DISQUS

Thank you for that last post. Noting the fact that he is still winning, however, I feel like her "everything but the kitchen sink" method has knocked us in the head.


Question for everyone....should he fight back hard? Throw the plasma tv at her? Or should he try to continue to follow his "no politics as usual" method. This woman is fighting hard and is playing dirty by any means necessary. The very reason why I didn't get involved in politics.

Hope you're in the midst of a refreshing break! :)

So fun! I'm going to go over and read. I'm so glad you're doing this!

My two are in 8th and 6th this year, too! Fun!!

They attend a very exclusive middle school. It's so exclusive, that unless the teacher gave birth to you you cannot attend.

Exclusive.

YES, blogging is a support group, girl, no matter where our kids go to school. We need it!!

Can't wait to read about their (and your) adventures this year...

What a purrrfect caption! Too cute!

Wow! I hope you got some fun, new reading glasses to go with that new hat. Fun!!

Happy Blog-day!! I just realized I never celebrated mine... hmph. Thanks for blessing me in the blogosphere, sista. :)

Beautiful pictures! Have fun!

You go girl! I'm good at reeling it in, but not baiting the hook or taking it off the hook... That's a great picture! Have a fabulous time!!

First of all, YEY!!! for your sons! Way to go! And, I would be the crazy woman, too. I used to be, at basketball games. Alas, I got the "M-o-o-o-m" look and the accompanying eyeroll from across the court a few times.

Yes, I have hit "publish" before, too. Good tip, Susanne! :)

Great list!! Congratulations Auntie Laurel, and go Wildcats! We watched the game, but I didn't know I should be rooting for them for you. Woo hoo!

I'm SO glad you are getting away with your sweet hubby. I'll be praying for a blessed, set-apart, wonderful time for you two. {{hug}}

Oh, I think he looks great! I love the picture you took with him, too. I'm still praying for him. What an exciting, exciting time!!

This was so fun to read! I was just reading this morning how you are supposed to "relocate" your pets while your house is on the market.

My little Zacchaeus-the-weenie-dog just looked at me like, "Uh, I don't THINK so!" So, soon I'll be the woman with the dog(s) on a leash at the park I suppose...

These were great!

Oh, the minute that song started my spirit felt lighter because that is one of my FAVORITES!! Thank you so much. And, the TCM blog- I had no idea he had one! I am a huge fan (my son is too). I can't wait to leave a comment. Fun!! Love ya.

Welcome back! It sounds like the trip was just what you needed (isn't God GOOD??) and now you can bring fresh, renewed energy to the tasks at hand. I loved the picture of you and Iris! What fun!

Oh, I just know you love your new smile!! Fun!

I loved this list, and boy am I camping out on #5 this week. Amen!

Have a wonderful trip. :)

Wow, I just rode that roller coaster right along with you, girl! What a day, indeed. Your sons all sound like such fine young men. You should be proud. And *good for your son* for standing up for another child, even though it cost him.

And, oooh, you and Iris and just going to have the *best* time!! Ya'll write down everything and share it with the rest of us!

"So head out with the Great Commission in mind." Amen, and amen. The light shines so much brighter amid the darkness of events like this. Praise His name for the blessed hope He offers through His Son. What a wonderful, timely quote.

I love how you made it personal. We must put ourselves in the story and realize our part in it, to be sure. I stand in awe that He took what I deserve.

Have a blessed day and week. :)

SO sweet! I loved reading this!

Happy birthday, Laurel's mom!!

Girl. I feel your pain! Actually, I'm looking forward to getting past all the icky work and moving into the crumb-catching phase. This is our second house to sell, and at least this time I don't any preschoolers.

It's SO hard for me to fake like we live like civilized people...

Sounds like you've got some God-given Psalm 37:4 desires! No wonder He has answered them. :) I loved this post today... from the heart as always and, once again I totally relate, sista.

LOVE this quote. This is on my mind at the moment. You'll find out why on Tuesday, I guess. ;)

Great critique! I agree with it 100%.

And thanks for the snakeless atmosphere. That wouldn't be very spa-like. :)

Your reason for participating this week was the same one I had, sister. I needed to read this today. :)
