Ok, so I am approaching 3 months since my last post. So I'm going to try to change things up a little, maybe that will help. I am sure no one even looks here anymore, not even Julie and Allison. I really have no good excuse for not posting, I guess it just hasn't been very high on the priority list. Also seems like nothing exciting happens, we're just busy all the time. It's baseball season now, and with 4 kids, 4 teams, 4 different directions; I feel more like a taxi cab than a mom. Just to let you know about yesterday....
Avery had to be at Perry High School at 6:00am to cook Boston Butts that his team had sold, I dropped him off and came back home and laid down until around 7:45. Then Tanner had a game at 12:00, but he had to be there at 10:45. Anna Kathryn had a birthday party to go to from 11:00 to 1:00 at the skating rink that is way across town from everything. So I had it all planned out; I was going to drop Tanner off at the ball field (Roman was already there), stop by Walgreens and get a card for the party and put money in it, then take AK to the party, and get back to Tanner's game by the time it started. Except just to throw everything off, Avery calls around 9:45 (I wanted to leave the house at 10:15) and says that he is ready to go, and wants me to come get him. So being the great taxi driver that I am, I went and got Avery, took him home, then took Tanner the field, took AK to the party (we used a card from the house), came back home and got Avery, then went to Tanner's game. Anna Kathryn did get a ride back to the field after the party. After the game I went to the grocery store and then we colored eggs.
So that's how most of my days are. I have come to love rainy days! When it rains the games or practices or whatever get cancelled. So then maybe I could get the pile of laundry folded instead of having to dig through it for something to wear or for socks! I HATE socks!!! But that's life and we love it! We don't know anything different.
So today is Easter! We've had a great day! We weren't late for church (we have a record going, like 6 weeks in a row on time). Then Mom and Dad came for lunch, we had Boston Butt, Emily's Crock Pot mac and cheese, potato salad, and beans. After that we went to the Pool's house (that's Avery's girlfriend) for an Easter egg hunt. It's sounds busy, but it has really been nice. I've been trying to keep my mind focused on the significance of this day! What an awesome God we serve, and how unworthy I am of his mercy. I really deserved every bit of the punishment that He took for me on that cross, yet He did it so willingly, for ME! In the midst of my every day chaos, which seems so hectic and crazy, I'm learning to look to that cross, not just today but every day. It is because of that cross that I have hope. It is because of that cross that I have the promise of life everlasting. Thank you Jesus!!!!
Anyway, life is hard, but God is good!!! I'll try to post more often!
