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!
