Extraordinary Faith for Everyday Life

Hi. It’s Thursday.

Hi.

I’ve realized just about all I’ve blogged about this week was TV.  And I guess because that’s what I’ve done a lot of .  In fact, that’s what I’m doing right now.  Sitting in the recliner watching Grey’s Anatomy.

Besides the day off spent cleaning Monday and the big snow day Tuesday, this week has been pretty status quo.  Which actually means just yesterday and today has been status quo.  Yesterday I worked, ran to Target with Scott and ate at Five Guys and then went to church.  And then watched TV.  Today I went into work and ate WAY too much food.  Egg and cheese biscuit, tilapia, fettucine, canoli, baby shower food including cake.  Ugh.  I get almost sick thinking of all of it.  This evening we ate at home, made a run to Starbucks and Wal-Mart and like I mentioned, watching TV again.

In other random news:

  • We’ve signed up to host a small group with our youth group on Tuesdays.
  • Melissa and I have started blogging about random things together.  My “first kiss story” is coming tomorrow.  I’m excited to read Melissa’s post.  I wrote mine earlier and it’s just…so typically MY first kiss.
  • I found out a friend that works at Disney can get the girls a private meet and greet with 3 princesses when we go in March.  I haven’t told the girls and they’ll be super excited.
  • I’m REALLY nervous about doing our taxes this year.  Usually I’m super excited but with the blogging income from last year, I just…am nervous.

So, for those (MOM) that like to know what’s going on with me, that’s it 🙂

Rascall Flatts Single “Here Comes Goodbye” Co-Written by Chris Sligh

by 2 Comments

I have no idea why I’m so excited about this song.  I think maybe because it’s a few of my favorites converging…Rascal Flatts, American Idol, Chris Sligh, a good country song. Can’t wait to see a video on this.

I can hear the truck tires coming up the gravel road
And it’s not like her to drive that slow, nothings on the radio
Footsteps on the front porch, I hear my doorbell
She usually comes right in, now I can tell

Here comes goodbye, here comes the last time
Here comes the start of every sleepless night
The first of every tear I’m gonna cry
Here comes the pain, Here comes me wishing things would never change
And she was right here in my arms tonight, but here comes goodbye

I can hear her say I love you like it was yesterday
And I can see it written on her face that she had never felt this way
One day I thought I’d see her with her daddy by her side
And violins would play here comes the bride

Here comes goodbye, here comes the last time
Here comes the start of every sleepless night
The first of every tear I’m gonna cry
Here comes the pain, Here comes me wishing things would never change
And she was right here in my arms tonight, but here comes goodbye

Why does it have to go from to good to gone?
Before the lights turn on, yeah and you’re left alone
All alone, but here comes goodbye

Oh-oh-oh-oh

Here comes goodbye, here comes the last time
Here comes the start of every sleepless night
The first of every tear I’m gonna cry
Here comes the pain, Here comes me wishing things would never change
And she was right here in my arms tonight, but here comes goodbye

American Idol – SF Night 1

by 2 Comments

Last night’s episode was a bit boring.  No one that was horrendous to entertain and no one that blew me away to root for.

Puerto Rico girl and Jesus were questionable on whether they should have made it through.

Adam Lambert, the Wicked guy I think could be really good.  Cute and good voice.  Very dramatic but I think he could switch that up.

Kai of course was my favorite for the night.  Very cute, insanely sweet, great backstory and good voice.  I agree he needs to work on his stage presence.  That will kill him past Hollywood.

The Snow of 2009

by 3 Comments

I’m very sure this will be The Snow for us for 2009. The kids are beyond excited. I think they were more excited about it this morning than they were for Christmas. Unfortunately it wasn’t heavy enough to make snowballs or a snowman. They were able to throw it around a bit and make a few snow angels. It was enough to satisfy them. They were wanting in for hot chocolate within 20 minutes. I’m sure when Scott wakes up from working last night he’ll have them back out there for a bit. Until then, I’m having a regular work day and the girls are enjoying their day off watching cartoons and playing inside.

The Bachelor

by 6 Comments

The girls on the show STRESSED ME OUT tonight.  Seriously.  I just wanted the show to END.  After tonight, here are my top 3.

Molly – She has pulled out of nowhere and I REALLY like her.  Very down-to-earth, fun, nice, take home to meet the parents type.

Melissa – She is still so much fun and I really like her.

Jillian – She is a lot of fun.  I’m not sure if she’s mother material but she seems like a lot of fun to date.

Not Me! Monday

by 8 Comments

This is a first for me to participate in Not Me! Mondays.  And I’m going to be as honest as possible here about what I DIDN’T do.  Heather, you might have to close your eyes 😉

  • I certainly did not NOT shower on Saturday.
  • I did NOT drink coffee for breakfast and then have a banana split for dinner.
  • I was NOT late for church on Sunday because we went to the gas station to get everyone breakfast.
  • We did NOT get cookies and a cheese danish for breakfast.
  • I was NOT excited when my kids asked me to spend the night with their cousin last night.
  • I did NOT go and see Twilight for the 4th time last night.
  • I did NOT eat a lousy pizza at the theater for dinner.
  • I did NOT exchange sex for a delivered white mocha this morning.  Sex should NEVER be used for that.
  • I did NOT sleep in until 10 this morning.
  • I did NOT dance down my hallway this morning to Pop Champagne by Ron Brownz

Wow, I feel so much better…
