Really, you know the song . . . "what a lady, what a night . . ." Well - actually (and basically as Emily would say) What a Day! I'm emotionally worn out and don't even have much reason to be!
Ellen's basketball season is coming to an end this Saturday. And, while that will free up 2 evenings a week for me; I will also miss it very much:( I love this sport and I wish I could go back and relive so much of it again.
The girls are doing very well and I really just want them to learn some life lessons along the way - after all, it's not really about basketball; it's about learning to get along with others - about working together - really, it's all about love & respect. I so want Ellen's class to be Awesome! Not in basketball, in life. I want to save some heartache of growing up if possible . . . i've been there and it is not much fun at times. Anyway (I want this for all my girls).
Erin helps us out alot and is a little go getter! She is good at handling the ball and the other evening after practice Ellen was telling her she needed to go easy on one of the girls and Erin just replies 'that's how i get better' in her sweet little no 'r' pronounciation! I love it! Like i tell the girls - we don't say 'sorry' in basketball and we don't apologize. we respect others and play hard!
Emily was telling Ryan last night that she thinks it was good that Ryan & I dated and are her mom & dad (or something to that effect - so very sweet!).
The girls are growing up so fast. Dear God - please give us wisdom in raising them!!! Oh, Lord, we humble ourselves before you and praise Your Holy Name! Give us guidance; direct our paths; show us the way to walk Lord. We love You so much. Help us to leave Ur of the Chaldeans and Go to where You direct(be it WEd. night, be it church, be it work, be it relationships, be it whatever). Help us to be steadfast and obedient and not to turn back. Grow our faith Lord and Bless us. Amen!

First Week of 2010
Have i written before how much i just love Beth Moore? Honestly--she is one of the most 'real' people i can think of - yet still a celebrity in her own right! We share the same birthday and i do not think that is at all coincidental! God knew exactly what He was doing - praise Him!!!
My girlies are in bed; Ryan's watching some college football game and i'm heading to bed soon as well. I was so sick on the 3rd of January--it was AWFUL! Honestly, i was peeing out of the wrong end and i puked--like dry-heaved puked--it was so gross. After hitting the bathroom 15 times due to stomach gurgling - i gave up couting and hoped i could sleep a little in between. Oh . . . did i say it was just awful? But, yes, i would rather have it than my girls or Ryan. Please God, let it pass by us - over & around us all!
Church was supposed to start tonight (it's wed jan 6) but we decided not to head out due to the below freezing temperatures and wind. It is so stinking cold here. Thank you God for a roof over our heads and warm inside - oh thank You, thank You!
Work is getting hugely busy as our 'tax season' has begun. This means working Saturdays for me. The 2 positive things are that 1) time flies during the day because i have a ton to do and 2) the paycheck will be nice.
Emily started pre-k today. We didn't have her go the 1st part of the year because i ddn't work on those days. Now, I will work on WEdnesdays, so she'll go on those 2 afternoons.
Um . . . figuring out Miss Ellen's birthday celebration. She has 3 more games scheduled. So, about 4 more weeks of practice. I love watching her play - she's really quick. Erin is so good also! She holds her own and does a great job!!! I hope they continure and are able to play together - how fun!
Okay - I pray i can get out of bed tomorrow and get off my heiny - as it's not getting any smaller just laying & sitting on it. So . . . off to bed i go.
Much love. Thank You God for the blessings You give us! Be with Elsie Schrag's family! Annie Toews. Jim Graber. Julie Swanson. Be with them Lord! Let them feel Isaiah 41:13--let them feel You holding their right hands! Praise You!!!
