acted sad as she told me the story.
She explained that her and Sarah even went to the neighbra's house to look for the cat.
I just smiled at her sweet innocence and ornery little spirit :)

Father's Day
We spent the afternoon at the pool, just playing and relaxin' on Father's Day. I could stay there all day!
Happy Father's Day to my Dad, my father-inlaw, my brother and my friends!
Pastor spoke today about being a Dad and the responsibility it involves. He said something this morning that I will probably never forget. He was talking about everything we try to teach our kids as they grow. He said... "the only thing we can take to heaven one day...is our kids!" That is the most important thing we can teach them...everything else is just minor in comparison. What an awesome responsibility we have as parents to teach our little ones about Jesus and how he is the only way to heaven!
Lacey is lucky enough to have a Daddy that prays with her and sings Bible songs with her and just adores her. He takes her to church each week and makes sure she knows that Jesus loves her. He is a Godly example to her and she is so blessed to have him as a father.
We Love you Daddy :)

breakfast prescription
Please tell me that someone else heard this story? As I was leaving work this evening, I caught part of a story about Cheerios. I guess there is a big controversy about if the cereal is as healthy for you as it claims to be. On the outside of the box it advertises that it is made from whole grains and helps lower your cholesterol, by cleaning your arteries. It is made to be "heart-healthy". Well, the FDA is reviewing this information and says that if Cheerios is so good for you, as it claims, that you would need a prescription to buy it! The research is on-going.
WHAT??!! Maybe I was just tired...but I'm pretty sure that was the story.

How many days until vacation??
Have you ever watched the show called King of Queens? I love that show! I was just reminded of how Doug says the word vacation....it sorta comes out something like this..........
VA..CAASH.......EE...ONNNNN.....
If you seen the show, you are probably laughing. If not, just trust me, it's too funny :)

summertime
Who doesn't love summer? We went to a cook out at a friends' house today. Lacey was SO excited, and anxious to wear her new little bathing suit. This is her first time going swimming this year and she just loved it. We came home this evening and played outside with family and friends. Bikes, jeeps, frisbee, squirt guns, swings, slide, horseshoes, bouncy balls, on and on and on! We finally have to call it a day when the sun starts going down and the mosquitos start biting. I stopped at the greenhouse again today and got a new pink azalea bush that I'm anxious to plant by the house.
It's been a fun summer Saturday :)

thumbs up
Covenant Transport.... I don't know anything about this trucking company but I like them! Every once in awhile (like today) I see this big tractor trailer on my way to work and it makes me smile. The trailer is from Chattanooga TN and we usually meet on the interstate, like within the same 2-3 mile stretch of road! It's funny that I recognize him, amongst all the other big rigs. But...he has this bumper sticker.... proudly displayed across the back of his trailer doors.... that always catches my attention, and I know it's him again. I hope several other people see it everyday too and just maybe.... he might be making a difference... just because of a simple bumper sticker. It reads:
It's not a Choice-
It's a Child.
It's not a Choice-

4 or 14
On my way to work this morning I was thinking about the grown-up conversations I had to have with my little four year old this weekend. Some things you just can't ignore.
As we approached the stop light at Sheetz, I noticed Carson standing there with his sign, asking for money. I just knew that Lacey would ask about this man, standing next to her car window. We've seen him many times before but Lacey was never stopped this close, right next to him. As we pulled away, I had to explain why he was asking people for money and why we chose not to give him any. I told her that he's not really homeless, he just has some problems. I explained that we could pray for him but we weren't giving money to him for beer. I think she was satisfied....at least until we see him again probably.
Divorce is striking close to home once again and our hearts are broken for the family. We explained this situation to our little girl and how things would be different probably. Sadly, she is becoming all too familiar with the word divorce. She asked when me and Daddy would be getting divorced, like everyone else? We explained that we will never divorce and we'll always be together as a family. She has used this word alot this weekend and hopefully the fascination wears off soon. She sympathized with our friends and I thought she was going to cry actually. She has a little heart of gold.
And....on a lighter note......I spent 10 minutes this morning (already running late).....to explain why she is a big girl and must wear more than her pretty little Dora panties to preschool today :)

little moments
She was extremely happy as she jumped off the scale and proudly announced that she weighs 46 pounds now!! She giggled and danced around as she shouted her weight to anyone that was listening. As the digital numbers appeared, she became so proud of herself. She was filled with excitement as she danced and asked that we clap for her! She repeatedly kept weighing herself and announcing her magic numbers! She ran through the house and did it over and over again.
It won't last long, right girls?

date night
Have you seen the new Fast and Furious movie?? It was great! It's as good as the first one, in my opinion. The second and third movies were okay but this was much better! And....who doesn't love Paul Walker anyways? The first five minutes were action packed and so much fun to watch. Letty died in this movie but they may miraculously bring her back in the next, and final movie number 5. I heard it will be set in Brazil probably. The ending was left wide open and just begging for another sequel.
We had dinner together at a little restaurant-pub type place. Good sandwiches, good conversation and a good lookin' man at the table with me! Dinner and a movie...love it :)

lessons learned
try and try again? why bother. sometimes you just have to say "forget it".
why set yourself up to be hurt again?
why feel the heart break again?
sometimes things just don't work out and that's okay. I've had trusted people tell me that it's alright.
as long as I have peace and my heart is right with God, that's all that matters.
On a different note: Did I tell you that Adam got a job offer?? YIPPPEEEE :)
It can take several months or maybe a year or so to do the background investigation, but we're excited about the upcoming changes. We're not sure how everything will work out.....my job.....lacey in school.....schedules..... But we know that God is in control and will guide us along the way. He always has!

The Motion
The Lyrics to one of the most popular songs in Christian Music for 2009, which hit number one this week:
This might hurt, it’s not safe
But I know that I’ve gotta make a change
I don’t care if I break, At least I’ll be feeling something
‘Cause just okay is not enough
Help me fight through the nothingness of life
I don’t wanna go through the motions
I don’t wanna go one more day
without Your all consuming passion inside of me
I don’t wanna spend my whole life asking,“What if I had given everything, instead of going through the motions?”
No regrets, not this time
I’m gonna let my heart defeat my mind
Let Your love make me whole
I think I’m finally feeling something
‘Cause just okay is not enoughHelp me fight through the nothingness of this life
‘Cause I don’t wanna go through the motions
I don’t wanna go one more day
without Your all consuming passion inside of me
I don’t wanna spend my whole life asking,“What if I had given everything, instead of going through the motions?”
take me all the way (take me all the way)
take me all the way (’cause I don’t wanna go through the motions)
take me all the way (I know I’m finally feeling something real)
take me all the way
I don’t wanna go through the motions
I don’t wanna go one more day
without Your all consuming passion inside of me
I don’t wanna spend my whole life asking,“What if I had given everything, instead of going through the motions?”
I don’t wanna go through the motions
I don’t wanna go one more day without Your all consuming passion inside of me
I don’t wanna spend my whole life asking,“What if I had given everything,instead of going through the motions?”
take me all the way (take me all the way)
take me all the way (I don’t wanna go, I don’t wanna go)
take me all the way (through the motions) take me all the way
I don’t wanna go through the motions
"This song really ministers to me as I reflect on my own life in Christ. I don’t want to just go through the motions of playing church. I want a real relationship with our heavenly father. I want to know that I gave everything, endured this race and fulfilled my purpose. I want my relationship to not be warm or cold but passionate for Christ!" by Matthew West

hot dogs and Dr. Becker
It was almost 6am, the sun was coming up and I was enjoying my shredded wheats, just relaxin on the couch. I decided to skip Fox and Friends this morning and catch up on some local news. There was a few major headlines involving a fatal car crash and a possible homicide. And then..... I listened carefully and couldn't believe my ears. This local man decided it would be fun to break into a house in the middle of the night. Doesn't a thief normally steal like electronics, jewelry or money? This wacko broke into the house and waltzed into the kitchen. He pulled out some raw hot dogs and found a chair at the kitchen table. He enjoyed the raw meat until the home owner awoke and found him in the kitchen...just hangin' out and eating the hot dogs. When the police arrived, the home owner had the burglar down on the kitchen floor with a gun to his head!!
So, he's now charged with Felony Burglary and bail was set at $5000.00
What a moron!! I hope the hot dogs were super good!
After the dumb criminal story I decided to channel surf and found Becker!! Have you seen that show? Who knew it came on at 6am?! Forget the news....I can catch up on that on the way to work and at my desk. Now, I can laugh at Becker as I enjoy my breakfast and start the day!

Sweet Suite!
THE CLAY CENTER
WE LOVE CHUCK-E-CHEESE
YIPPPPEEEE!
BEAUTIFUL HOTEL
There is a town a couple hours from home that we love to visit, maybe 1 or 2 times a year, usually in the spring and around Christmas. Embassy Suites is a treat in itself! If you never stayed there, you should try it sometime. The room is so nice...actually its 2 separate rooms, king size bed, refrig and microwave, table, etc. Each evening is a free managers reception with nice appetizers and drinks. The interior of the hotel is atrium stlye- open in the middle. They have a wonderful made to order breakfast each morning, that is complimentary with your room. The nice cook will make any kind of omelet you want, pancakes, waffles, meats.....
The hotel is always host to some kind of event and this particular weekend was no exception. The day we arrived we were surrounded by Vietnam Veterans and their family, attending some kind of weekend conference. And then the next night, the hotel played host to a charity event called Dancing with the Stars. We didn't have tickets of course, so we could only see a little of the "stars".
We always hit the big mall and do a little shopping. We saw the wrestler Ric Flair at the mall signing autographs and we got some photos. He's lookin' pretty rough now. Me and Lacey enjoyed our first visit to Chuck E Cheese and we had a ball :) We played with the robot on stage and then she was surprised to see the "real" mouse come walking over to us! We were there for like 4 hours and had a good time. We also checked out the Clay Center on this trip. We experienced all of the science galleries and other exhibits. Really lots to do for kids!

the holiday
Please tell me that Easter came out of the blue this year- a complete surprise on the calendar right? Surely it hasn't been on the calendar for months, or at least a few weeks to prepare? Approximately 2 days ago, like on Good Friday, the mad rush began. I went shopping after work to get things for our kids at church and to find a pretty new dress for me that would be just perfect! Funny huh? It wasn't so funny as I shopped for about 4 hours and came home exhausted and sick. I could have been home with my family. Yesterday I got the crafts ready for Sunday school and set things up at church. Lacey helped hide the Easter eggs and we were good to go! About 7pm last night I realized her new little dress was still in her hamper, tags and all, waiting to be washed. I found some clothes in my closet that were sorta spring-like and made her Easter basket after she fell asleep. I got the eggs ready for her and Justin to have an egg hunt and decided to call it a night. Sometime last evening I tried to figure out where all the family was meeting for dinner, the time, etc. We still got that all messed up but it was fine.
I used to think I was a real organized person and sorta proud as I marked off my little check lists and carefully planned for events or holidays, at least a few weeks ahead of time. I don't know what happened to this skill but it went out the window recently, at least for this holiday, or maybe the past 2 or 3. Birthdays, anniversaries, etc..... may be remembered, maybe not. So disappointed in myself! Sometimes, I just throw my hands in the air and say "I give up- I can't remember everything!"
I did help Adam to fix his tie, with a few hours to spare this morning. And.. I managed to paint my toe nails about 30 minutes before leaving the house. Organized Chaos... that sounds good. Maybe I'll just blame it on my sinus infection and ear infection.
However, we did have a nice holiday- planned or unplanned! And my little 4 year old understands the true meaning of Easter. That is really all that matters.

spoiled milk
If you have kids, especially little ones, you may find this funny...
Early this morning, I quietly made a bowl of oatmeal in the dim kitchen light. I opened the microwave door and guess what I found? It took me by surprise to find a heavy, half gallon carton of milk laying inside. I giggled and remembered how Lacey was "cooking" her milk the night before. Obviously, she forgot to put the milk back in the fridge. It was the "good" milk as Lacey and Daddy says. Some kind of milk in a carton with a cow on the front...I don't know. So I poured it all down the sink and giggled a little more as I thought about my silly little girl.
A few hours later I was at work and talking to Adam on the phone. As we were talking he was making breakfast and opened the microwave. (I hadn't told him about my finding this morning) And guess what he found? Yet another heavy, half gallon carton of the good milk laying inside- again! He yelled at her and put the cold milk back in the fridge. I thought it was funny- again. You just never know where you may find things in your house. Lacey loves to take things, hide them, and they are never seen again. And as much as I'd like some bills disappear...we are trying to teach her that it's not funny to hide stuff from us.
If that didn't make you laugh...maybe this will. Today a complete stranger called me, and I quote, "AN ARROGANT LITTLE TYRANT!" As this 50 year old childish man yelled at me, I wasn't quite sure how insulted I should be. I really wanted to tell him that my arrogant job paid quite nicely and I appreciated his support! But since I need a steady paycheck, I just listened to him spout off and repeatedly call me this name and hang up. I immediately grabbed my dictionary and looked up the word tyrant. I guess I'm viewed as some kind of ruler in this great nation. I love the power! What an idiot!

Lacey loves to take things, hide them, and they are never seen again. And as much as I'd like some bills disappear...we are trying to teach her that it's not funny to hide stuff from us.
If that didn't make you laugh...maybe this will. Today a complete stranger called me, and I quote, "AN ARROGANT LITTLE TYRANT!" As this 50 year old childish man yelled at me, I wasn't quite sure how insulted I should be. I really wanted to tell him that my arrogant job paid quite nicely and I appreciated his support! But since I need a steady paycheck, I just listened to him spout off and repeatedly call me this name and hang up. I immediately grabbed my dictionary and looked up the word tyrant. I guess I'm viewed as some kind of ruler in this great nation. I love the power! What an idiot!

mom's day out
Bright and early one morning I jumped out of bed, excited, and ready for the day. I quickly showered and found a windsuit that would keep me warm on the cold morning. I woke up my sleepy little girl and kissed Adam goodbye for the day. He headed to work and we headed to school. I dropped Lacey off at school and began my selfish, fun, Mom's day out!! Who needed the holiday pay? I just wanted some time alone to relax and do a few of my favorite things. These moments are far and few between but I wouldn't trade my life for anything. I headed downtown and set out for my brisk morning walk. I cleared my head and just really enjoyed my quiet walk. I made it about 1.5 miles but then my nose began to freeze and my heart was pumping so I decided to head indoors to a nice warm spot. I wish I could walk that same route every morning.
I headed downtown and browsed the book store, a nice little gift shop and a few other stores that were"new" to me. I wandered into the cafe for a light breakfast. I enjoyed a nice meal, warm hot chocolate, a newspaper and text with my best friend. No rush...I had all day. I stopped by the Walmart to develop some photos and headed home. My scrapbooks were waiting! I anxiously spread out all my materials on the living room floor and popped in the movie "Nights in Rodanthe". My house was quiet as I worked on summer vacation photos and recalled all the great memories! The movie was great but not quite as good as the book. I had a fun afternoon and anxiously greeted my family a few hours later.
I had anticipated this day for a few weeks and I cherished every minute of my day! Yeah, I had a great day while everyone was enduring their typical work day. It may be a year from now...but I know this will be a treat for me again sometime. No computers.....no phone calls.....just freedom to do anything and everything (well, sorta!) in about 8 hours. I kept wondering what it would be like to have this much freedom every day of the week? I could get used to that!! ha ha
And then the next morning....bright and early....back to work.....and back to reality.
It was fun while it lasted!

still here
It's been a long month but I'm back again! Our laptop quit working completly awhile back so it was time for a new one. Did you know that the new computers are not set up for us country folk that still has dial up? So, it took forever but we have changed and now have verizon wireless broadband. Better than dial-up, but not quite high speed yet. And...Mom was in the hospital again for several days. Another scare but she's doing good now. We're so glad she is home!
I'm really in the spring cleaning mood! We've decided to move some things around the house and make some changes. I sorted through alot of stuff today and threw away a bunch of junk. I'm ready to wash all the curtains and get out the spring comforter for our bed. It's time to put away all those heavy sweaters and make room for the shorts, tanks and sandals! The flowers are blooming all over (at least in the neighbors yard!) not mine. I'll be getting lots of exercise soon mowing the grass and working outside. Adam and Lacey has planted seeds for the garden and the tiller is ready to go! A pretty Easter flag is hung by the porch and the barbecue grill is calling our name! Actually, we sorta grill all year round but we look forward to having lots of cookouts this summer. The closets need cleaned out and the windows need washed. Maybe new vinyl in the kitchen? It's officially Spring!!

July 6, 2008
One Sunday afternoon we visited the small town of Berlin MD. This is the town of "Hale" Maryland in the movie Runaway Bride with Julia Roberts and Richard Gere. It was hard to imagine Hollywood invading this small town to film the movie, it was really small. Like, we ran into main street and began seeing all the movie locations and sets. The tour guide map really wasn't necessary. The town was preparing to celebrate the 10 year anniversary of this movie. We heard from a waitress that the main actor and actress were invited to attend but they each required a small fee of $50,000 to make an appearance! We stopped by the hardware store where Maggie worked in the movie. It had recently closed in the past few years. We visited the Atlantic Hotel where Richard Gere stayed and filmed alot upstairs. The young girl offered to show us around and we quickly followed her. Remember in the entry way of the hotel....the long pretty staircase? The inside of the hotel looks just the same. The hotel was beautifully decorated in Victorian style, complete with claw foot bath tubs and lots of lace and floral prints. Each room had a special name and we got a peek at the "runaway bride" room. One room looked especially nice to me and we have considered staying there in the future maybe.
After church we had "brunch" at the hotel restaurant. We relaxed outdoors on the front porch and enjoyed delicious steak and eggs and Lacey ate her pasta. It was all good until the bill arrived and we realized our little "brunch" was $80! We made a mental note that if stayed there in the future we will check out the diner across the street! It was so cool to see all the places from the movie. We walked down to The Hair Shop but they were closed since it was a Sunday afternoon. I was disappointed because I really wanted to get a hair cut there. Remember in the movie where the big city reporter (Gere) came walking into the salon looking for Maggie Carpenter? She was actually in the floor fixing a chair. I peeked into the window and it looked just like in the movie. I think one of my favorite spots was down by the railroad tracks. The big blue and white 2 story house with the steps out front....the one where Maggie came running out to get the newspaper to see if she got the reporter fired....remember? There was actually several scenes from this house. We turned around by the railroad tracks and snapped a few pictures. A neighbor lady yelled at us, obviously tired of the visitors from the past 10 years!
And.....Victorian Charm! I checked this store out on the web before we got there so I knew it was still open. It was the great scene where Julia is trying on the wedding dress in front of the mirror and Richard Gere is just stunned. I think that's my favorite part of the movie, just so sweet. This store was the best! It's a beautiful gift shop with lots of unique items and lots of Vera Bradley purses and wallets. Adam patiently waited while I shopped and shopped! I got a beautiful purse and matching wallet and some birthday gifts for family. I'm hoping to visit this store again this summer :) There is also a small bakery, antique shops and other small stores in historic Berlin MD. If you are on the east coast near Ocean City, it's only 6 miles from town.

growing up
Here's a few things my little 4 year old has said this past week that just shocked me;
As she picks up an issue of People magazine on my desk she flips through it and suddenly stops at a photo of our new president. She then tells me, "mommy... there's brack bama!" So I asked her how she knew his name and she quickly informed me "from the news!"
As we left for day care the other day she reminded me "after school today I gotta do my homework Mom!"
She was being ornery one afternoon and I told her she better stop before she got into big trouble and she looked me square in the eye and said; "am I just grounded now or what?"
The other night she was looking at a catalog with me and told me that I should "go online to dot com and look it up!"
When did my four year old become a fourteen year old?
I think I may need some tissues on the way to Pre-K enrollment in the morning!

popcorn
This past weekend was movie weekend! I love to go see a good movie.
~~gran torino (clint eastwood)-Rated R due to the language for sure, great movie plot!
~~hotel for dogs- the kids really liked it and I thought it was pretty cute too. I was hoping to see a little bichon but no luck. Lacey loved the close up of the dogs and their noses :) It had a few sad parts in it that almost brought tears to us female dog lovers.
~~paul blart- mall cop- one of my favorite actors, Kevin James. He played his funny old self and made us all laugh. it was a short movie and a little disappointing but it was still good to watch.
I'm still waiting for Nights in Rodanthe to come on pay per view, can't wait to see it since I just recently read the book.

a whopper
I heard the funniest story the other day on my way to work. Burger King is offering you a free whopper if you will delete 10 of your friends from myspace. WHAT?? You have to go into your site and remove 10 friends and then the fast food restaurant will send you a coupon for a free sandwich. Of course your friends will see the notice that you have removed them. Is it worth a hamburger? You can always go back in and add them back to your space but then they will know that you are really that cheap!
Adam has alot of sweet nieces on his site as a way of keepin' in touch and keepin' up to date with their lives. I don't imagine he will trade his nieces for a rotten piece of meat! Now, if it was a Big Mac......he may consider! just jokin' girls!

picture this....
We found out last week that Rug Doctor really sucks. Well, not literally or else we wouldn't have a million gallons of water and solution soaking our carpet and pad. So, we returned the defective machine and tried another, which was just as bad and didn't work properly. This morning, the professionals arrived to clean the carpet....yeah- an email complaint is coming your way rug doctor! Now the berber is bright, clean, pretty and most important- Dry!
I was worried how the puppies would act with the strangers in the house and the loud machines so we set up their crates in Lacey's bedroom. I called home this afternoon to see how the carpet looked and if the puppies behaved or not.
Adam's response: "carpets look really good and the dogs were fine. Lacey took care of them in her bedroom. She read them a book!"

the party planner
I have 2 parties coming up soon in February that I need to plan and get organized. I just realized the other day how soon February will be here! Lucky for me though I love to plan parties. I love all the little details and shopping for just the right items. I enjoy finding the tablecloths and napkins to match the plates and all that good stuff. Some people really resist this type of planning but I thrive on it! I make my little lists and start surfin' the web for just the right thing. And in a matter of a few days......Voila....the nice man in the brown uniform brings a box of goodies! Of course, Lacey's birthday party is always bittersweet. My sweet little baby will soon be 4 yrs old! Her first birthday was Strawberry Shortcake, second birthday was Elmo, third birthday was all about Mickey Mouse and now..... it's all about Barbie and her friends! So, I may shed a few tears as I shop but I realize how blessed I am that she is growing and is so happy and healthy. It still amazes me sometimes that we were given this precious little girl to raise.
So, enjoy party planning, there's always a reason to celebrate!!

Please....Say it isn't so...... my favorite store has filed bankruptcy and is closing its doors! Yep, Goody's is going out of business. Where will I shop? Goody's has been so good to me :) Adam will be thrilled to read this but I am disappointed. I thought I was giving them alot of business and helping their economic situation. Maybe I need to do more?
Gotta go....the sales have started......

good tv
Yesterday I told you about some bad tv so today I have a great show to tell you about! Have you seen CMT Cribs? The show takes you inside the homes of celebrities and shows you everything.... their fridge, their bedroom, nurseries, music room, backyards, garages, just everything! It's an inside peek of their personal life. It's really fun to see their huge homes and all their luxuries- that they probably take for granted. I seen the homes of Ted Nugent, Brett Michaels, Jewel, Chyna, Hulk Hogan, Lee Ann Rimes, Pamela Anderson and several others. I've seen the show once or twice but last night I lucked onto a whole marathon or something! The house was quiet and I had full control of the remote. It's really rare that I can be so lazy and selfish and enjoy some tv without interruptions. I was a complete couch potato for a few hours until I finally made myself go to bed so I wouldn't be a zombie today with Lacey. I thought it was funny to see the beautiful outdoor swimming pool at Jewel's house and she mentioned that she don't keep it heated so she rarely uses it. WHAT?? She has like a bazillion dollars and she won't heat the wonderful pool in the back yard? And...the one home was like 17,000 square feet! They had rooms in their home that I've never even heard of before! Pamela Anderson has a beach house and when she bought it there wasn't a bathtub for her or the boys. So, she installed this beautiful place outdoors complete with a bathtub and lights, flowers.. yadda yadda yadda. A relaxing bath next to the ocean!
Anyways, check it out sometime.....CMT Cribs!

the price is wrong
Have you seen Price is Right lately? I know, I'm way behind on this subject....but, I'm not at home in the mornings at 11am so this is new to me. Drew Carey really should go back to comedy and save the game shows for someone else. The show seemed really rushed and not entertaining at all. Bob Barker was much better and I'm sure he is missed by everyone. The show just isn't quite the same now. I've always been a fan of Drew Carey's tv shows but I'd rather watch Mickey Mouse with Lacey instead of Price is Right.
And there is your useless information for the day....
